another one for the Ask And You Shall Receive file

The second season of Showtime's brilliantly honest series Queer As Folk is now available for pre-order on amazon.com. I haven't had a chance to see more than a couple of episodes owing to the lamentable lack of cable in the dorms, but it's definitely on the Wish List.

miscellaneous footage, take one

2002 Billboard Music Awards. Firstly, hands up, all those who thought the artist known as JC Chasez would ever be involved in presenting *any* award for Rap Artist of the Year. Uh-huh, me too.

So they're up there, and the two other guys are doing all the talking. Then Joe turns to JC, who's been standing behind the two of them, and says: "Say something, dawg."

My thoughts? "Heh. If they'll let him."

No sooner do the words leave his mouth than the entire arena erupts with screaming and applause. JC steps forward and gives him a small smile with an even smaller helpless shrug before announcing the nominees. So cute!

if not, someone needs to get on this

The pictures from the Celebrity tour consist entirely of the guys in suits, Lance in his blue shirt, Justin hitting his falsetto notes and having guitar sex, and Joey and JC gazing at each other, in various phases of touching. From Joey's head on JC's shoulder to stool-sharing to JC sitting on his lap, I'm surprised these two pried themselves apart to dance.

My question is, has anyone written the epic love story that unfolded so beautifully and publicly during the spring of 2002? Links? Anyone?
