I was watching this movie, Guinevere, Saturday night, and it was so bad it was almost fun. Basic plot: (imagine a dumb blonde saying the rest of this) So, yeah, there's this castle called Camelot and this queen named Guinevere and this king named Arthur and this knight named Lancelot, but nothing really happens between Guinevere and Lancelot. And Arthur's sister, Morgan L'Fey, is a jealous/revengeful bitch and wants to take Arthur out. Oh, and Merlin's in it and Percivale and Gawaine get honorable mentions. The best part is probably the fact the Sean Patrick Flannery (Arthur) looks like he hasn't quite finished puberty yet. (It was a TV movie in '94.)

Watched Frequency (with Dennis Quaid and Jim Cavaizel) today. I really liked it.

I'm |_| (thisclose) to adding Dennis Quaid to my "Sexy Bitch" list. He'll at least get "Honorable Mention" status for Frequency and Far From Heaven. And I think I'm going to give Mel Gibson "Honorable Honorable Mention" status on the list for The Passion.

And speaking of my SBL, mmm...Ethan Embry. No matter how hard the "Dragnet" people try to make him look horrid, he still looks good. Don't get me wrong - I love the new "Dragnet", but sometimes....

Pederasty is evil. Well, technically, the TV show "Miracles" is evil. The episode that was on tonight, "The Bone Scatterer", was kickass. And Paul and Travis shouldn't have as much chemistry as I was seeing. Now I have a preslash plot bunny where they keep in touch. And another starting "Five years later...". Evil, I tell you. Evil!

Okay, so I'm really liking my classes this semester. The one problem I have this semester is my "History of Rock" professor. And it's more that one of his quirks drives me up the wall. He'll play songs for us to listen to to illustrate what he's been talking about and then as the song's playing, he'll start playing along with it on the piano to really emphasize what he's talking about. It's like, "*Okay* we *get* it!!!" I want to duct tape his hands together.

On the other hand, I love Bill, my lighting instructor. I've had him for some intro classes freshman year and he's great. He's probably what Marshall (from "Alias") will be like in, like, 30 years or something.

Ugh. I hate writing papers. Why do I have to write an *8-10* page analysis of three movies?

Okay, I was looking at what I wrote yesterday, and I think I might've used the wrong word. According to Merriam-Webster Online, a pederast (from which pederasty is derived) means "one that practices anal intercourse especially with a boy". So does that mean that you could use pederasty or variants thereof in the context of two adults and still have it be correct? *sigh* Now I'm confuzzled.

And I take back saying that "Miracles" is evil. It's a really good show (and on Monday nights at 10 on ABC). Just because David Greenwalt ("Angel") is an executive producer/showrunner (whatever that means), doesn't necessarily make it evil. (Although the case for it being evil because of that could be very easily made.)

I'm just not sure how to do this plot bunny. Or if I even should. Especially since the last thing I want is to promote pedophilia or anything like that. Would it work to have the two characters (keep in mind one's ~13/14 and the other's 20-something) become good friends in the first story and after knowing each other for a few years start to slowly fall in love and then in the second actually be able to act on it because the younger one is now of legal age? Keep in mind that both parties are completely consenting and neither says anything to the other. And the objective isn't to get them to bed each other or anything. Argh. The moral intricasies/ambiguities of this are way too hard to comprehend.
