Anti gay marriage ads are now appearing in the New York market. I think I can't watch TV for a while. That said, WPIX has refused to run the add, and they deserve our thanks. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/28/nyregion/28ad.html

Major Internet problems at home. Not good.

We're still firmly in Mercury retrograde and it is SO ANNOYING. All clusterufucks all the time.

I slept for twelve hours last night. I almost feel human.

Most annoying phrase I've seen all week: "literary magazine and lifestyle brand."

Argh argh argh stupid, stupid. I have Metropolis tickets for the same night as the lesbian pier dance. STUPID STUPID STUPID. ARGGGGGH! Okay, *breathe* Patty & I can sort this when she comes home. But super irritating.

On the plus side, about 8 billions years ago I signed up with a rewards program for my bank and forgot about it. Now I have enough points to get a $150 check from them or about $200 in gift cards from various stores. SCORE. I should probably get the gift cards to stores I use anyway -- practical stuff, like Home Depot and Bed Bath and Beyond or even the drug store.

Must consider what's next from Duchess. Shirts? Pinstripe (yes, fuck you all, I'm totally going there, but iz not a cosplay thing) suit? Grey suit (yes, fuck you all, I'm also totally going there and that's a tiny bit a cosplay thing, yes, fine, grrr)? or tux (which I will do in time to have for cruise)?

Yet more new Torchwood promo shots. Happy happy.

It means a party where everyone wears white. In this case, it was the mag trying to be cool and Truman Capote-like. To me their jsut a gay circuit thing, that involve as little clothing as possible and a lot of hunky men.

Oh, good. I like annoying better than terrifying.

You be a foreigner for a second, and you read the words 'an exclusive "white party"'. Given the weird climate in your country (PA newspaper inadvertently runs ad calling for assassination of Obama http://bit.ly/3PnUc)it's ...still perfectly embarrassing!

Oh, yeah, caught that story via ontd_p.... dear grief, I don't know what disgusts me more, that some group wanted to call for the assassination of a president, or that whoever ran ads was sufficiently history-illiterate not to get that this was the thrust of the ad! And yes, "white party" was similarly baffling to this expat.

History they don't teach. That part I get. How the party of Lincoln became the party of John Wilkes Booth is more of a mystery.
