The Welcoming Back Post.

So here am I, posting again.

And afraid to check my account as whenever I wake up very early in the morning, it coincides with a withdrawal via Direct Debit. I don't know why.

More things in heaven and earth, etc...

The Oranges Are Still Not The Only Fruit Post.

Barbados is the most easterly of the Caribbean islands, and it's often referred to by a lot of the locals as "Little England." Said locals apparently have a Daily Mail mentality based on the two main newspapers, the Barbados Advocate and the Nation. The latter's running a three-part series about that evil activity, same-sex feelings between girls. 

The second part, about how the subject of the story "reformed" through the Church, is here. Now I do not believe that same-sex love = irredeemably wicked, so this is sad to read (especially given the first article in the series, which you can find on the site - I can't bring myself to link to it); my distaste for this piece is really brought out by a lot of the comments below. It seems that a lot of people haven't noticed that it's not the 19th century any longer - true, you get homophobia all over the planet, but in a country that likes to trumpet itself as being a developed place it's like "WTF?"

If Nicole Hinkson (that's her name) is happy the way she is, then good for her. But you have to feel for those lesbians (and gay men, let us not forget) who still have to hide.

For fuck's sake, grow up.

The I Can't Think Of Anything To Write Post.

Okay, there is something. I'd like to thank sister Zeta for the tops, which were much appreciated.

I'd also like to thank Colosseum for making it worthwhile to keep using them, even though they don't seem to have any free discs this month. (Last month it was Aliens Vs. Predator - Requiem. Much better than Alien Vs. Predator, musically anyway.)

And I'd like to thank Hayden, for obvious reasons. And because the need to calm down after online dissings of her made the above necessary to soothe myself.

See, Victor, that wasn't so hard.
