I have found an amazing place. It is...the Michael Emerson gallery. Oh yes. It is glorious.
I'm gonna be completely honest...I'm really excited for 24 next week. I just watched Monday's episodes on Thursday night and there was definitely some legitimate Cherry Jones acting, which I have been wishing for since the dawn of time, basically. Oh man, it was good. She is such an amazingly talented actress, it's ridiculous. I mean, seriously, if you break down the dialogue from that last scene when she's asking Jack to open the door and she makes her little speech...oh my god, that dialogue is terrible. Worst writing of my life, seriously. I'm still pissed off about it, which is really not out of the ordinary for me when it comes to 24's writers, so whatever. But I don't even care, because her performance totally makes up for it. You just have to stop understanding English for a while and pay attention to the inflections and stuff. Plus she totally held her own against Jack Bauer in that yelling match; that was obviously awesome and it should be celebrated forever.
Sometimes I kind of hate being a lesbian. I mean, I've come to terms with it and stuff and I know that's who I am and I'm happy about it, but there are times when it just sucks knowing that you're different and you can't do a thing about it. I always see these adorable straight celebrity couples and want to be just like them, and the lesbians really don't have an equivalent for that. I think Ellen and Portia are probably the closest thing, but generally most relationships just have this air of sadness and exhaustion around them. You can totally tell what kind of stress people have endured by looking at their face and just seeing something you understand in their eyes. So when I see Muffin Man or Michael and Carrie, they just look a little bit more happy and stress-free. When I see Cherry and Sarah they look happy too, but they look tired, like they've had to put in all this work discovering themselves and they're ready to take a vacation, but a part of them will never stop working at it no matter how hard they try. And that brings this automatic seriousness into the relationship, which just sucks. I want to be cheery and humorous for the rest of my life. Seriousness is lame.
