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.

Over the weekend we went to Mills Fleet Farm to pick up the specific present my dad wanted for his birthday. I doubt you have the Fleet Farm in the more "civilized" parts of the world but it is a bit like a Walmart with the addition of things like calf medicine, saddles, fence posts, and a huge amount of hardware, machinery, building supplies, etc. I mostly stick to the more Walmart-like areas of the store, except for that one time when I built a fence :).

Well yeah... I sewed a cape.. I am rather impressed with myself, though if you could see it up close you would see what a sloppy job I did. Go »Sewing Project?
So... we are into this goofy show "The Prisoner" lately and decided we want to go as people from that show for Halloween. That is, assuming anyone invites us to a party of any kind. 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.
