I slept eight hours last night, but it doesn't feel like it was enough... usually a hot shower and a walk fixes me up, but no dice this go around. no recollection of the evening's dreams. I'd like to blame the time change, but I'm not sure that's what did it.

I wonder if I'm the only one suffering with yahoo mail this weekend... lots of trouble getting into the inbox the first time in. usually, I'll see everyone else griping about thaty sort of thing in their lj's.

part of an email from Rick...

I tried to make it through a Queer As Folk episode. This is the show about gay people who have gay sex and talk about their gayness in between eating gay food and working at their gay jobs. It sucks. It depicts gay people in the same way the average UPN sitcom mirrors the rich tapestry of African-American life.

Heh... I've never seen QAF, but I trust his judgement. I'm not sure why it's ok for people of any group to hold themselves up to a stereotype when nobody else can. I'm sort of an all or nothing mindset, really (leaning to the everyone can mock everyone, if they want to). I've never been very fond of political correctness...I think some things are simply correct or not.

on another tack -

custom signs - http://www.electromark.com/ffsignwizard.asp?templateXML=S-50_3.5X5.xml&catgid=3 ... I want to make a bunch... silly, the things that amuse me. I only wish that they had more "falling rocks and children crossing" style, but you can upload your own image, if you like. I'm probably going to play with it more when I get home from work tonight.

I've watched a pot until it boiled, and I don't even have heat vision. I then made macaroni and cheese, with peas and little pearl onions... so take that, cliche'!

Have you noticed that most, if not all, radio commercials that have a character who is foolish or stupid or making bad choices use a white male for that roll? It's done because white males are the only group that isn't in some kind of minority class so they can't legally complain about stereotypes.

Oh, sure... I would like to see the "homer simpson dumbass" be allowed to be more multi-cultural.

Yahoo sucks. That's why I don't use it anymore. Could never get into my "In" box and whatnot. About QAF, I really don't give a goddamn about another person's lifestyle. So long as they're not out there deliberatly killing people and making porn featuring 8-year olds, so on and so forth. Your life, your business. You said it best when you talked about a group of people holding themselves up to a stereotype when noone else is allowed to. Reality t.v my hiney!!
