| STAR TREK (2009) |
[May. 9th, 2009|12:29 am] |

Star Trek is a fantastic film. Exciting, intriguing, even moving at times - I really felt for the characters in an early scene, you'll know the one when you see it. I loved the references to the show we know - and they're many - but I'm excited to see how they'll take this version forward in its own direction. |

Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow. |

Entertainment Weekly released a list of the top movies of the last 25 years.

2. Italicize the ones you love, and will watch over and over.
3. Strikethrough the ones you will never watch or sincerely wish you'd never watched in the first place.

[Jul. 1st, 2008|07:28 am] |
"The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well let's see."
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Put a star next to things you are ashamed to have read.
5) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

| Gay Rights |
[Apr. 30th, 2008|12:09 pm] |
seankreynolds, from whom I suppose I'm stealing all my memes now, infected me with this one:
Post with the subject "Gay Rights" if you believe in gay rights.
I'm a heterosexual man married to a woman. The fact that I happen to be attracted to someone not of my own gender shouldn't privilege me above people who are attracted to those sharing their gender, and yet it does. Because I fell in love with a woman, we could get married. Why should it be different for a man who falls in love with a man, or a woman who falls in love with a woman?
It shouldn't be different. Nor should it be different for gay couples who want to adopt children, designate each other as the beneficiary of their medical or life insurance plans, or any of the other privileges large and small enjoyed by straight couples.
There is no reason why our society should deny non-straight couples these privileges - because they're not privileges, they're rights which belong to any consenting adult. They're only straight privileges because we currently deny gay people these rights, and that must change. |

This morning, I heard "Ode to Billie Joe" by Bobbie Gentry for the first time.
I absolutely love discovering new favourite things. |
