Two New Shows

Earlier today (3am ), watched episode eight, the finale of " Cucumber " & " Banana ". A look into the daily lives of a motley group of Londoners, for the most part Gay, their families & friends. Gay, Straight - no difference - the same problems we all have in common as members of the human race. It was on the Logo Network (Not in HD - Comcast, what is your problem? )

Really loved these two shows & the characters. Why can't I have neighbors like that? Funny, sad, poignant & ultimately, tragic. Ep. 7 had a stunning development, that shocked. I did not see it coming. I just sat there for about 60 seconds & all I kept saying was, Oh My God! Over & over. Just on the off chance that someone happens to read this journal, I won't spoil it for anyone who has not yet viewed it. I'll just say, " yes, Henry, it was your fault! ".

The only thing that annoyed me? It was created by that knucklehead, Russell T. Davis; also includes Julie Gardner & Euros Lyn, as exec. producer & director. Yes, that same evil triumvirate that "torched" Torchwood. After almost six years, and yeah, I'm still mad.

Still Sad

Still, can't get over the loss of my former state Attorney General, Beau Biden. I loved the kid, he was just an all-around good guy. Feel terrible for his wife & children, the Vice President & Dr. Jill Biden, Hunter & Ashley.

Only got to meet him in person a few times, but, he always took the time to come up to shake your hand & say hello. For the last five years, I have received Christmas cards from Beau & his family. I know, I'm sure most of his constituents that supported him also received cards. But, it still made you feel kind of special.

So young to be gone so soon.
