Two events
To things today to report:
1) Did my taxes ... for, uh, 2004. Doing taxes is just as annoying as I remember.
2) Saw Brokeback Mountain. Good thing it was with a group ... I was uncomfortable during parts of it... I admire the guts of the actors playing those roles.

really hey? there must be something profoundly amiss with my memory. because i don't remember seeing anything that could be cause for discomfort in the film. the sex is not even visible.

It's a guy thing. Perhaps it's a 'guy with issues' thing. Dunno. Made me squirm.

I dunno Elise, it was pretty clear that there was some pretty violent 'giving and receiving' going on in that film... NOt that it made me uncomfortable, per say - I didn't think the movie was all that shit hot though. Stupid Oscar's.

i remember the one scene in the tent, where sex was obviously taking place but we didn't see it, and a kiss later on. but i mean... there is thousand times more explicit hetero sex in how many films out there?

rereading myself, it occurs to me that maybe "hetero" is the operative term in there. i know that, for me, gay or hetero doesn't make much of a difference (i hate to watch people "do it" no matter with whom!) perhaps, in part, because i had gay friends growing up. but i also have friends who are uncomfortable just seeing 2 guys holding hands in my neighborhood downtown toronto, so...
degrees of comfort!
