Delicate

The best thing I can say about my pop culture intake this weekend is that I was highly entertained by two shows last night both ending with Damien Rice songs (Alias and The L Word with Delicate and Cannonball respectively). Isabella Rossellini is beautiful and was highly entertaining on Alias but she's not Lena Olin. ABC just needs to come on with the money and get Spy Mommy back. It's like everything in the whole word this season is connected to Spy Mommy but god forbid we have any more of her than IM conversations and kisses sent through her sister to Jack. I'm all for Spy Parent loving but there's something a little icky when you throw Spy Aunt into it. OK well maybe there's not anything icky about it because I kind of liked it when she shocked Jack with a big ass kiss. However I stand firm to the belief that Jack and Irina kissing is much hotter than Jack and Irina's sister kissing.

Now, on to The L Word. Wow, what can I say about this show other than I really, really wanted to like it. A show about lesbians that includes lesbian sex and actual lesbian relationships! Woo hoo; or so I thought. Now I'm not so much with the woo hoo. Now I'm more like damn I should have known better than to be excited. Of course I think I'm supposed to automatically be thrilled that there are actually some lesbians on tv and really what's not to love? Was it the predatory lesbian who could give a shit that the girl she's decided to go after is (at least for the moment) straight and living with and is in a very committed relationship with her boyfriend? Was it the lesbian couple so desperate to get pregnant that sexual orientation and all common sense goes out the window and they decide to bring a man into their bed? Oh and not tell the man that the only reason he is there is because they want him to be a sperm donor? Was it the cram it down your throat message that sexuality is fluid and that's why it's so easy for supposedly straight girl to cheat on her boyfriend with the lesbian who decided to go after her? OK I have to stop writing about this because I'm going to blow a gasket.

Let me say this, if you feel that your sexuality is fluid and you are not completely gay or straight or that bisexuality is the descriptor that fits you to a tee then good for you. Revel in your sexuality, whatever it may be. But my sexuality isn't fluid and I'm more than a little offended when people try to suggest that it is. I'm more than a little offended when I am looking so forward to seeing a committed lesbian couple represented on a tv show and then that show passes off a lesbian couple bringing a man into their bed as a perfectly logical course of action. The L Word was a big fucking disappointment.

Of course because I'm a pansy and am still desperate to see lesbians on tv I'll be watching next week.

Now, onto more entertaining things like football. Go Patriots! Pansy Boy completely cracked in New England and I loved every minute of it. I enjoyed watching the Patriots dominate the Colts very much. I was very bored watching the Eagles just completely falter against Carolina. I'm glad Carolina won but that was a boring game that got switched off for Alias and Sex and the City. My Super Bowl pick is that the Patriots will win it but Carolina will keep it close. I won't be disappointed with whichever team wins. It's been a good season. Now I just have to remember what it is I like to do on Sundays when there is no football on......
