I had a nice talk with my mom on the phone. It will probably be another month before I get to see her, but since everything is up in the air as to what's going to happen next month, I'd better not count on anything.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Natter 58: Let's call Venezuela!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Weird. Just watched a taped "American Masters" on Aretha Franklin which left me feeling quite coldly about the lady. In no doubt about her extreme talent, but put off about the woman. And from living in Detroit I already had a hint of the crazy.
I'm remembering her distancing herself from George Michael--was that about his homosexuality or his legal troubles?
So I'm reading up ahead of time on Marvin Gaye. Now, I already know he was an addict and a woman-beater, but shit. What an unhealthy prick.
At least the Zora Neale Hurston one was about a woman you'd actually want to spend time with.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm excited to see Jesse Martin play Gaye in a movie, though.
(Of course, I've already seen him play gay in a movie...)

Didja know Marvin's last name was Gay, but he added the "e" because his dad's crossdressing already made him over-sensitive?

I did not know that.

I think Jesse Martin will do a very pretty job. But I wonder if they'll go as dark as my quick googling indicates. Hell, I wonder if they'll go as far as his own crossdressing...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Anybody watching Brothers and Sisters? Did anything significant happen in the last few minutes, after Kevin told Sarah what he remembered about the picture ? DC's ABC station lost signal right as Kevin was trying to remember the woman's name .

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
Hil, yes. Rebecca and Justin met up and she confessed that she didn't want to start from the beginning and that he was always the person she wanted to talk to about things. then they kissed.

The status is NOT quo.
Checking the Buffista map, I finally realized that Tamara was in LA. How did I not know this? Clearly I am oblivious.

Thanks, tiggy.
