We got our French essays back yesterday. Apparently, I have a tendency to be too literal in my translation. This should come as no surprise to anyone who's met me. What's funny is that, as concrete-thinking as I am, I'm great at navigating and know what direction I'm facing virtually at all times. *shrug*
Went to a lecture entitled Gay and Lesbian Representations in the Media last night, and wow. I just. Wow. For years, homicidal lesbians running a nursing home was practically the norm! They put this on television! And thought nothing of it! Whatever your opinion of Queer As Folk, we've come a long way. Gotta love those 90s.
The DJ in the Union amphitheater was spinning Sunglasses At Night when it got out. First time hearing it, too, which is sad. I need to get in much better touch with my 80s roots.
The Gator Nights film was Peter Pan so Miranda finally got to see it, and while she wasn't entirely swept off her feet, I remain as enamored as ever. Jeremy Sumpter is positively enchanting.
The ex-boy finally roped me into a hockey game this afternoon, and dude. Dude! Hockey rocks! He gave me a crash course on the rules, and we watched the entire playoff game between Tampa Bay and New York. Ice skating happens to be an old love of mine, though I only ever did the figure kind. But watching these guys? I totally missed a calling. It's really cool when done right, all kinds of mad maneuvering and fancy footwork and graceful technique. Oh, and checking is fun too.
So, in honor, the Word of the Day is Khabibulin, the goalie for the Tampa Bay Lightning. His nickname is the Bulin Wall! Ahahaha! I'm so in love.
Quotes of the Day:
Interviewer: "...And you're gay?"
Carter: "Except for one night back in college when I was really drunk."
-Spin City
"I don't much like the futon. It doesn't know whether it is a couch or a bed - it is like the bisexual of furniture!"
-Josh
[ETA: OMG, they're singing together at Challenge. I won't survive, I just won't. We held our breath all last year, but with Justin being sick and everything else, but this. JC said it! Together! I am all of fourteen years old right now, and probably will devolve back to it whenever I so much as think about this for the next three months.]
