Tuesday Randomness

[eggwards]

So Jay Leno will turn over the reigns to the Tonight Show to Conan O'Brien...in five years. *sigh* Jay Leno is so boring, and I never get to see Conan because our local NBC affiliate plays three hours of daytime talk shows, some of them reruns of stuff they ran earlier, then Conan around 2am. Anyone watching Leno here probably asked "who?" last night.

If I were Conan, I'd still shop around, but he did sign a new contract that assures him the Tonight Show spot. Conan reminds me more of Letterman in his heyday, unafraid, sometimes caustic, and creating oddball bits. Letterman, who I always thought should have taken over for Johnny Carson, has become a bit tired, but still better than Leno.

In other news, lots has been said about Sex in the City's Cynthia Nixon saying "no comment" to allegations that she is in a lesbian relationship. Of course she's going to get off a little easier than if a male actor took up with another guy. Also, after being on Sex in the City, there's certainly not much that would shock people.

The biggest thing for me is the stories that say she's crossed the line to the other side. So she's getting romantic with a woman...big deal, She's suddenly lesbian. Why can't she be bisexual? Why is it that someone must always be labeled one or the other?

Oh, and Texans, I'm looking to get a group to go to the Texas Renaissance Festival. I haven't picked a date yet, but it starts this weekend and goes on weekends through November 14th. I can't offer much in the ways of lodging, but It would be fun to take a big group! Let me know what you think!

1.) Conan and Jay both have weak late-nite fu.

2) lesbianism vs. bisexuality. I can understand what you're saying but if she's chosen women instead of men then YES PLEASE say you're a lesbian. If you like both, say you're bisexual.

I just feel that the bisexual community AND the gay/lesbian community get a lot of problems when people go on the "Bi now, gay later!" program.

While I can understand the reasoning "hey, maybe my friends and family will only hate me a little if I'm half!" (pure horseshit).. it invalidates the actual orientations of others. I'd say only about 15% of people claiming to be bisexual really are.

I can't watch David. He just comes off as a creepy old guy... Kinda like that weird uncle who thinks he's funny.

Conan's better than either one of them, but I still miss Andy.

I heart you for asking the "could she be bisexual" question about Cynthia Nixon. I think time will tell. Meanwhile, YOU'RE fabulous. :-)

About the RenFair. Definitely in. Your best bet to get the bear contingent from SA's attention is to make a "planning post" here:

A Ren Fest? You can't get enough of that kilt, eh? :D

As for being labeled a "lesbian" as opposed to bisexual, it's just a matter of semantics. It's not like she's doing anything particularly bisexual when she's eating out her girlfriend, ya know. :)

I would be interested in theory, but would need to know a date in advance, as I would have to do all sorts of work schedule rearrangement in order to attend.

I think the Conan deal is great. I have never liked Leno, and thinik Conan is da bomb!

Anyone who saw Sex And The City was aware that Miranda hair was a give-away.

I will love her no matter who she brings to bed. (over 18 and human please).

This makes my life more difficult every day. I have a gay boyfriend that doesn't seem to understand and I have no idea how the family would react to such a concept. Bisexuality doesn't seem to be perceived well...
