I've showered, and decided I want to eat and watch something before bed. I just read some good news; Brokeback Mountain has been awarded the Golden Lion for best film at the closing ceremonies for the 62nd Venice International Film Festival! Finally a proud queer film based on a queer story in which the queer factor hasn't been erased or ignored, or blamed for the movie sucking! Amazing. Also cool: Hayao Miyazaki presented the award to Ang Lee! Nice. The movie seems to be getting a lot of positive reviews, and Heath Ledger is being mentioned as a possible Oscar contender. This pleases me.

Plus 2 new JLU episodes in just 6 days.

Ok. I'll stop now. But is it any wonder that I turn to these sorts of things for enjoyment when everything else just seems so shitty?
