Good News/Bad News

Pretty picture (worksafe) : http://www.theonering.net/scrapbook/view/8976

Good news: Orlando Bloom, with his own curly beautiful black hair instead of poncy flaxen elven locks, is in the upcoming movie Troy.

Bad news: Judging by this picture, the movie's characters are being dressed in pseudo-Ancient Greek clothing. I was hoping that, just once, I'd get to see Mycenaean and Hittite clothing in the movies (Mycenaean clothes were very much like Minoan clothes). Ah, well.

Happy National Coming Out Day!

It took me all day to write this because I am not sure what to say. There's so much that I could say: from anger at the "defense" of marriage that consists of preventing people from getting married; to musings on my own sexual/relationship history; to hopes for a future where love is love is love and committment is committment, regardless of style, expression, number, ethnicity, and gender; to my confused delight at seeing more than one person I know to be Christian write about this day approvingly.

I dunno, though. I think I'd rather see what others have to say. What do you have to say?
