It's the funniest thing--I walked outside yesterday, and it was spring. Around here, spring usually hits the last week of February or so, so it's not like it wasn't right on time. But it's always funny, how you just look up and go, "Damn. It's spring." The daffodils are out in the yards up and down the street; the jasmine on our back fence has started to blossom again; the chirpy birds (as opposed to the cawing birds; we had plenty of those all winter) have come back. The sunlight even looks a little richer, a little more gold, than it did in February, which was the greyest, marshiest, most joyless month we've had for a long time. I kind of miss the cold already, as much as I like spring, but I guess the gardenias should be coming out soon, and cold snaps tend to ruin those. I just wish we had tulip trees--I used to love the ones we had on campus when I was in college, a whole row of them.

Defamer: "We were ready not to enjoy Point Brokeback, the roughly one-millionth send-up of this century's most parodied film. But we watched it, as we always wind up doing, and we have to say: Swayze and Keanu would've made a pretty good gay surfer movie."

Wait, this just in: The End Of 'Brokeback' Parodies. Sorry, you guys.

Stephen Glass-esque shenanigans at the Village Voice. If nothing else, read the original story (which seems, at the moment, to be mostly true) for info on the dumb-ass lines guys are apparently using on girls (except in New York, where apparently all the girls have heard them by now. "I need a woman's opinion. My friend wants to buy--" "A wallaby? And yes, I think David Bowie looks great these days").

"Nine former fans of American Idol star Clay Aiken are forging ahead with threats to sue his record label bosses for false advertising." Wait... so, you're saying that you couldn't tell he was gay?

And to finish up, IMDB vandals decided to have a little fun with (an apparently real, just not as described) My Little Pony movie. You know how I can tell it's fake? Not because it's ridiculously star-studded now--I can tell because the character names are stuff like "Yellow courageous glittry [sic] pony," rather than total porn star names. (I owned 500,000 ponies and I still only got four answers right, y'all.)

wow they are nine very dumb ladies.

I'm thinking that the heart of the matter is they feel weird that they've had sexual fantasies about a guy who would never have sex with them. Because obviously, if he WASN'T gay, he'd seek out each of them and give her a night of the greatest pleasure she's ever known! Too bad that will never happen NOW, all because his bosses didn't say "OH BY THE WAY. HE LIKES GUYS."

did they ever really say "he likes girls" ? because fantasies are fantasies ladies! you cant sue just cuz you had em!

*looks at all the Alan Cumming fangirls, slash writers, and Brokeback enthusiasts she knows*

Wait... you mean that kind of thing can be a turn-off? Huh. How quaint.

[kokopellinelli]

Yeah, no kidding. They must be old.

And I love how they compare the prospect of his being gay to the sale of a "defective product." Wow, major issues there, ladies. Aparantly they failed to look at the packaging's terms of usage. Just because it is unresponsive when faced with the prospect of sex with the psycho stalker lady fans of death, doesn't mean it's not fully functional at, say, an NSYNC concert, ifyaknowhati'msayin. Step off ladies. Homie don't play that.
