Patty comes home tomorrow.

Last night ladyofthelog and I went to see some Baroque opera at BAM. This was quite pleasing, although the staging wasn't anything much (it seems because they are pulling out all the stops for next week's Faerie Queen) and there was a dude sitting next to me who was creepy, unkempt, smelled like pee and would get actively annoyed if you got out of your seat to let him find his as opposed to, you know, letting him rub all over you. For the win, that.

White Collar 1.9 Mortgage fraud is boring. Neal/El/Peter -- so want to be doing each other. The chess move postcard? Doesn't feel like a Kate move. Or a Fowler move. Does feel like a Peter or Moz move. The paper flower: tell me that didn't actually get by Peter and Moz. And now we're just all back to trusting Peter? And Neal seems pretty functional again? Okay. I get that we needed a lighter episode in some ways, but.... yeah. I'm making a face.

The Shrine Down the Hall: a look at the bedrooms left behind by America's young war dead.

I haven't seen an update on this since last night, but yesterday Lt. Dan Choi locked himself to the gates of the White House to protest DADT. He was, as everyone expected, arrested. And then they didn't let him make his phone call or grant him bail. Yesterday, speculation was running high that the case would move to the military court system and that, among other things, anti-gay folks would use Lt. Choi's actions to be all "see, this is why we can't have gays in the military." The situation is really not good.

Meanwhile, a retired US general declares that the massacre in Bosnia happened because of the presence of homosexuals in European armies. I realize, I should say something more effective here than "fuck you so much," but I got nothing.

It's a good time to be in the market for a mansionette.

I saw some of him speaking on Maddow and I just stared. He really just doesn't get it. Even when it was broken down to "you say no one should get special treatment but heterosexuals are allowed to be openly heterosexual without being discharged, why is that OK?" He just really, really did not get it. And I didn't get him so I just…stared.

Also, Freudian slip, I totally wrote "homosexual" at first instead of heterosexual the second time up there. Uy.
