Happy Easter HH, and thanks for another delicious chocolate egg wrapped in a tinfoil television antenna.
I wouldn't/couldn't watch "The Bachelor" if I was strapped to a chair with a loaded gun to my temple, no matter how many times Heather's snarky summations make me snort with laughter. I'm so glad she's paid to watch some of this crap so I don't ever have to.
However, you nearly sold me on "Friday Night Lights" -- if only the show was about something sensible, like BASKETBALL! Please tell me FNL is even half as good as "The White Shadow," which I recall with such fondness from my childhood. Now THAT was a show with gritty drama and themes plucked from real life: inner-city high school struggles, setting the pick and roll, girl troubles, and proper follow through on jump shots. One guy could actually dunk! Plus there was another amusing fellow who had a large afro. Or maybe I'm thinking of "Room 222." I was pretty little when that one aired. But I'm pretty sure they don't make shows like that anymore.
Hmm. I don't think anybody asked any gay men anything. I'm a gay male, my partner is a gay male. Therefore, you think we are like-minded? Like-minded? Us? HA! Maybe men are from Venus and women from Mars, or vice versa, but my lover is from Mercury and I'm from Saturn.
It's not about minds, Heather, it's about souls, and 'soul-mate' does not mean that two souls are alike (like-souled?) either. People in your life who are like-minded become friends, platonic friends, not lovers, not soul-mates.
Stop watching so much TV!
