Random Post
This is another post in which I will cover a wide range of topics from the Tony's to Power Ranger toys.
Today I watched Fargo which I find hilarious beyond belief in some parts. Yesterday I watched both Revolutionary Road and Slumdog Millionaire and enjoyed both very much though I preferred Revolutionary Road. On Monday I went around to a bunch of different stores seeing if any around me had gotten in any KRDK action figures yet. None had but I did find a Wolf Ranger Battlizer figure, I probably overpaid but I really wanted a RJ figure. I also went to the Library: Got a pass for the Desert Botanical Garden, Best of the Power Rangers was due even though I didn't see any of the episode and since there are only like four copies of it in the entire Phoenix public library system and like five hold requests for it. Had to return The Mayor of Castro Street 3 days late because I got to reading it late and like the Best of PR DVD the Phoenix Public Library system only had 1 copy and there was a hold on it.
It was great book with much more insight into the life of Harvey Milk than I though I would ever get. While Milk wasn't based on it, I have to say the book was better than the movie. Also it is weird reading biographies about people that were written quite some years ago. The last year I remember mentioned is 1980, I'm not sure if it was finished exactly in 1980 but it had to be in the early 80's. I was strange to think all the advances that have happened for gay rights since then as well what would happen to so many gays by the late 80's due to Aids. It was made even more sad when by that I already about some of the men mentioned who I already knew died of Aids. On another odd note I saw Tom O'Hogan during the In Memory montage at the Tony’s.
That segways into my next topic the Tony's. I thought it was a great show overall and Neil Patrick Harris was a wonderful host. The Rock of Ages presentation made it look a lot better than I thought it would be, and the use of "Don't Stop Believin" immediately made me flash to Glee. Although my judgment my be clouded by the hilarity of Liza Minnelli getting hit on, and really hot guy that comes off a gay during the presentation. Also I have no idea what the play Angela Lansbury is in is about, but after seeing a DVD of the 1981 performance of Sweeney Todd I will forever think see is awesome, So I am glad won. I may comment on the other presentations later, but I'm too lazy to do it at this moment. In semi related news in appears my favorite possible former go go boy has been cast in a revival of Bye Bye Birdie.

In other random tidbits: I totally did not take my own advice this past Saturday and missed KRDK, but it was a rerun so no problem there, but I really need to find out what time Yugioh 5D's comes on now. Lastly I applaud anyone who gets through this rambling mess. Also I should have split this up into different posts.
