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.

TV crushes
I need to apologize for the rather fangirlish reference in my last goo. I was having a little crush on Marcus Cole when I made the goo... that is my justification. Go »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 »Mystery Halloween costume
This might look like two guys in ugly clothes, but in reality it is a very nerdy Halloween costume. Can anyone figure it out? Edit: Steve West figured it out, answer is in the comments. Go »Torchwood
OK, I've read the reviews saying Torchwood is a terrible show that is nothing but gratuitous sex and violence but I gotta say I kind of disagree and kind of like it. Thanks to our public library for stocking such a non-educational program :P. Buffy fans particularly seem to despise this program but what the heck, I like both... Go »Haircuts and dandelions
So I cut off all my hair this weekend, about 16 inches of it. Now it is above chin length. I like it better this way but can't be bothered to get it cut more than once a year (I think I went 2 years this time). 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.
