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) ( cut so that Andrew will remain unspoiled )

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.
