here is an excellent article on how gay christians feel (and other gay people) felt on the support chick-fil-a day: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/comingoutchristian/2012/08/devastated-by-your-joy/

I think I didn't really understand a lot of it until I saw an episode of Borgia* I finally understood the whole Capulet and Montague thing, as a kid, the idea of feuds where families killed each other did not really make much sense. *(not The Borgias, but the European show which had even more nudity and violence but was just horrible)

My fiance really enjoys Game of Thrones. She hates all the SciFi stuff and usually makes fun of it.

In Chicago every new pub has an & in the name. It's so bad I think I'm going to open a gastro pub called & & @, though @ & & is kinda punny. I don't get the anti dog screed, outdoor eating is full of germs and exhaust and god knows what animals crawl on the tables at night to begin with. The dogs are hardly the problem.

I was so excited they played it. I thought the *new* episode was this week, and I ran to Blockbuster to try to find last year's episode and they don't even have a single dvd of BBT! (and CBS doesn't put them online and Comcast doens't have old ones). So now I have it recorded and locked from deletion on my dvr and going to make my girlfriend watch it before we watch the new episode :) Now I can't wait.

It's funny I was playing COD Modern Warfare 2 and some of the savepoints are right next to a guy with a gun, I would load and get immediately blasted. It would happen if I moved forward a little too far and triggered the savepoint before killing the bad guy, then later died and when I spawned - Blammo!. That happened a few times,
