Georgia considers ban on gay foster parenting

It's a couple of days after the news broke about Malcolm's suicide, and I'm still having trouble understanding what he did. I now know more about the situation, and my emotions have shifted somewhat since rockgoddes filled me in. I'm still angry at him, but now for a different reason, and I don't know how to get past those feelings (or even if I should try, or just let the emotions play themselves out naturally). There must have been reasons, but I'm sure we'll never know what they were. Any explanations now can only come from biased sources.

I hope that next Saturday's gathering will serve to help get some of these feelings out of my system.

On a happier note... I've been ordered not to post about what happened Friday night after the Toronto Trek concom pubnight. So I won't. Even though I'm pretty sure the person who issued the command doesn't read my LJ... and it's not as though anything happened that he might not want others to hear about. (He's embarrassed about being an amazing singer, maybe?) Whatever.

I watched the Emmys tonight. I was mildly disappointed that Shatner only performed the opening narration of the Trek theme; I was half hoping that he would sing Gene Roddenberry's (atrocious) lyrics. And maybe it was just me, but the opera singer (mezzo soprano, IIRC) who performed the vocal seemed a little flat. (In the off-key sense of the word "flat", you dirty so-and-sos... :P) I was amused when they showed a close-up of Shatner when Donald Trump and Megan Mulally were announced as the winners of the "Emmy Idol" competition. He looked like he was saying, "How could they have not voted for me? I'm the SHAT!" :)

I was pleased to see that they acknowledged James Doohan during the "In Memoriam" portion of the programme, and also pleased that he got one of the loudest rounds of applause.

Boston's nice. I have friends there.

There's also Toronto... ;)

Mike really wants to stay in the South as much as possible. I wouldn't mind living in Toronto or Canada in general, but I think Baltimore and Boston may be as far north as I could drag Mike.

Is it because he has family in the south, or has he been misinformed and thinks that we're buried under six feet of snow year-round? :P

[evil-admiral.livejournal.com]

Yeah, its because the majority of his family is in Florida that he wants to stay down here. Now while I would like to stay near my family (they arte all either around Atlanta or in Alabama), I wouldn't exactly be opposed to getting far away from them.
