I'm surprised that I haven't seen anyone on my reading list mention being amused by theme of the BC tourism ad-campaign being run during the Olympics. "Super, Natural British Columbia." Cracks me up every time I see it. I wonder if the cast and crew of Supernatural do, too?

So as a treat for myself after cleaning house tonight, I'm watching Getting Married in Buffalo Jump, (and my GODDESS Paul is gorgeous in that! Plus, you know, NEKKID PAUL ASS!) and there's a scene where Alex and Sophie are strolling along (on their way to the NEKKID SWIMMING HOLE!) and Alex is talking about what he did after he left town when he was 16. He says: "The first thing after I left was I worked at LaDuke. Then I got to thinking, 'What the hell are you doing?'"

He says that as if everyone will know what he's talking about. However, as an ignorant American, I want to know what/where LaDuke is, and what would he have been doing there for six years before he figured out he needed to finish HS?

Anyone? Bueller?

And also, may I wish a happy belated birthday to rattlecatcher, and thisisbone and not-belated birthday to the_star_fish, and also many happy returns to anyone I missed, plus, hey, Happy Solstice!!!

In honor of Inauguration Day, on behalf of myself and a goodly percentage of my fellow Americans, I hereby apologize to all of my international friends in advance for the next 4 years. :-P

(And I hope we Americans still have some rights left at the end of that period.)

In other, more positive news, the Canadian military has okayed gay weddings.

OTTAWA -- Gay and lesbian army couples can now get married on military bases. The Canadian Forces has quietly drafted a policy calling for military chaplains to formally bless same-sex weddings. Guidelines - considered "interim" until the federal government passes a law redefining marriage - outline the process for pre-nuptial counselling and using the on-base chapel for same-sex ceremonies.
