    Thanksgiving Dinner
    It was a quiet one. Not the usual craziness most of you experience. I made the pumpkin and pecan pie a day in advance. Despite their overwhelming desire to help I managed to shoo the cats away. Can't really blame them cause it is their first Thanksgiving. On the day of I stayed out of the kitchen and my Dad's way. After making Thanksgiving dinner last year I just wanted to watch the master at work. I watched a House marathon and occasionally chatted with my Dad. Elly popped into the living room occasionally and joined us for little bit. She was pretty excited saying this was pretty much the first Thanksgiving she's looked forward to with family. We had Turkey(not too dry as my Dad had feared), Dressing patties(we're not really stuffing people), Mashed potatoes(cause neither Elly or I like sweet potatoes), Sweet Potatoes(for the parentals), Green been casserole(my Dad thoughtfully made a batch of broccoli for Elly), and of course homemade cranberry sauce(I can't stand the gelatinous stuff that comes in a can). That was all finished off with pie. Elly has requested that I make more pies after these are gone. In return she'll cook more meals. I guess that's a fair trade off. Elly and I had planned to make an appearance at the bar but I fell asleep on the couch watching Katy Griffin do stand up comedy and woke up again somewhere around 3AM. Today I intend to avoid going out like the plague. I am not a big fan of black Friday even if I had the money to partake in the deals. I don't get paid til mid December and my next purchase is a ring. Well that's all for now.

    Kitten update
    Well the kitties are getting so big. There only ten months old and look almost 3/4 full grown. It's fun to watch them try to fit into small spaces like they used to and realize they can't now. We've discovered (unintentionally) that Simon likes cheese. Neither of them care for vegetables and both of them are highly intrigued by cranberry juice but haven't been allowed to taste it yet. They also love mango ice cream cause they harass my Dad while he's eating his nightly bowl. He's been allowing them to lick the bowl when he's done. Nicky is larger then Simon but I also suspect that he's older by a few minutes. Nicky is a bit more comfortable and social these days but still not to the degree that Simon is. Early one morning Simon headbutted in his efforts to wake me up to pet him and I responded by shoving him off the bed. Sleep is precious commodity to me. Nicky's fur is thicker and softer than Simon's but it also means he sheds more. A black light is not my friends these days. We had scare earlier this month when Simon got out. We had a few sightings of him. He seemed to stay close to home however and on the evening of the third day I managed to coax him close enough to me to grab him. Elly has been referring to Simon as Bubby. A combo of baby and buddy. She also calls us Mama E and Mama M. My Mother overheard her one days and somehow jumped from that to the possibility of Elly and I adopting a child someday. Not totally outside the realm of possibility but we'd need our own place and Elly would need to be done with school and have a well paying job. We'll also be in early 40's by then so I'm not holding my breath.
    Well I finally heard from the SSA and they have determined that I am indeed disabled. I will be getting SSDI but not SSI. Apparently if my SSDI amount exceeds the SSI amount you don't get SSI. I get my first SSDI payment somewhere around December 16th so it will be a Merry Xmas after all. I will also be getting a lump sum from SSI to cover me from the date I applied through November. About 2 thousand dollars. I wish Elly's surgery wasn't so expensive cause 2 thousand would be just a drop in the bucket. However I have plans for that money anyway. Some of you may be aware of my plans. Not going to share them here right now but I promise you that when I am able to put my plans into action you will know. That's all to report for now.

    Another Kitty update!
    The kittens have grown so much! Not even a year old but almost full grown. Nicky is still standoffish with me and Elly. Simon wakes us up numerous times at night if we leave the bedroom door open demanding to be petted. He is definitely part Siamese. He's taken to draping himself over body parts and going to sleep if we ignore him at night. He is our favorite and our baby boy. I was the obnoxious proud parent the other night by showing off the new background on my iPhone. Simon on top of the scratching post platform with his front legs hanging off. A rather common pose for him. Nicky like the TV show Mythbusters and was doing his best to catch objects on the screen last time we watched it. Got a laser pointer today cause Elly wanted one to play with the kitties. I think she was having more fun with it than they were! Hee Hee!

    For Free!
    I have a kid sized round table with two chairs I'm looking to giveaway to a good home. It's a great table for kids art and craft projects or even large tea parties. If anyone here has kids, is having kids, or knows someone who has children and might be interested in the table please let me know. I spent several happy hours of my childhood with this table in my room but since it looks like children are not in my future I have no reason to hold on to it and I'd really hate to junk it while is still in such good shape. I really need to get it out of storage to make room for other items. Please help!

