I'm the only gay in the village.

Am back from the French Posse Day. Which was awesome, as per usual *misses FP already*
We had our brunch at Starbucks - Starbucks wheee - followed with Brokeback Mountain which was even more beautiful than I thought. My god, what a beautiful movie! So incredibly painful and gorgeous. So damn powerful and so bloody sad! I really think I need to assimilate what I've seen. Both Ennis and Jack broke my heart - both in different ways and for different reasons. And the actors blew me away - the actresses were awesome too, btw. I did cry like I knew I would - and seriously you should have seen the five of us... all bawling lol We were quite the sight. But just - that's the kind of film that punches you in the face in a way... and it makes you feel, you know? Well, it certainly did for me, at any rate. I loved it - would love to see it again. And again and again.
After the film, SAM and Catia left and Rosie, GD and I went to GD's to spend the remaining of the afternoon.
We had a blast! GD was a girl on a mission: first she showed us several episodes of Little Britain, which dude! Cracked me up so fucking much! It's brilliant, there are no other words for it. I need to see whether I can find the torrents because I want to laugh my ass off whenever I want with that series. Then she decided to show us the beauty of Veronica Mars, which believe me wasn't an easy feat because I'd watched the pilot once and thought it was booooooring and just not my kind of thing. Except GD is a good pimp and she showed us the right episodes and then I might have expressed a certain interest in Logan and she picked just the right scene to push me over the edge, namely some crucial scenes in 1x06 - and omg okay it was AWESOME and in the end I had to admit that yeah, I kinda fell for woobie!Logan and for pretty and kick ass Veronica. So in a moment of weakness I might also have asked her to burn the episodes for me *cough* So I'm weak and a tv junkie so sue me! But... I mean.. LOGAN! That is all. [ETA: Holy Fucking Shit! How stupid can I be? I just remembered that I already have most of VM on CDs! Catia burnt them for me ages ago! MAN! *dies*] [ETA2: Okay so I have all season 1. GD? I'll only need the first part of s2 after all *cough*]
Then around 9.30 pm we left for the Marais to find the 3W - ladies bar - which we did. We didn't even get lost or anything. We thought we'd won, except we didn't because the bar was packed. But! We did enter. So we didn't completely lose at gay bar. Right? So okay, we thought, what the hell, we'll find another bar. Which we did too. That's when we went from wild orgy lady bar to cozy hot chocolate bar. You want to make something out of it?! And then it was 10.30 pm and I went home. Yeah because I forgot to say we'd established we wouldn't go the gay club that night after all.
So, like, I have my cursed episodes... and now I have my cursed gay club ;-)
PS:Junk Food eaten today: two donuts, one sandwich, several Oreos. I love me some French Posse Day lol

Juste apres, mes preferes sont 'the only gay in the village' et le con en fauteuil roulant. c'est vraiment de l'humour bete et mechant, d'habitude c'est pas mon truc. Mais j'y peux rien, ils me font ricaner.
Ca repasse en ce moment sur bbc prime, j'ai deja vu toute la saison 1 mais je regarde quand meme, et deja connaitre toutes les blagues ne m'empeche en rien de rire a nouveau. :-)
Ma soeur a recupere la saison 2 en dvd par un de ses collegues, va falloir que je la squatte pour regarder avec elle.
Brokeback Mountain, bouuuuuuh...!
J'arrive pas a m'en remettre. Le film est encore plus poignant que le bouquin, faut quand meme le faire.

Date: 2006-01-22 08:27 am (UTC)Heh, you like Veronica Mars, yay! But, then again, who could resist the power of woobie!Logan? No one, that's who. And Veronica rocks.
And you went to a gay bar. Now who's the wild one. ;)

Date: 2006-01-22 06:14 pm (UTC)I can't believe I enjoyed VM so much lol I don't think it'll be one of those series I obsess over but I'll make sure to treat myself with a little VM marathon and chances are I'll even download the new episodes after Wednesday :-)
Lol It would have been even wilder if we'd actually stayed but yeah *g*

Date: 2006-01-22 06:16 pm (UTC)Lol I wanted to then realised we hadn't completely mentioned all the details of our little story so didn't want the whole lj-land to realise how big liars we are ;-)
Nice icon *g*

Date: 2006-01-22 06:23 pm (UTC)Or maybe we'll seriously have to think of going to Lyon, uh? *g*
We have to think about it, indeed - maybe a week end in spring?
no subject
Date: 2006-01-23 11:30 am (UTC)That would be awesome, yes. Though I'm trying to see whether I can't go to Lancaster for a week-end in April already - a friend from my flist is organising a nice gathering and I'm thinking of going... dunno if it'll be possible though. In any case, I guess Lyon would be easier ;-) But seriously, we'll have to think about it, yes, the week-end idea is pretty awesome *g*

Date: 2006-01-24 08:46 pm (UTC)Seriously, I can easily have two of you staying at my place - even more if we put camp mattresses on the floor - and I could give you a tour of the town, and we could meet with other Lyon's slashers... *ggg*

Date: 2006-01-22 05:59 pm (UTC)I'm trying not to laugh at you too much about Veronica Mars, I mean, how many times can you laugh at someone for doing a total about face about tv show after tv show? You're such an addict, it's true *g* But really, it's an addiction I can totally get behind.
I'm with littledrop about Little Britain. Some sketches I like, some leave me cold.

Date: 2006-01-22 06:21 pm (UTC)DUDE! I almost made my first people!filter with your name on it when I mentioned VM because I knew you would mock me lol But hey, I don't think I'll obsess over it... though I'll definitely have fun with my marathon soon *cough*
What I love about Little Britain is how British [English?] it is, which I know is kinda the point but still. I love that kind of humour - so unbelievably un-PC and dark sometimes. It's pure genius :-)
