date with TiVo

   I'm up far too late, but I was catching up with TiVo. I watched a bunch of queer stuff tonight. The first was pretty light-hearted, but also somewhat annoying. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy was about a nudist that the Fab 5 were trying to help out. Well, I usually think they are pretty funny. I especially like Thom because he's funny yet genuine. On this particular episode I was disappointed that he seemed to have such a problem with the nudists. I thought he was going to have a heart attack when the people were naked - as if he'd never seen someone naked before. It was funny at first, but then it struck a nerve with me. In the gay community, I'm always astonished when we judge other people. For a group of people who deal with judgement on a daily basis, it seems so backwards that we would turn that on other people. It was a little disappointed to watch.
   I also watched tonight's episode of Queer as Folk. Holy crap! [CAUTION: Spoilers may follow!] A bomb at a gay benefit, Michael in the hospital, Brian does a complete 180 in about 5 minutes! From the previews it looks like the end of the season (and show) are going to be crazy. Brian buying a house for him and Justin - it's almost unreal. And the story line with Hunter coming back looks bizarre. I'm hooked and can't wait to see what happens next week. (how pathetic)
