So. Same-sex marriage is going to be legalized in Canada.

I heard it on the news today at the dentist, and I cried a little right there in the dentist chair. (I had to reassure the poor oral hygienist that I was indeed crying at the news.)

O Canada
I would sing your national anthem
If I knew the words
O Canada

I love Canada. I must live there.

In slightly less important-on-a-grand-scale news, I got the bulk of my Amazon order today. Now I'm just waiting for a few used things I've ordered.

I got:

* Movies: Dead Again, Henry V, and Love's Labour's Lost, all of which are Kenneth films, and the first and third Substitute movie. I didn't really want the first, because I give a crap about Tom Berenger, except not, but I couldn't get the third by itself; it only came in the double. Which is annoying, because I am a bit compulsive about organizing my movies and now I can't arrange the Substitute in numerical order. They could have at least put it in two separate cases. Well, maybe not, since they didn't bother to give Substitute 3 its own cover graphic; it's just the Sub 4 graphic altered according to secondary cast members. I guess that's what you get with a low-rent movie franchise.

* Books: Love's Labor's Lost, which oddly is spelled differently from the movie's title, for the same reason I got the Henry V play. I also got the first six volumes of Transmetropolitan, a wonderful comic that I gushed about on my DJ way back months ago. I think I hate the word comic. It just doesn't cover what comic books are. But "graphic novel" is vaguely pretentious. Anyway. Try some Transmet. You won't regret it.