    Nigerian scams
    Many of you know about the Nigerian email scams where someone sends you and email claiming that they need your help. Some ask you to pose as next of kin to of some who are deceased. Other are sent by someone claiming to be a Nigerian Princess who for some reason or other needs to send the money to the US. I even got one once from someone posing as a terminally ill woman who wanted to send her money to me after her death so I could donate it all to the church. I'm sure they are many more. Most of these I delete without reading but a few I can't resist reading for shits and giggles. However today I received one that pissed me off. I received one from someone claiming to be a US military officer in Iraq. He claimed that the US has possession of Saddam Husseins's fortune. Unfortunately he fears that with Obama pulling troops out the money might fall into the hands of the insurgents. He claimed the military wanted to ship the money stateside as military cargo with diplomatic immunity protection and a bunch of stuff that I just skimmed. In exchange I would be awarded a substantial sum of the money. Of course I recognized the scam for what it was and deleted it. However after having time to think about it grew angry. How dare someone use they men and women who risk their lives day in and day out tp perpetrate a scam! I may think we got involved in Iraq for the wrong reasons not to mention illegally but I respect those who serve there and mourn those who have lost their lives and the families. Using US soldiers to perpetrate a scam is like same sex marriage opponents using children to push their agenda forward. It's shameful!

    Airport hell and lonlieness
    Well I took Elly to the airport this morning. Security checkpoints are a lot closer to the check in counter than I remember. Also they apparently have multiple checkpoints. The sign outside said that they were at Orange level whatever that means. Also Continental Airlines apparently charges you for checking your bags if you are flying Economy class. They tried to charge Elly forty bucks for two bags until she realized she could claim one as a carry on. So they only charged her 15. Then I had to pay three bucks to get out of the parking lot after being there less than an hour. I miss her already. It's so quiet here and our bed is so big. She going to be gone for ten loooong days and nights. I do have a mountain of laundry to get done and if I can find someone to help me I want to do something with my storage space. I'd like to get a few things out and maybe rearrange things a bit. I'd also to at least get the old twin mattress out of the hallway and into the storage unit but need a truck for that. However other than those few tasks I am completely free. If anyone wants to get together and do something please give me a call. Nothing too expensive though. I do have some cash available but my disability checks as of late have been coming at odd times and in odd amounts. The lowest was 17 and the high was something like 120. I'm supposed to get 100 every two weeks. Guess that EDD for ya. Every time they send me a check now I have to confirm that yes I'm still disabled and sign and date. I'm running low on stamps. At least Social Security sent me a no postage needed within the US envelope. Well they should have all the necessary info to make a decision now. So all I have to do now is sit back and wait and see if they deny me or not. I expect them to deny me at first since I'm not missing any limbs. Still I intend to appeal and reapply as many times as necessary until they accept me.

    Maggie can haz iPhone!
    Okay kids as I told you my cell phone was out of commission. Well yesterday Elly got herself a shiny new 3Gs. So I have inherited her iPhone. Now my phone number is the same as always but transferring my contact numbers from the old sim card didn't work like it was supposed to. So if you call or text me don't be offended if I ask who you are. I just want to know so I can add you onto my contact list.

