So, Lance came out. My mother, when I tell her, just smiles, and goes, “Good for him! Its about time.” *snickers* I love my mother a really lot.

I do have some problems with the article, specifically regarding his family. Or, really, the whole “recent” vibe they gave it. I can totally believe that his family had some problems with the news, as they not only live in the Bible Belt, but Mississippi specifically (and I know folks who live near where Lance is from, ok, not the most open-minded area of the world), and are themselves Baptist, which is also not always super-open-minded. And really, even the most intelligent, educated, accepting people can have sudden problems dealing with things when its not just an idea, or so-and-so down the street, but their very own child/sibling/etc. So, yeah, I can mostly buy that part.

Its the idea that its recent that makes me call bullshit. I mean, Diane Bass has never come across as a moron. So why, when your son has been in the spotlight for about 10 years, when there are mags that will and have printed all kinds of lies and rumors about him and his bandmates just to sell a couple extra issues, when even reputable publications have been known to get things flat-out wrong or not be able to tell when their writers submit fiction — why would you ever believe anything posted about your son on the internet? That’s just. That’s beyond idiocy, and she’s not an idiot. Which means that either the timing is a lie, or her finding out via the net is a lie. Hard to say which, really. And I don’t entirely blame him for coming up with whichever lie it is, just because ANYTHING is better than giving publicity to a certain cockroach dick with two last names.

But you’d still think he’d come up with a better lie. Make it your grandma. Say Reichen is gonna dump your girly-hipped ass unless you come out. But don’t make your mother look dumber than Britney.

You know your emotions are shot when you cry at the end of “Find Me Guilty” because Jackie has to go back to jail alone while all the other mobsters go home.

Note to self: buy a Holly Brook album.

Got to talk to Miss Glory briefly the other day, feel a little better for it. Still sad and tired and generally sucky, but not as much. Which often is really all I want, anyway.

I updated my FTP program, and it won’t let me enter the registration code. Like, the place where I’m supposed to enter it doesn’t even exist. And despite the fact that its been a few days already, it still says “you are on day 0 of your 30 day evaluation period.” Um. Okay. As long as it keeps working, man.

Yesterday I picked up a small bag of Martin’s Kettle Gold chips. They’re really good, they’re crispy and tasty and less greasy than most chips, and salted without being a big slice of salt. Next time I get chips, I definitely have to remember to look for them.

And now, I go play Tradewinds 2.

My Sheena figure came yesterday. Its so cute! And tiny! Which I knew going in, really, the listing said she was only about four inches tall, its just hard to picture the size properly until you have it in your hands. Particularly when most of the pictures are like this:

Its so close up, and with only the box behind it, you just don’t get a real good referrence size-wise. (That’s not the one I bought, by the by. Or, it is, in that I got that variant, but its not, in that mine was boxless but still bagged, from a different seller.) I actually like the one where she’s in that same pose, holding a single white card better, but mostly I just wanted Sheena.

And now I have her. YAY!

I kind of want to get a couple more, but Kratos and Zelos can run a little pricey, and the Lloyd and Presea variants that I like don’t pop up that often (and even less often outside of sets). I have yet to see any version of Raine or Regal; I don’t know if they just never got made, or if they’re so rare people can’t get ahold of them. I hope they’re just really rare, because it’d be a shame if there was like, three versions of farking Colette, and none of Raine, who is actually interesting and useful in battle.

And I’m not just saying that because I somehow ended up with Raine as my girlfriend in the game. Really. Stop looking at me like that.

Its raining. Sadly, I don’t think this means it will be cooler later.

Watched “The Fast and the Furious” earlier. It was fun, I have no interest in the second one. There is the faint possibility that I might watch “Tokyo Drift” when that winds its way to DVD, simply because I have a Vin kink, and an Asian kink, and the two intersecting for even half a minute is enough to make me tingly.

I have to say, I didn’t find it nearly as slashy as folks had implied. I mean, yeah, Vince totally acted like a possessive ex-girlfriend any time Dom and Bryan got within ten yards of each other, and the scene with the unloading of daddy-trauma and past crimes was clearly meant to show the deep bond growing between D and B, but…really, that scene was just weird and not as explanatory as I think it was meant to be (“OMG I saw my daddy burn and heard his screams but they were my own, WOE! BTW, totally almost murdered this guy because I COULDN’T STOP HITTING HIM.” Uh. Okay. But why’d you start hitting him, honey?). And, honestly, I liked the Dom/Lettie thing too much to really feel any boylove.

I mean, they were so awesome! He’s all huge and she’s teeny, and she gets all “BACK OFF BITCHES HES MINE!” and he just smiles and is all “baby, you know its all you.” And she has such attitude and this big “touch me or objectify me and I will use your balls as fuzzy dice” aura, and he comes along and just manhandles her every which way and calls her his trophy, and she’s suddenly an eager little docile kitten. They ROCK, and you will never convince me otherwise.

….I wonder if there’s any Dom/Lettie fic out there….
