Lindsay’s Lesbian Liaison’s…

Ok now its time to admit it I am an entertainment section whore… that’s right everyday I sit there at lunch with all good intentions of going to the gym or reading something insightful.. However rather than indulging in some sort of constructive activity.  Everyday I find myself scanning the entertainment section of such informative news sites as www.smh.com.au and www.news.com.au. I relish in reading about the latest crap tv shows (Think 90210) that I am to busy to watch or reading about the latest drug induced performance (not necessarily musical) by Amy Winehouse or Lily Allen. However this is a lesbian blog and lately I have been relishing in reading in the latest lesbian liaisons of the most famously trashy not so lesbian lesbian Lindsay. So far I have read about her not so straight lifestyle with Samantha Ronson indulging in everything from Samantha lighting up a cigarette 5 minutes after getting off a plane in Sydney. To Lindsay refusing to do a playboy shoot and their planned outing party next month ( the worlds worst kept secret… Im pretty sure in order to have an outing party one would have to not be out.. but hey just me). And today is no different. Apparently Lindsay wants to have a baby and the conception of the said lesbian love child will involve one of Lindsay’s former boyfriends. However this will not occur until after there pending nuptials. Reading of the Lesbian lifestyles of the rich and famous in particular Lindsay and Sam is like reading a badly scripted version of  The L Word Except with a hell of a lot more money and a whole lot less variety. It is almost refreshing to see the media reporting of this lesbian love fest with as much vigor as any brangelina story. However I am left to wonder how long it will take after the outing party/wedding/baby before this couple start to cash in on there new found trashy mag lesbian fame. Will we be seeing wedding dresses for her and her by Lindsay and Sam, maybe it will be a baby clothing range for bubbies with two mummies. The Lindsay and Sam hold hands dolls. Maybe there will be Lindsay’s guide to being pretty, rich and gay.. What do you think? What marketability does this couple have? And will they cash in on it? And if they do would you buy it…

This Dyke Doesn't Do DVD's

Frustrations. We all at time feel frustrated whether its from things that occur beyond our control or our set plans are turned upside down. Sometimes we even feel frustrated with ourselves.  

A few things in this world really frustrate me. One in particular is venturing to the video store.. and not only that the whole process of hiring and then watching a video especially if the said dvd then skips, jumps and doesn’t word.. even worse when the video is in subtitles so small I feel like stealing my grandmothers reading glasses..

Ahhh yes frustrations….

When I head down to my local video store on a rainy cold evening  not only am I often frustrated by the lack of videos I actually want to watch being available. I am also often wandering the selves staring blankly at numerous hetero romantic comedies, action movies and thrillers for a longer period than I am actually going to spend watching the video.

Once this argious process is over and having chosen a DVD I think I may find remotely interesting I head off home and get ready to gear up for an extended session on the couch with a bowl of microwave popcorn, diet coke and a blankie.

Then half an hour into the movie I am resided to the fact that yes it may actually  be remotely interesting to watch a pash fest between two Hollywood stars.. Then it stops.. Jumps a bit.. My heart leaps from my chest but alas it continues to work.. Well at least for a few more minutes until it stops and jumps again, this process is repeated several times until I grab the remote and attempt to skip between scenes in order to watch the remainder of the movie.. after wasting half an hour on this process I give up.. return to normal television viewing and vow to give em heaps at the video store when I return the movie.

However frustrations can be eliminated, we can put in processes to ensure we are not in situations in which we will feel frustrated. Recently I attempted to do this.. Rather than head to my local video store and spends hours walking up and down the selves and selves of mindless dvd’s I decided to be resourceful…. I went online and rented some movies from a gay and lesbian dvd shop.. ahh yes my happiness when 4 days after making my purchase 3 all lesbian DVD’s packaged with a return envelope arrived in my letterbox… 2 days later I set myself up to watch them… and discovered something even more frustrating… whats worse than hiring movies from a shop and not have them work… is renting them online from a shop interstate and not having one of the bloody movies work…
