My father called me earlier this evening to tell me he'd just heard on the radio that Dumbledore was gay. He was most disappointed that I'd already heard (from the flist, of course) but was enthused because, as he said, "can you just imagine how much the Christian Right will hate that series now!?" Hah.

Also, for my birthday (yes, months ago), I got a television. This television, except I bought it recertified through Newegg so it was only about $350. I was a bit trepidatious about purchasing an off-brand LCD tv and purchasing recertified was also contributing to the worry, but the reviews for the tv were all pretty good, so I went for it. I've had it for over two months now and it is AWESOME. I haven't seen anyone else in my dorm with a tv so large and sleek. It definitely measures up to the other LCD tvs its size at the store (I should know; I spent hours looking at them when I was trying to figure out which to buy) which cost $700 to $1000. I'm pleased. My tv shows look so kickass on the big, wide screen. I like it a lot.

I've added some new shows to the list of things I watch (semi)regularly -- Bionic Woman and A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. They're both pretty lame in totally different ways, but they try hard. And Bionic Woman occasionally has Katee Sackhoff. Really, next season they should just hire her full-time and change the title to Bionic Women.
