After the last entry, I remembered Shawn mentioning that Anne Bancroft had died, and it made me remember the first film that I remember encountering her in, which was "Torch Song Trilogy", which I happen to own on dvd. The first time I saw it was on late night television in the late 80's, and it was only the 2nd gay themed movie that I had ever seen, and this one struck me on so many levels; it made me weep. I watched it twice this morning; once just to watch it, and then again with the commentary track by Harvey Fierstein, which was fantastic, actually.

Anne Bancroft appeared in several other films that I had seen, and I was always struck by her performances, though the ones I enjoyed most were (probably) not always, her best. I loved her in "Point of No Return" & "Agnes of God", and of course, "The Graduate". And I don't care what anyone says; I adore everything about the version of "Great Expectations" in which she appears. And I look forward to encountering her in years to come in movies I've yet to see, but she'll always be Ma from "Torch Song Trilogy", to me. ;-0)

After watching TST twice, I tried to sleep & failed, watched an episode of Robotech, while eating & filing away my slash art, then got ready for work. Work went by fairly quickly, but it was hot outside. I ate pizza for lunch, which was made wrong at first, but they fixed it. I had fun. I rented various queer titles, which I intend to watch before returning... I went to Kroger after work for the stuff I didn't get yesterday. I enjoyed the porn I rented, when I got home, took a shower, and then wrote this.

I'm tired. I might watch a movie with Mark. I might take a nap. I might go to Aut or Necto (though I serioiusly doubt it). Jonathan told me he 'knew' Justin Dotson; makes me wonder what he's up to these days, though probably not enough to actually call him.

Speaking of Jonathan, I should maybe call Mollie & figure out what time we're going to Hillsdale tomorrow... but I think sleep is going to win for now. I'll try to get in touch with everyone when I wake up. For now, I'm gonna crawl into my big comfy bed (which I love) and just...relax.
