It's official

America's got a brand new President.


And I do think it's a historic day.
Now I'm from a country with a Bush-loving Primeminister *ew* (and I can't ever rap my head around who in the hell voted for him at the last election - neither of them actually), and I hope this will inspire my countrymen to vote more like the Americans next time. We need the change as well!
On a sidenote: Obama has not been to keen on meeting/talking to our Primeminister, and he (our Primeminister) is getting a bit desperate. Maybe if he hadn't been so obsessed with being Bush's friend he might have had a better chance. Geez. That'll teach him!
Anyway. Here's to the future:

This weeks topics on The Beaver Bunch:

Here you go:

Alright Beavers time to answer questions on business and pleasure...

- Are you "out" at work? Why or why not? And do you think that it's important to be "out" to your co-workers, or does it complicate things?

- What are you views on lesbian sex and the ability to lose your virginity in a lesbian relationship?

- With the way the media and society have over-sexualized women, how do you know you really find women attractive...other than testing it out?


Go watch.

Memory Monday.

With a few not so forgotten childhood movies/series and some almost forgotten.

Never Ending Story:
I know I have mentioned this movie before.
Actually I thought it was a pretty dramatic and emotional movie. I felt so sad when Artax (the horse) was drawn into the Swamps of Sadness (the mud). Mostly because it was Atreyu’s friend, not because it was a horse. I never was into horses growing up. I wanted a monkey in stead ;o)
First time I saw the movie, I couldn’t tell if Atreyu was a boy or a girl (I was equally confused the first time I saw Karate Kid – boy or girl?). I related to Bastian growing up.
Wikipedia.



Sound Of Music:
I just love musicals.
For a long time we had this family tradition (during my childhood). Dec. 23rd we decorated the Christmas tree and watch Sound of Music. Good times.
I both wanted Maria and to be Maria – not because she wore beautiful clothes(?!?) or fell in love with Christopher Plummer. I just really liked her singing and her looks/behavior. (And I still love to watch Julie Andrews in any movie (including Mary Poppins and Princess Diaries I and II), although I have to admit… It’s so long time ago I watched Victor/Victoria I can’t even remember what it’s about. Note to self: RENT IT)



Labyrinth:
With David Bowie and Jennifer Connolly – another movie I previous mentioned on this blog, so I won’t get into details on this. I just wanted to bring it up because during my search for movies I used to love, I couldn’t quite find the next movie. Somehow I had gotten Jennifer Connolly and Mia Sara mixed up. Go figure.



Legend:
I didn’t care much for Tom Cruise (even then), but I loved the unicorn and Mia Sara.
I don’t remember much of this movie. I remember Oona and Gump, and of course the Dark Lord, and that Tom Cruise (Jack) had to save (Lili) Mia Sara so that he could marry her (why oh why?), and I remember the dark and scary place where the Dark Lord kept Lili prisoner.
Maybe another to rent?




North and South ( Book I, II, III):
I have always been interested in history and I know that some of what’s portrayed in this series most likely isn’t accurate history, but I still loved it. Maybe it had something to do with the dresses. Now, maybe they didn’t show much of the entire body but what they did show… I mean the focus was indeed on the…erhm…front of the women. Cleavage everywhere.
There were a lot of women in the series, but I will just mention 3 of them.

First: Lesley-Anne Down. The woman of Patrick Swayze’s dreams (I liked her as well. And I was cheering for Orry Main instead of her not-so-nice-douchbag-of-a-husband)



Second: Wendy Kilbourne. She was the woman of my dreams (I wish I had taken this trip down Memory Lane before posting the Hot Blondes-thing – Hot Blonde!). She was cute, loving, believable, strong, amazing and had the most wonderful Irish accent (I have this thing for Irish and/or British accents in case you didn’t know already). I’m not able to determine whether or not it was a real accent but it sounded so cute.
She also starred in Midnight caller (“Good night America, wherever you are”) another of my favorites (especially after Wendy Kilbourne joined).




Third: Kirstie Alley is, well Kirstie Alley. What I remember most about her in the series is her piercing blue eyes. Those were the most amazing eyes I’ve ever seen.
I still like Kirstie Alley. I think she’s a funny lady. I don’t care if she “goes Oprah” with her weight.



And btw. I am so not done yet.
Memory Monday will return....

Random Saturday Post.

So I know this is stupid. Or weird. Or even both ;o)
But while I was wasting time (on YouTube where else...) I found this.
And now I really want to watch the series again *sigh*.
Intro:


Also.

I was watching pictures from my childhood (how long does this period of time last?). One of them was from my room, and I realized that I had a picture (more like a small poster, really) of Edward Furlong on my wall. Why, might you ask? (Or not, but I'll answer anyway).
Because I couldn't find a poster with Linda Hamilton. Maybe I wasn't really trying that hard after all, because I already had a poster with Belinda Carlisle, and I didn't want anyone to figure out that I was more interested in the girls than the boys.
And everybody else (aka my friends) thought he was cute, so...Edward instead of Linda Hamilton....?
Nowadays I don't plaster my walls with posters. I put them in my blog .

Belinda Carlisle

Linda Hamilton

Now if you need a picture of Edward Furlong to compare whether or not it was an okay choice to have him on my wall, I suggest you Google it ;o)

It's Friday. L Word begins soon.

Some times I wish that I live in USA. But most of the time I'm happy where I am.
So why bring this up now?
The L Word! It starts Sunday. And I can't watch it. At least not on my TV - and not legally. In theory I have to wait on the DVD. But Thank God (and I'm not even religious!) for YouTube!!!

Anyway.
I know everyone has their favorite character and/or couple. I like Helena Peabody (well actually I like Rachel Shelley, but it's a win-win situation) the most. Both the bitchy and the softer version. And I thought Dylena was the best thing that ever happend to Helena. And Dylan's back this season!
Alright, I'll stop rambling about this for now.

I just wanted to post these pictures. No, they are not new.
I give you:

Rachel Shelley (Helena Peabody in "The L Word")

Alexandra Hedison (Dylan Moreland in "The L Word")

And for those of you who prefer other characters:







Okay, so I got a little carried away, but I didn't want to leave anybody out.

Feel the connection?

I can't wait. Just wish I didn't have to wait so long...

Still in the Closet?

Here's the way to survive:

In case you want to read more about the...erhm...alternative housing possibilities.

The webpage says: "We do love demonstrations of adapting and living in small spaces; it is interesting how many of them come from artists."

So it's art?

Karman Kregloe....And Cat on the Prowl

If you want to know about Karman Kregloe, her wedding to Bridget McManus, astrology or Cat Davis (Cat on the Prowl)... Go here!!!

Or watch the video here:
(I know it's 30 minutes+ but it's great. Both Cat and Karman are amazing women.)
