Why have I not checked this show out before?...
by Denise Sawicki on May 4, 2010
So I happened to find disk 1.1 of Queer as Folk (American version) at the library and it is rare to see disk 1.1 of anything so I checked it out. Um, given my proclivities you can imagine I rather liked it and not just for the porn, it seems to have a good plot too. I can only express my gratitude to the Fargo Public Library for stocking this kind of "filth". Is that even normal to find such things in the public library? I thought a lot of libraries only stock educational DVDs and classics and so forth. Darrell is not watching, partly because with his OCD he thinks there could be AIDS on the DVD itself... he is not prejudiced, he is just... weird... but I love him... :)

I've found an amazing variety in my public library's inventory (PG County, MD). That's how I watched the entire Sopranos run and semi-oldies like the first seasons of The Paper Chase and Hawaii Five-0 and oldies like Mission: Impossible. And they just got Avatar so I'll finally be able to see it.

As long as Sarah Palin isn't in charge, the libraries will stock pretty much anything that is not X-rated or illegal. Yeah, I do think the smaller the town, the less likely, but... good for Fargo!
Lol on loving a weirdo... it would be completely hypocritical for me to pass any kind of judgments on that, being both a weirdo and a weirdo-lover myself. Somehow, I even find it all the more endearing when someone manages to out-weird me... because that's a rare thing indeed! ;-D

Back in VHS days, their video selection was fairly lame, but I am more and more impressed lately.

Kelly and I went to the Bradenton library a few days ago. Not many people were browsing DVDs, but not many people were browsing books, either. The computers were swamped.

Annoying
Darrell tells me that people actually care about *my* approval and they think I am rejecting them when in fact I am trying to keep away from them to protect them from my insanity. You guys are all awesome by the way... Wish I wasn't too insane to interact comfortably with anyone... Go »Ghost of an Unkissed Kiss
As though I don't look bad enough for sharing information on my lame celebrity crushes, here's a real-life one, albeit a really old one. I'd forgotten that his full name was in the movie we watched the other day and maybe hearing his name was what got me started on this nostalgic path. He's got a common name. Go »Stuff you may not realize about me :)
I don't know if people realize this, but I do talk, and I do have a sense of humor of a sort... it's just that it's only with Darrell and Darrin that these things come out! It seems my frame of reference for the world is quite a bit different than most people's. Go »Free stuff bandits
So we discovered that the limited edition "holiday" flavors of that Swiss chocolate are secretly on sale for 90% off... so we went and bought out all the gingerbread chocolate from the Target stores in Fargo and Moorhead, haha. We are so evil. Go »Jesus songs
I wonder what it is with me liking all these songs that mention Jesus. I'm a total atheist :P Actually I think it might be easier for me to like these songs that it would be for anyone who's religious and might have a troubled background with religion. I guess the name has less significance for me. Go »

I've heard good things about it, and been meaning to see it someday.
Libraries are changing rapidly. I read somewhere that nearly all people visiting the library these days either go online on the public computer or check out DVDs. They stock what people want.
