Really americans speaking french is hot? There's a reason I don't try to speak french with you, I don't want you to die of laughter.

Haha I'm impressed you could wear that mascot outfit, they'd have to do a lot of convincing to get me to wear that. But good picture.

Happy Birthday Hylas!

Maybe we can get someone to give us French lessons.

Hehe if you've come to that decision objectively than I respect it. I like spanish and french though. I'm not sure if I like te quiero or je t'aime better. I think they're both quite nice.

I'm from New York, they drive just as fast there as in Montreal, so I didn't notice the difference. And if you think Montreal is fast, come to Michigan where the speed limit is 70. You can imagine how fast they go on the highway.

Uhoh you might have a disagreement with Frenchcanadian over that. I think french can be quite lovely when sung.

Hmm... some of the books I love: Becoming a Man by Paul Monette, a great memoir about growing up gay in the 60s and 70s. Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem. The Adventure of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon (both Fortress and Kavalier are great novels about people who love comic books).

I have one suggestion: closed captionining. Works like a charm.

Haha speaking from actual experience this is totally true.

And FYI, Gus Van Sant is directing a movie about Harvey Milk with Sean Penn as Harvey Milk and Josh Brolin (from No Country for Old Men) as Dan White as Milk's assassin.

I've got some preludes to play for you right now.

Oh nice! I love Brahms, Beethoven, Mozart, Stravinsky, Handel and a bunch of others. I took piano lessons for years. I can be your accompanist.

Ooh you like classical music too? Sweet!

That sounds about right. Maybe you should start hanging out with her at music school.

The episode between Jack and his namesake is probably the best gay sci-fi episode ever.

Did someone say Christian Bale?

Yah for geeks!

Torchwood is a super-secret british agency that handles all alien contact. Their leader is the bisexual Capt. Jack. Who cannot die. I mean he dies often, but he always comes back. It's his curse. Capt. Jack leads a crew who investigate alien visits and kill bad aliens (almost all of them are bad and most sleep with us too). All of the crew has secrets, Jack is sleeping with his assistant, they do kinky things together. Anyway, the world's gone to pot at the start of season 2, disease has infected earth from all the time jumping. So it's torchwood to the rescue -- with plenty of sex, gay and straight and otherwise. There's also a lot of crossover between Torchwood and Dr. Who. And yah for all the other Torchwood fans out there. I also love Dr. Who. But I didn't want to seem like too much of a geek, lol.

I don't know if any of you watch this show, but the second season premier is coming up soon. It's on BBCAmerica (Or just the BBC if you happen to be in England). It's written by Russell Davies, the author of British Queer as Folk and it's very gay and a lot of fun. The best episode was when Capt. Jack jumps back in time and meets a gay soldier whom he knows is going to die the next day. SOOO SWEET! Anyway, here's the link to the season preview: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e4OySGjiQ4Y I highly recommend you catch it if you can.

I figured you had seen that movie.

You have a Halo too? LOL.

I've seen this movie as well and I thought it was quite adorable. It was really a positive message.

Haha.... Just remember he's not really campy, just does it for show.

Haha I'm sure I could just email it to the interested parties.