    Life is Good!
    First of all if you've been trying to contact me on the phone I am NOT ignoring you.  In the process if reorganizing our room to fit in our new bed my charger disappeared and none of the stores I've been to seem to carry the replacement one I need.  I also don't want to upgrade at this point cause Elly has decided she wants a 3G and will give me her old iPhone but that will have to wait until next month. 
    We saw a matinee of Wicked on my birthday and it was WONDERFUL!  The only problem was that the actress who played Glinda seemed off.  We think she must have just been having an off day.  The stand by actress was playing Elphaba was amazing. Left me speechless when she did Defying Gravity except for one word.  "WOW!" Moved Elly to tears.  She was as good as Idina Mendzel, possibly better.  Patty Duke was in the cast too and great fun to watch.  Fiyero was perfectly cast and adorable.  After the show we picked up a collector's program, a CD and a ball cap for me.  Ever since everyone who sees it has been asking me how the show was.
    Later that evening we pickied up some food on the way home and lingered there for a bit before packing up a few things and headed to the bar.  This year I decided to forgo the Harley Davidson cake in favor of Yoda.  Had too many drinks. Tried to do the Denny's thing but just couldn't do it so we canceled our orders and headed home. I headed straight to the bedroom and after a little dificulty removing my tie crawled in to bed and fell asleep.  Of course Elly couldn't let it go at that and proceed to deposit two kittens next to me on the bed who proceeded to crawl all over me seeking cuddles despite me repeated pushing them away.  Elly had an appointment this afternoon to which my Dad graciously accompanied her while I still languished in bed with my hangover.  Managed to rise around 4:00 and Elly offered to make Mashed potatoes and warm up fried chicken.  We had to go to Safeway where me we not only got the makins for mashed poatoes but Elly decided to make gravy and Broccoli as well.  I also picked up some sandwich stuff for my parents and flirted a bit with the very cute girl at the bakery whom Elly had said checked her out.  She gave me a free cookie.  If I was braver and cleverer I would have asked her out but I may have to just be content with drooling over her from afar.  Sigh! Oh and by the way Even though the mashed potatoes were instant, coupled with the gravy they were magnificent!

    It's that time again!
    My birthday is coming up on July 12th.  Fortunately this year my birthday falls on a Sunday.  I invite all my friends to join me in celebrating with me at King Of Clubs.  We will also be having an early Bastille Day celebration. Mark from New York will be there.  Also there will be cake. I'm not going to reveal the theme but I will tel you it's not a Harley Davidson cake this year.  As always it's a kareoke night.  Elly and I will be in the city earlier in the day cause one of my birthday gifts are tickets to Wicked so I can't say for sure when we will get there. No gifts are required but if you would like to buy me a drink I won't turn it down.  We are trying to get Elly her license so she can drive me that evening.  Hope to see you all there.  Bring your friends too!

    Kitten update
    Well Nicky and Simon are doing well.  They've grown a lot!  They are no longer little balls of fluff with over sized feet but they are still chock full of kitten like energy. Currently they are racing around the kitchen and living room pouncing on each other and wrestling.  They woke me up! I'm still bunking on the couch cause Elly and I still haven't got a bed big enough for the two of us,  Besides she's battling a bad bit of insomnia right now anyway. Anyway my Dad and I were watching the kittens yesterday and talking about how much they've grown,  He said they've definitely gotten longer.  I told better longer than wider.  They're up to a can a day of their wet food as opposed to the half can plus the crunchies which are always available.  My Dad was grumping about how expensive it is to feed them when I pointed out to him that the rent Elly is paying will more than cover thier food.  When I first posted about these guys I said that Nicky seemed to be the leader.  Not so much anymore. Simon is definately the bolder of the two.  When they get up on counters Nicky well get off as soon as we protest but most of the time we have to lift Simon off. Simon is also friendlier than Nicky. Nicky is quite standoffish and will shy away if you try to pet him or walk near him. They only person who's lap he willingly goes to of his own accord is my Dad.  He obviously knows who feeds him.  He does however like to go into the bathroom with my Mother. He also likes tea. I've caught him with his head stuffed in a mug drinking up the leftovers of my Dad's morning tea more than once.  Simon has sniffed it bit doesn't like it much.  If you can catch Nicky when he's half asleep he responds positivelt to being stroked.  He prefers belly rubs but if Simon is around don't expect the fun too long cause he gets jealous and will go bite Nicky on the neck.   Simon is definately the more vocal and needy of the two.  If you don't pet him quickly enough he will meow at you and nudge you. Of course no matter how quickly you do it it's never quick enough for him. Plus if you ignore him when he wants attention he likes to nip. Last night he woke me up wanting attention.  I atempted to ignore him and go back to sleep and he nipped me on the nose.  Needless to say at that point I became fully awake and alert.  They like bread. So much so that if anyone is foolish enough to leave a sandwich unattended you may come back to find the crusts missing.  They have also attempted semisucessfully to break into bread bags left on the table.  Curiously enough they left the unwrapped beef jerky alone.  Simon is definately the favorite among Elly and myself.  My Dad doesn't have a favorite cause they both spend most of thier down time on his bed.  I don't think my Mom has decided cause she's going through one of her months long stints in her room and they only venture in occassionally.  Well Simon is giving me his I want attention look so I better go before I get nipped again.

