Yesterday felt like the day Patty and I never quite woke up. We both got done what we needed to do and not much more, and I assume it's from the whole walking and sun thing on Saturday. Annoyingly, I still feel a bit like that today, which is no good as I have an important audition.

I scraped through this round of WIAD by the skin of my teeth.

Anyone having problems with the most recent Blackberry software update? When I try to send outgoing gmail now, it just sort of sits there in the open message window. Is there a way to reboot or something?

USB typewriter.

thornsilver found this bit of dysfunction from Canary Wharf. Fun for Torchwood fen.

Two marines arrested after beating a gay man for winking at them.

A NYT editorial in support of equal marriage rights.

Gay best friends crowned prom king and queen at their high school, and for a change from recent news stories, most everyone was cool with it. via ginmar.

While survival rates for oiled birds and other wildlife is low, some argue that we must keep trying to save them.

If you were a sea turtle, what sort of video would you take? I am completely mesmerized by this.

Unemployed and looking for work? Better not let a potential employer know. Lots are refusing to hire the unemployed, regardless of reason for said unemployment.

Meanwhile, Arizona's charge to hate EVERYONE has been going on for a while, did you know they also rescinded benefits for domestic partners and their children?

I am struck, watching Angel, how drawn we (we, audiences? we, fandom? I am not sure) are to narratives of becoming. It's why Wesley's arc is so fucking satisfying. It's why the Snape arc fizzles in the 7th HP book (in book 4 and book 6 he steps up into more and frightening things merely hinted at... in book 7, snake bubble to the head and a discovery that he's solely living in the past) and it's why Ianto's death is such a fucking punch -- there was transformation and now we're never going to see into what.

So I sort of get the impression that Wesley and Lilah are actually quite fond of each other. I'm oddly charmed. OMG with the phone sex. Also, damn does Alexis Denisof have a fine body. I think those things a lot, but I don't say them because it's a little boring and a little weird, but damn.

And thank crap we got Lorne back. Am concerned about the Cordy amnesia plot.

The desire to create some kind dummy corporation that "hires" people for the purpose of getting them jobs elsewhere is immense. Now if only I had the ridiculous money I'd need to handle the set-up. I'm tragically not so naive to think that a workplace version of the film Accepted wouldn't get me fined and/or sued.
