I feel pretty and witty and gay...

What with June being LGBT month in the US, thanks to Obama (pretty words good, but hopefully he'll actually *do* something soon), and so forth, I thought this video would be a nice tribute. It's clips from the peaceful march in San Diego on 26th of May 09, set to Adam Lambert's 'Mad World'. (Does anyone have an mp3 of that btw? I can suddenly see what all the fuss was about.)

Otherwise I have achieved a MIRACLE in the girls' bedroom (not done, but OMG so much better), since m-i-l was so kind as to let them all sleep over last night giving me lots of time. ALSO, Darcy and I went to the cinema and finally saw Star Trek!!!!! (I have no thoughts. I was never a Trek fan, but it was hugely enjoyable and I'd love to see it again. Will probably end up getting the DVD.)

Oh - and I never mentioned that whilst away last week [in Scotland, staying with s-i-l & her family] we went to the beach & Darcy totally lived up to his name, deciding that he needed a swim, but failed to remove his jeans first... (He did take off his shirt though. Still - very pretty and swoon-worthy, although what I said was : "Why did you do that, you idiot?" Thankfully it was so warm & sunny that he was half-dry by the time we went home...)

ETA: I posted Chapter 12 of My Immortal last week, in case someone missed it?

Elections!

Happy voting to all my fellow Europeans! Sully linked to election jokes doing the rounds in Iran, and I found this one particularly apt considering the current political climate here in the UK:

"Between bad and worse, we choose bad and participate in the election."

Although this one (an e-mail joke) made me laugh more:

"The Election Commission has announced in its last statement regarding the election that writing names such as monkey, traitor, fascist, silly, and [expletive] on the ballots will be considered a vote for Ahmadinejad."