    Kittie update 1
    Well the kittens are still mostly hanging out in my Dad's room but at least one of them used the litter box.  One them also apparently peed on the cat bed though.  Simon is eating now.  Got Simon to allow me to pet him and lift him up onto the chair or bed while doing so and he seems to enjoy it.  Nicky not so much. I don't think Nicky objects to be petted but he just isn't content to sit idly while being stroked.  He want's to be on the go constantly exploring.  He was venturing out of my Dad's room repeatedly this evening to explore the kitchen and the bathroom.  We're going to have to watch him around the front door.  I had to chase him off the kitchen table twice and he was fascinated briefly by the TV. He doesn't have too much of an attention span though.  Simon ventured out a bit but not as much as Nicky.  I think Simon is going to be a lap cat once he gets used to us.  Simon also let Elly pet him and pick him up which is good since she will be a constant presence here.  She keeps attempting to speak to them in cat which always results in a WTF look from them.  They are adorable and love to pounce on each others tails and wrestle.  At one point Nicky kept batting at Simon so Simon made it look like he was moving away but once Nicky got distracted Simon snuck up behind him and tackled him.  Atta boy! Simon likes to chew on fingers.  He doesn't bite down hard but I'm trying to avoid allowing him to do so he doesn't develop bad habits.  Simon is now taking the initiative more often and has become less of a follower and is developing his own identity.  More to follow in the future.

    I'm sorry if I'm overloading people on kitten sweetness.  I like a proud parent. I'm sure there will be more to come as well.

    Update on kittens!
    I got Simon to let me touch him and pick him up!  He's the shyest of the two. I was trying to get some pictures of the kittens who have laid claim to the box of newspapers underneath my Dad's desk.  So by lying across the foot of my Dad's bed I had a pretty decent view. Simon was chasing a dust mote of some sort or another and getting pretty close to me so I thought he was Nicky at first cause Simon wouldn't let any of us near him all day.  As I was taking pics Simon started playing with the camera strap.  Whi;e he was doing that I slowly let a hand dangle down near him and started wiggling my fingers.  He went for them and while he batted at them I was able to stroke him a bit.  He started purring and I brought him up onto the bed with me.  I tried to carry him into the kitchen to his food bowl since he hadn't eaten since breakfast.  His brother Nicky unfortunately had eaten the canned food we put out for the both of them(the little oinker) but we still have dry food and water that's supposed to be kept out all the time.  Like I said I tried carrying Simon but he freaked at the sight of Elly and my Mom so I had to let him go.  Elly had been weirding them out all evening by meowing at them.

    We Haz Kittens!
    Well my parents went to humane society today to interview with the adoption lady about getting the two kittens we saw yesterday.  Well there were actually three we saw but one was already spoken for.  The three were all boys.  They had a sister but she had been adopted already.  They are two months, two weeks old and just out out of foster care.  Already neutered, know how to use a litter box and a scratching post.  All the kittens were named Fred,George, Ron, and Ginny after the Weasley children cause they are orange and white. Well actually yellow but it looks orange to me.  We got Fred and Ron but they've been renamed Nicky and Simon.  My Mom felt bad leaving George behind because he cried when we put his brothers in the carrier.  Especially since George is his twin. However they were going to be seperated anyway and George is going to a good home later today.  Nicy is definately the braver of the two while Simon is a litle timid but he dutifully follows his brother where ever he goes or if they get seperated he cries until Nicky goes to find him.  They don't fully trust us yet but I've been able to pick Nicky up once and he didn't freak later when I lifted him off of the counter where he's not supposed to be.  Simon tends to run and hide under one of the beds when approached but he'll eventually follow his brother's lead.  They are comfortable enough to play with each other though.  They been running all over the place.  Chasing each other, wrestling, pouncing on each. They've already discovered the kitty condo and are obviously aware that it is thiers.  We've even been able to entice them to play with a feather wand but we need to get a new one cause Nicky managed to pull off part of the feather.  Nicky is defintely a climber.  He kept trying to climb out of their play enclosure at the humane society.  Kept getting quite close too.  They are adorable.  They look very similiar except for the fact the Simon has a bit of white on his front paws, what look like white socks on his back feet and a patch of white on his chest.  Nicky has a bit of white on his belly but he's mostly orange and white striped.  They're just two little delightful balls of fluff to me.  Squeeeeee!

