Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Go, Sheryl Swoopes!

But this:

"The talk about the WNBA being full of lesbians is not true," Swoopes says. "There are as many straight women in the league as there are gay.

Kind of makes me laugh, because don't people generally agree that at most 10% of the general population is gay? If the WNBA is 50-50, that counts to me as "full of lesbians." And I should know, what with my LESBIAN LOVER and all.

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

That's what I hear a lot. But I've also heard that % is too high - the % of gay men is lower and the % of lesbians lower still.

I know nothing of the methodology of this data.

If the WNBA is 50-50, that counts to me as "full of lesbians."

Is the lesbian cup half-full or half-empty?

Oh, and I think this wins the "Not Helping Things" award:

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran’s hard-line president called for Israel to be “wiped off the map” and said a new wave of Palestinian attacks will destroy the Jewish state, state-run media reported Wednesday.

That's why I said "at most."

Sorry - my brain is still asleep, I think.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I heard that Kinsey asserted it at 10%; his methodology was discounted and nowadays it's thought that 3% of people are gaymotron and 1% are lovers-of-Jesse.

So I got a call yesterday to go for an interview for a job I applied for in May or June. Which is a great morale boost. They were sending me some information via email, but I haven't been able to access that email account all morning. It's driving me crazy.

I'll put the first four on a DVD, and mail out three copies to start trees. By the weekend.

can I be part of the tree? and I promise to send you those songs that you wanted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Looks like there are a couple more Eyes eps to become available. I'll put the first four on a DVD, and mail out three copies to start trees. By the weekend.

So absurdly happy.

I'd just been thinking about it over the last couple of days -- what with the semi-official word of no Inside DVDs, no how, no way, it occurred to me that if The Inside wasn't getting DVDs, then no way in hell would Eyes ever see the light of day again. I was about to hunt down the names of the writers and send them fangurl letters begging for at least plot outlines for the season-that-wasn't.

Actually, I should write those letters anyway, because the writing was so damn smart and fun and they deserve to know how fully what they created has stayed alive to at least one viewer.

That's exciting, Sue!

I have now made plans to get together with a slightly annoying friend to study for our test tonight. I don't really wanna.
