I love this safety video for Air New Zealand…I could see Southwest doing something like this…but no way US Airways or any other stick in the ass airline. This chart surprises me, not the fact that support for same sex marriage is growing but the fact that it’s still so low in some places… ex. North Carolina. I guess there are still a lot of rural folks (and city folks by the way) that just don’t get it. I forget that Bill James exist. I guess i’ve been in New York too long.
Matt Damon is gonna star as Liberace’s boyfriend in the new Liberace movie next year. Michael Douglas will be playing Liberace which seems kind of weird to me. Matt Damon is God by the way. Yesterday, the Arizona state house passed legislation that says that straight couples will have first dibs on children. Only if no married straight couples can be found would a child become available to others. This would overrule the existing practice of the Department of Economic Security that makes the “best interests of the child” the primary factor when considering placing a child for adoption.
It’s snowing…prolly about six inches, but believe or not, this is our first bigger snow since early December. While the rest of the east coast has been socked a couple of times, we’ve been relatively dry, but this one seems to be piling up quicker than they thought. We’ll see. This is a special news report from Mike Wallace called CBS Reports: The Homosexuals from 1967. If you have 45 minutes, watch it. It has interviews with Gore Vidal, various members of The Mattachine Society, politicians, prosecutors, law enforcement, and both closed and out in the open gay people. It’s been a while since I’ve put anything here. Just keeping up with other people’s stuff and spending TOO much time on facebook when I AM in front of the computer, and then also just doing real life things to amuse myself, I guess this blog thing takes a back seat much like I’ve seen it has with countless others. We were supposed to get some snow today but like the rest of the winter, looks like we’re out of luck. They’ve downgraded expectations to 3-6 inches….and that’s really alright with me. We’re usually due 60-70 inches of snow a season but so far, we had that snow of 6 or 8 inches in early December and a few small snows since then, but really nothing. It’s been COLD though, OMG! I hate it. This year has had only 5 days over 40and only 9 over freezing. Can you tell I just watched the weather guy? This is Casey wanting to jump onto The Mohawk River after a bird
This is Lake Champlain from a road trip a couple of weeks ago. We had never been all the way to the very northern part on Vermont so we made our way Plattsburgh, NY and took the ferry over to Vermont and then to St. Albans where we ate here (and they freaking had everything) and then to northern Vermont and then to Canada. We made our way into the Canadian countryside where where we explored for a while and then set the GPS to come home. THIS is where we entered the United States again. I would have taken pictures but I think they may frown on that especially considering we had a remote starter hidden under the seat because it looks like a bomb and the fact that Duncan had a hard time finding his license on the way back through so I was sure we were were about to get detained and stripped searched in this cabin they called a security checkpoint.
And finally, if you haven’t seen this great Google commercial, take a look. Here’s a clip from the upcoming Runaways movie, and here’s the trailer. The movie chronicles The Runaways from 1975 – 1977; formed by teenage girls living near Hollywood, CA., and heavily manipulated by their manager Kim Fowley as ‘jailbait rock’ (all the girls were 16 or younger when the band recorded their first album). The band ultimately succeeds on their own merits as musicians, becoming the first all-girl rock-band to ever break into the world of arena-filling hard rock acts. Based on a book by lead singer Cherie Currie, the early days of The Runaways include Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Sandy West, Jackie Fox, and Micki Steele from the Bangles. The band broke up in 1979 but OMG! Joan Jett!!! Will this be my first Dakota Fanning movie ever? I always liked Better Off Ted, undoubtedly no one else did. It went away for a while but has come back but now I hear it’s been canceled. I have had a thing for Portia De Rossi since the days of Nick Freno. Don’t worry, I also had a thing for Nick Freno. She was then great in Ally McBeal and then in Arrested Development, another great show that shouldn’t have been canceled. I think I’m just gonna stay home all day while this bug I have breaks up. I feel like this will be the last day….since the last update I saw Avatar and it was AWESOME! Never thought it would be. My dad fell last Friday night. Saturday his chest was hurting so my mom called the EMT’s . They monitored him for an hour and felt he probably just had bruised his ribs. He hurt all day and the next day he was fine. He didn’t even remember falling. I guess sometimes dementia has it’s advantages. UPDATE: I just googled Mitch Mullany (Nick Freno) and he died in 2008 at age 39 from a diabetic-related stroke. I love Glee… OK, I said it… If you hang around me, you know that already because it is many times proclaimed. A little disappointed since the first episode because Jane Lynch has been so underutilized (though still loving it). I just watched this week’s episode and that changed. Is everything she does not just awesome? I’ve loved that lesbian since I saw her in Best Of Show. Work….The past week and a half has been one of those I hate my job times. I came out of that sometime Wednesday but I DO need a vacation (not the kind where you just visit parents)….bad. It’s starting to get cold (Fall Sucks) and just where is the sun? I missed spring and most of summer because of the freaking broken leg. I starting to feel good and now fall is here. Fall Sucks! Foreign commercials rock. GOD HAS A BETTER WAY is planning to protest Gay Pride in Charlotte this Saturday.
This is just a way to intimidate people who are scared to come out not to come and people who just want to have some fun not to come. They don’t understand the angrier people are, the more they’ll rise above. Brighter note…sure you know this is the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing. Didn’t want to watch it when I was 4….wanted to watch Jim and Tammy with their puppets and all that…glad I get to watch it on YouTube now. That kind of describes my winter…and spring, but that’s not what I’m talking about. That’s the movie they shot here in Schenectady last year. Saw it a few days ago and it was just okay, nothing special. But the the images were great, not because it was filmed here, the the location was 1977 small town Wisconsin in the middle of winter and well, that’s here. Got to see the creek where we walk Casey, the Mohawk River, lots of City Hall shots, inside and out, and Union College. Also the GE Plot and Mikes Hot Dogs though the house on Avenue A they did a lot of shooting at I could not pick out. Like I said, it’s just okay so only rent it if you live around here, otherwise move along. I thought I just wouldn’t say anything about Michael Jackson but his music was an important part of my kid-hood and young adulthood….but he disappointed me. At work last night, it has hard to find anyone really sad and I myself did not shed a tear. A lot of jokes were passed but I don’t know if gay people disliked him most or straight guys. Only a few young girls seemed upset and protested his innocence. BTW, my leg is doing OK. My doc gave me the release to do anything I wanted as long as I was comfortable doing it. I still move at a snail’s pace and my first try at impact was quite painful but I can walk pretty good and lift heavy stuff, just slowly…and I’m still weak. I did walk Casey around the block which took forever and I think she was trying to kill me but I held my own pretty good. My thoughts are with Michael and Lara while their dog Madison is going through a hard time right now. |