    No Solace for this 007 fan.
    Ok so I just watched Quantum of Solace.  I had anxiously awaited this film because I throughly enjoyed Casino Royale.  It started out ok. Like any other Bond film but went downhill from there.  Instead of the wisecracking, debonair secret agent we;ve grown to love we've got a moody, rebellious, hell  bent on revenge secret angent on our hands.  It just wasn't fun.  The bad guys plot for world domination was kinda stupid too.  I won't spoil it here for those of you who have seen the film but when it was reavealed I was like WTF!  Also there are several characters who spoke Spanish in the film.  The subtitles are tiny, hard to read and very fast. Maybe it;s just we but does anybody else miss Q and his gadgets?  I know the man who played Q is dead but he introduced his replacement R and since these movies are essentially prequels to the bond franchise we could have a different actor playing a younger Q.

    Not what I expected (part one)
    Ok well I guess it all started on Wednesday.  Elly is on Spring Break so we decided to spend the day together.  Unfortunately my depression and anxiety were spiking so it wasn't the best of days.  We went to Stanford and took part in the breathing study.  Elly also picked up a few items at Fry's.  We tried going to the DMV so Elly could get her DL but it was ridiculously crowded.  More crowded than I've ever seen it. Then onto DeAnza so Elly could check on her grades, pick up books for next quarter, and pay any unpaid fees.  Then we stopped by Legends at Vallco and browsed.  We ended up buying dice for D&D and Elly got a couple of posters.  We then walked the mall a bit stopping in at a few eyeglasses places to check prices and at the perfumorium.  Elly got some perfume, Hugo Blue and I got a tiny little bottle of Polo Double Black mostly cause when Elly smelled it her knees buckled. I also chose it cause Cara suggested it as an evening scent to complement my Polo Black.  Afterwards we then stopped by Guaranty bank to open an account for Elly cause she needs to starts saving up for her surgery.  We also ended up opening an account for myself cause I don't currently have one.  If anyone is looking for a new bank they will automatically give you 25 bucks to get started.  Also if you mention my name I get 25 dollars added to my account. Elly and I have agreed that if anyone does so we'll split the proceeds 50 50. Then Elly and I went back to her place and she took a nap.  I tried to sleep but sleep was kinda  elusive so I messed around on my laptop until it was time for Elly to get ready for her date.  I dropped Elly off for her date and continued on to Chell and Novim's place where we played Apples to Apples (my favorite game)  and played with thier new kittens.  Then home and sleep.

    It's weird!
    As most of you know I identify as a lesbian. However in the last couple of weeks I've realized that I might be more along the lines of bisexual. Don't get me wrong I still think women are the sexiest creatures on the planet but there are a couple of select guys that kinda do it for me too. I've started playing D & D with Elly and her no room mates. One of the D & D players is this very cute guy named Josh. He's also funny, and really smart. Plus there something about him that is just so attractive. He's the first guy I've met in a long time that I can see myself being romantically and even possibly sexually intimate with. Friends have talked to him and he's intrigued but says he isn't sure yet.

