Kodak moment

I'm so happy, my gaydar works!!! Ever since I saw this cashier at a local store I just KNEW he was gay. Well, I was like 95% sure he was gay. I was as sure about it as I was about Alvaro back at MSU international office and he turned out to be gay. You just gotta love social media! And how did I find out for sure? He looked up my profile on the Finnish equivalent of gay facebook. I, of course, don't have a picture up there so he might not know who I am, but I know who HE is and I know that he's gay so...I win! YAY for my gaydar! Of course this does absolutely nothing to help with the ladies but I've always known my gaydar works better on men than women so I'm just gonna have to live with it.

There is absolutely NOTHING that Brooklyn and Dunkin Donuts can do that is not worth snapping a picture of. Nothing. They are cute when they sleep, they're cute when they eat, they are cute when they purr, they are cute when they play, they are even cute when they annoy the hell out of me. They are just CUTE. I now basically have my camera with me at all times just so that I don't miss anything. Except when I go to the bathroom. Which would just be gross. But I'm missing great pictures ops. And now I'm really beginning to think that at least with Brooklyn I might have a shot of teaching him how to use the human toilet bowl. DD just hands out but Brooklyn gets up close and personal. When I flush, he gets up on his back paws and leans in and watches the water swirl. And after I left he just laid on top of the lid. I went to get my camera but he had moved already by the time I got back there.

I'm seeing the beginning stages of crazy-cat-lady-syndrom coming on. I talk about my cats all the time, I talk TO my cats all the time and I'm all sweet and sugary mush with them. And the baby talk. Please! It is just physically impossible to NOT talk to them like they're babies. Or like they understand anything I'm saying. But seriously, have you seen them? How cute are they?

Here's a video of Dunkin Donuts taking on a banana. Fruits can just be...dangerous and scary!


Brooklyn the great hunter got himself an UGG slipper earlier today which was caught on film but I'll post it another day.

To go back to my post from yesterday regarding Venice and TV shows... The thing about network shows with lesbian characters that annoy me is the hesitancy of which they touch each other. And the lack of intimacy and showing of affection. Not sure if it's the actresses, the directing, the network or what but with so many of these so called couples you wouldn't know they are a couple unless it's specifically addressed. With Grey's Anatomy season 7 once Callie and Arizona were "happy together" they acted like friends. If you didn't know they were "married"you'd never would have gotten it from the way they acted towards each other. The straight couples on the show were going at it like bunnies but the lesbian couple didn't even touch each other. No hand holding, no hair playing, no touching the face and NO kissing. With Brittany and Santana on Glee, unless they specifically mention that Santana is a lesbian or has the hots for Brittany you don't see it eaither. And they have not even kissed yet.

With Venice you don't see any hesitancy when Gina and Ani or Ani and Lara interact with each other and they've got the affection down to perfection. I don't necessarily need to see them going at it like bunnies but the fact that they can makes all the difference. And let's face it, NOT kissing or touching ever draws more attention than the occasional kiss or a hug. So to conclude...the acting on Venice is organic and relatable. And this concludes my gay rant.
