Why O Why Do We Pay Taxes?!?!?

Well, jury duty was a non-event, but a long one. I even took a nap as we waited. I brought a book, but it sucked. So I was left to my own devices. I did not have to resort to any twitching or incoherent whispering ---- just had to wait and waste away my time which grows shorter with each birthday! Ugh!

Oh, and I've new problem! Now, I am used to the fact that Karl and I are on all sorts of gay mailing lists and I even enjoy some of that snail mail. Essentially, we get ads for gay travel agents, gay credit cards, gay movies, gay cartoons, gay porno, gay erotica, gay toys, gay, gay, gay. It is OK, but now we are receiving a whole new class of mail that really perplexes me.

We're getting adverts for Playboy, Maxim and we even received the Playboy gift catalog. Why are we receiving this hetro-macho-mail?!?!?! I can assure you that we are good practicing queers. This should not happen to us. I mean Playgirl -- sure, but not Playboy and Hustler! It offends me.

I mean, I am all fine with men being sexually objectified ---- but am not comfortable when it happens to women. This is my porno double standard. Women have been treated as sex objects for far too long --- I feel it is time for men to be treated the same. ...and I wanna watch!

But I do not want on this mailing list hetro loop! Oy!

Oh, I've recently gotten into a local band which I feel will be going places. They totally rule. I've not seen them live because I am old and don't do that whole club thing. Anyway, check them out. They are The Dresden Dolls Check �em out! I highly recommend their new CD!

I am all excited because the newly-released DVD's for French & Saunders and the ABFAB Specials DVD came in today! Much fun watching --- not to mention all of the anime I purchased yesterday! I picked up "Descendants from Darkness" which is a very well animated series with a gay slant. Am really getting into anime. Love it!
