Congrats are in order

Congrats to my old friend Ryan Smith and his fiance Melinda on their wedding engagement! Ryan is a great guy and was one of my first new friends when I moved from Austin to Houston. I couldn’t be more happy for him and wish them both all the best!

The L Word

Quite miraculously, I found “The L Word” on DVD in Nairobi a while back and we just started watching this week. Erin D used to invite me to viewing parties, but I was never able to make it. When I saw it for sale for cheap, I decided to pick it up on the chance it’d work in my computer (it does!). We’ve only seen a few episodes so far, but I’m already a fan. I think the pilot was by far the best yet but every episode has left me wanting more. I’d assume the majority of the audience is gay, but I suspect it’s capable of drawing most everyone who’s seen it into the drama and fantasy. It’s just as unrealistic as most TV where all characters are beautiful, hip, thin, and mostly wealthy… but includes relevant story lines that are definitely engaging. After just a few episodes, I’d give it 5 stars.