    Busy Weekend
    Well Friday it was a trip over to Oakridge for dinner at BJ's and then onto see Watchmen for Al's birthday. Dinner was good. I know BJ's serves massive stuffed potatoes but this thing was positively gargantuan. Watchmen was really but but now I want to read the graphic novel. Karen accompanied me but I think I'm going to have to give up on her. She just isn't sending me any signals that she wants to be more than friends and even in that department she's somewhat standoffish. She thinks the new Terminator looks scary! I was like WTF! It looks like fun! Of saw a preview for the new Star Trek movie. That looks cooler than it sounds! Also what looks to be an X Men prequel which doesn't look too good but I may have to go see it simply cause it has Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine again. They had to cast a newer younger actor as Cyclops because in this movie he's a high school student.
    Saturday night I was supposed to go out with Cara. The original plans was for me to pick her up so she could imbibe excessive amounts of alcohol at The Cheesecake Factory before heading over to The Stanford to take in a double feature. She's trying to drown her sorrows after being dumped. She says she's doing better but I can see that "What did I do wrong?", "What's wrong with me?", etc. mentality setting in. Wish I could do more for her but my only answer to her is "You're grieving. It just takes time." I know from experience that it's not something she really wants to hear but I can't give her what she wants to hear. That would have to come from him and well that's extremely unlikely. Well we actually ended up going to the Swing Sting Ball in San Mateo. Apparently a band called Lee Press On and the Nails was performing. A band that she and her sister were quite fond of. Think gothic swing band. Sadly we were to late for some of the numbers Cara really wanted to hear. Somebody neglected to tell me until the last minute that the recommended dress was 20's 30's wear. I spent 15 minutes trying to did out my pinstripe suit only to realize that not only do the pants still not fit but that my navy tie is a completely different shade of navy other than the suit. So I ended up with a pair of black dress slacks that I used to wear when working at Challenger. They're kinda loose like zoot suit slacks. I matched that with a white button down shirt and black silk tie. It was the best I could do. Unfortunately everything required ironing so I was about fifteen minutes late picking her up. In my defense she was still getting dress when I arrived so I sat and had a nice chat with her parents while waiting. I don't know why she apologized for me having to do that. They're nice people. She did admit that they have mellowed a lot over the years. We left about 8:30 and then had to make quick trip back inside for the address so we'd have something to give the portable GPS unit. And we were off. Ended up parking about for blocks away. While trying to be a gentle and walking on the outside so she wouldn't have to negotiate the curb in her really nice shoes I ending up stepping off the curb myself and going down hard. Scraped a couple layers of skin off both knees, my left elbow, and right wrist. I actually drew blood on my elbow and wrist. My wrist actually earned me a free drink from one of the people working the event after he patched me up. I'm amazed I didn't sprain my ankle. Guess the hiking boots are good for something. However my muscles that were jarred and tensed in the fall started screaming at me last night so I'm in a fair amount of pain not to mention the scraped and bruised areas are quite tender and hurt whenever I...well to be honest whenever I move. At the ball I ran into Nate, Robin, and June, plus a friend of Tim Eh's named whom I'm ashamed to say I didn't recognize. Cara imbibed freely but not so much that she became the flirt she often is when drunk. Of course she's still upset over the jerk so that could put a damper on anyone's flirt. After the ball we went with Robin to a local bar but then discovered that Cara had left her ID in my car so Robin was drove us back to the car which took longer than expected cause I'd forgotten to specifically take note of where I'd parked. So we drove in the vicinity while I clicked the remote hoping to spy the car by the flashing lights. Eventually that tactic worked and we headed back to the bar. Cara and me in my car and Robin and June with Will in Robin's car. Nate had elected to walk. When we got there Cara and I were discouraged. We could hear the very loud band all the way down the street playing a frighteningly bad cover of Wild Thing. Luckily the bouncers refusal to allow June to bring Will into the bar gave us a reason to bow out and we expressed out regrets and bade good night. We walked back to the car with June and Will while she somewhat excitedly detailed her plan to report the bar for not allowing Will in. Then citing the fact that I was freezing, (cause I was) I ushered Cara back into the car and dropped her home and headed home with a quick stop to gas up the car.
    Sunday I woke up to a call from Elly wondering where I was cause D & D was scheduled to start within the next half hour. I'd forgotten that my cell doesn't reset automatically like my last one did and that I'd turned of the alarm function. I got and dressed while changing my band aids and wincing in pain every time I had to move one of my injured limbs or clothing pressed up against the wounds. Even so I made it to the D & D game before the GM. I had fun even if I was a little lost. After wards I hung out at Elly's for a while while her ???? Rob helped me swap out some of the spells Elly had picked for my character for some more active and helpful to the group spells. I'm a type of elf and a bard to boot. Squeeeee! Later that evening Elly and I traveled to KOC. There was some type of reception but I was mainly there to see Paul. Took a short break to take Elly home cause she was in a bad place but think she has sort of sorted things out since then. Made it back to the bar before Paul arrived. I didn't stay as long as I planned cause my muscles really started to hurt. Stayed long enough to sing Summer Nights with Paul which reminded me why I've never sung the girl part in the past. Next time I need to stick with the guy part or pick an entirely different song altogether. I left after to watch a little TV and go to bed. Watched the final episode of The L Word. Kinda lame. Especially the whole slow motion farewell bit at the end. Queer As Folk had a better ending. Apparently L Word is going to continue for a bit in weekly webisodes until the spin off airs. The spin off sounds kinda lame. Kinda like a lesbians behind bars kinda thing starring Leisha Hailey. Not the one I would have picked as the murderer. I mean she had motive (so did every other character) but I don't remember her having opportunity. Maybe I need to watch the episode again. Not much else to report.
