I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Lesbian kisses are the new weddings and/or fires:

"You either have a wedding or you burn down something," Mr. Marshall said. "That's what you do during sweeps week."

Or that's what you used to do, back when "Happy Days" was big. Weddings and fires might provide transfusions of plot for lifeless shows, and they even fit two of four requirements for a good sweeps stunt. But that's nothing compared with the lesbian kiss, which hits all four.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Gah. My coffee seems to be time delayed this morning. I am already going to be late for work, and now I am wondering if I should just go back to sleep and be more late.

That NYT lesbian kiss story has the wrong picture for the Willow/Tara caption. I guess one lesbian kiss is as good as any other.

t eta But I love the story for this line:

And lesbianism on both shows often appears to be a displaced consummation of the intimate, complex relationships between the central male characters: Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan (James Lafferty) on "One Tree Hill," and Seth (Adam Brody) and Ryan (Benjamin McKenzie) on "The O.C."

HoYAY!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Someone pointed out (WDC, perhaps?) that they don't say Tara's in the picture. One can wank it -- or one can assume that in a caption where they point out Willow's on the left, they don't need to tell you Tara's on the right.

To me it looked like she was kissing Dawn.

Okay -- the group next to me moved from trash talking their boss to trash talking the only member of their group that's not in yet. I'm skulking behind my monitor to eavesdrop.

Or more of a dance move?

Aurelia, dance move, of course.

Lesbian kisses are the new weddings and/or fires:

Well if you are the OC or One Tree Hill, you have all three!

That's a pretty strenous wank. Whatever - sloppy. And Kennedy? Blech.

I just point the wank. I don't wank the wank.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just point the wank. I don't wank the wank.

Words to live by....

I can't even.

I think it is lazy for the New York Times. Yeah, they have Willow, and two women kissing, and they haven't directly misidentified the second smoocher as Tara, but they should have tried harder to get a Willow/Tara photo.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Weird cat story (sorry Hec). I'm eating a banana power muffin from TJs- added protein, less sugar, and still almost yummy. Perkins the cat decided he wanted to taste it badly enough that he climbed up on the table to get at it. This is something he hasn't done since he was a kitten and got past the learning curve.

Makes me wonder if the added protein is fish based or something.
