Less than some, more than others. Ideologically supportive, was constrained during the semester because my (Anglophone, upper middle class, international) university's faculties did not for the most part vote to strike. McGill tends to divide itself from the res of the student movement in the province, though, even compared to the other Anglo university, so the fact that four or five student unions got on board the strike was a big deal. There were always a decent minority of people in the law faculty who were supportive but after Bill 78 tons of friends who were otherwise dismissive of the movement have gotten on board. Unconstitutional laws apparently piss off law students. Go figure.

Anyway, I've been going to more of the daytime marches and then casserole-ing in the evening. Night marches freak me out a bit because the cops are more aggressive then but I'll probably go to a few of them with some friends over the next few weeks.

I have to squeeze every drop of Floridian from my corpuscles before I get used to homes without central A/C.

not a burn if you're happy

Ooo jurlfriend, it's a burn all right.... I don't get many sunburns, so it's novel and it feels almost invigorating. Might be riding a Vitamin D high tho.

A few years ago it got up to about 105 here and everyone was completely dead from the heat because NO ONE in Seattle has A/C. It usually only goes above 90 a few days a year, if that. Some summers it doesn't even break past the high 80s.
― The Reverend, Monday, 28 May 2012 18:42 (eleven years ago) link
it gets relatively hot here in the summer, but it also gets crazy cold in the winter and the buildings are old and apartments are cheap and students be poor.

br3nt and i spent the weekend in joshua tree, hiking and looking at crazy outdoor sculpture and drinking at pappy and harriet's and a visit to the INTEGRATRON and mad hotel room cuddlez (specifically the hotel where gram parsons OD'd!). we just passed the three-month mark ourselves, and (work pending) we'll be going to SF for a week mid-june. i'm still super-crazy about him.
and now off to a bbq!

I offered him a choice: a new watch or dinner.

Terrible movie: Shame (still better than Drive, though)

meh, Drive was a little funnier (intentionally, even)

Shame was garbage.

I'm guessing that wasn't Alfred's farewell.

Yeah, it must have been rough to see so many of your ballot given representation on (horror of horrors) an ILX poll.
― Björk lied (Eric H.), Monday, 4 June 2012 16:02 (eleven years ago) link
lol, oops, I just assumed that was Morbs posting.
Still hoping to find a convincing defense of Shame from a gay critic. It should've worked on me, but nope.

"Shame was garbage" was what Mank originally had in place of "Fasten your seat belts - it's going to be a bumpy night."

I went to a belated-birthday gathering at the Monster -- West Village mainstay that I hadn't been inside since the (early) '90s -- and some patron around 80 went to the piano to sing "Over the Rainbow." Gayest happy hour ever.

Why, was there an orgy going on simultaneously?
― Björk lied (Eric H.), Friday, 8 June 2012 14:44 (eleven years ago) link
no, I mean post-sexual gayism.
(ie if I'm singing "Hand in Glove" in a bar in 30 years, shoot me)

Oh, and what was the band whose name inspired a gay thread in the last year?? I cannot remember their name for the life of me. I keep wanting to say The Clash or The Cult, but it's not them. And I don't remember any of their songs. Halp.

The Fall?
I went to Dyke Day in the park yesterday and it ruled. Made some new pals, got fairly burnt. Later we went to the soon-to-be closing bartender made us two xxxxxtra strong sidecars that I am still reeling from.

So I go to the annual Folsom East fair near the NY Eagle, when I can manage it, even tho I'm not (hugely) fetishistic. Wondering if this will be the last (borderline nsfw?):

It was a cheap/easy punchline, admittedly. (But it did come from a gay YouTube vid I just saw a couple days ago, for real.)
