Jesus christ, Al Sharpton is only 53 years old!? I thought he was at least 60.

Also, incidentally, Al is awesome in a lot of ways:

"Sharpton is a supporter of equal rights for gays and lesbians, including same-sex marriage. During his presidential campaign in 2003, Sharpton said he thought it was insulting to be asked to discuss the issue of gay marriage. "It's like asking do I support black marriage or white marriage... The inference of the question is that gays are not like other human beings."[59]"


*edit*
LOL:

"Sharpton was quoted as saying to an audience at Kean College in 1994 that, “White folks was in caves while we was building empires ... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”[62] Sharpton defended his comments by noting that the term “homo” was not homophobic but added that he no longer uses the term.[63] Sharpton has since called for an end to perceived homophobia in the African-American community.[64]"

Less than a paragraph apart!

What it is, Robespierre!

According to my housemate Aoife, the one that took place in the rain in Dublin last night was like that, certainly, although the music was in the form of radio stations that you tuned into using a receiver and your own headphones, so there was a finite range of music.

That's exactly what it was. Our campus radio station hosted it.

I hope your weather was better than ours.  It was freezing on Saturday night.

but yelling and singing along with people are some of the greatest parts of dancing!

I've heard there's a club here where this kind of dancing can be done, but it might be just a rumour.

but yelling and singing along with people are some of the greatest parts of dancing!

Actually we did that too. It was awesome.

[peacocks]

I should investigate this silent dance party thing more then.

The boyfriend turns a year older on Thursday and I used my ultra awesome Hollywood connections to get him a super cheesy head shot of a Canadian actress he's got the hots for. It comes with personalized birthday greetings! Do I give it to him as a card or get the tacky thing framed? You've put me in a quandary, [Canadian actress]. A quandary.

[Aglaya]

Eh, I'd give it to him in a card.  That way, if he so desires, he can buy whatever frame he likes.

[Johnny Miracle]

So, I went to the Bronx zoo the other day. My friend works there so I got in for free.

I saw the oscillated turkey. It was really cool. Although, I found the fact that the "World of Birds" gets almost no funding to be very sad. It looked like an elementary school that had fallen into dis-repair.

my fellow blackmericans

I'd frame it, actually. Preferably in a ridiculously ornate frame.

Also, hello Johnny Miracle. I went to the Bronx Zoo once. There's a butterfly house there. It's creepy and excellent at the same time.

[alexandra]

I went to the park and saw approx. 2/3 of Brooklyn walking, talking, or playing. it was unreal and awesome.

[Greg Nog]

hannah, is it the unbelievably hot widow from Deadwood?  The one who is unbelievably hot?  Is it that one?

[hannah]

Yep, that it is! He's all about her circa Twitch City.

[citrus]

I just noticed the who's doing what page. That is downright creepy guys.

I bought the Twitch City DVD in large part because she's in it.

You tell him hands off of Ms. Parker; there's only room on her elegant neck for one set of lips and they shall be MINE

[edison]

Hannah, that sounds like an awesome present.

How is Twitch City, anyway?

Thanks, I hope he likes it! (It really is a cheesy photograph that does no justice to her natural splendor.)

And I like Twitch City, but perhaps I'm obligated to as a fan of most things Canadian (but especially the Kids in the Hall, Don McKellar, Sloan...). It has its own rhythm, though, which takes a certain amount of adjusting to -- don't expect to get hooked right away or to laugh at all. Instead, it turns you into Curtis, the main character, who loves TV so much that he never leaves his apartment; it sucks you in like that.

[hannah]

(I've decided to give it as a card. He'd probably be too embarrassed to display it, anyway. I'll decorate the envelope and all will be swell.) ("Swell." I'm just begging for an erection joke, aren't I?)

[Maaik]

I just wanted to post this again

[Greg Nog]

Taco Bongo is all well and good, but I think we're ignoring the bigger question here, which is:

hannah, does Molly Parker's headshot feature all her lovely freckles, or are they airbrushed/foundationed out?

[ellaguru]

Twitch City's mostly pretty great, but a little uneven. Molly Parker's good in it, too. I like how she's totally incapable of getting and holding any sort of job, in spite of being apparently nice, bright and competent.

[hannah]

I do believe they are airbrushed out, which contributes to the photograph's overall corniness. Her eyes also GLOW. It's creepy. But I guess she apologized to my go-between for the cheese.
