June 20, 2005: Gay marriage is legalized across Canada.



Congrats to the happy family!

If you live in the U.S, here's some stuff on marriage equality. Because yay for Canadians, real and fictional, and hopefully soon yay for us, too.

OH MY GOD.
I just watched CoTW for the first time ever.
I nearly sobbed in the arms of the rat_jam viewing chat.

THEY REALLY ARE MARRIED. I am dead of happy.

There was a lot more fan in my holiday than I anticipated, mainly because between Bittorrent, Youtube, and other people's wireless networks, it is difficult to find a place where I can't drown my boredom with delicious delicious television. I was going to resolve to watch less tv this year, but I have to at least finish Due South s4. Also, I confess to the internet, I started watching Queer as Folk (US). Why? Frankly, because the internet has infected my brain to such a degree that all tv shows look slashy, and I decided it would help to watch a show where the dudes actually do get it on, a lot. I'm only four episodes in, and so far I've been too busy really really hating Brian to form any other conclusions. Everyone else hates Brian, right?

I am feeling the disadvantages of watching shows years after they aired right now.

I caught up on SGA season 3 while I was at home, which was good in a way. I have been horribly gun-shy of SGA since I read Freedom is Just Another Word by synecdochic. It makes me feel like a twelve-year-old to admit it, but now every time I read (or even watch) SGA I get a little weebly but-their-love-was-so-beautiful about the whole thing. Silly but apparently unstoppable.

The new SGA episodes I very much don't hate. I like it when they stay in the city and snark at each other, and I really really hate episodes where they go offplanet to visit Olde-Europe-as-found-in-Busch-Gardens villages full of bustiered women. My brother calls this syndrome of mine "The Office in Space". My sister says it's a throwback to growing up with Babylon 5, where there were exactly two sets and no action sequences to speak of (besides when their one stuntman jump-spinning-kicked someone). Just forty-five minutes of well-written, well-delivered dialogue. That's what I want from a show, man.

That and attractive dude makeouts. So I will go see if QAF is done downloading yet. Why does iTunes never have these things? I would buy them, I swear, just for the convenience.
