ture, there's no point wasting time and effort writing a compelling story when you can get just as many viewers with a pair of boobs.

Like, sex that has nothing to do with the story; sex for sex's sake. Yet another thing that makes the story realistic, IMO, and I cant't for the life of me understand what the problem is. There's too much sex in the show, but the violence in the show is OK? The American movie industry and media's view on sex is ridiculous, IMO. A film/series can show as much violence as a director wants, but there's an outrage when a film/series contain two people having sex, which is one of the most natural things in the world. I don't understand this view. i don't care at all if there's sex in a movie or film, that's fine. But I don't like them throwing in sex scenes just to have sex scenes. However, the violence is a part of the story, it's there for a reason. I can only surmise that sex is as key to the storyline as violence is.  It was a rough time, in more ways than one.  Personally, I don't like watching things with a lot of sex OR violence because it makes me uncomfortable, but I'm not going suggest that it shouldn't be there.

Yeah, I think it is as important as the violence, to get a real picture of the time (world) the story is set in.

I don't doubt it.

good thing i can't afford it

I am such an idiot.  I reset my IRS password today so I wouldn't have to deal with it expiring.  I typed the new pin and password into our Outlook software under my name and address so that I would have it saved somewhere.  Apparently I forgot to hit save and when I closed out of my computer I thought that it was asking me to save an incomplete email that I decided not to send.  Needless to say my new password and pin weren't saved and I can't remember what I used because I used random letters and numbers.  Ughh..  Now I have to go through the process of waiting for the IRS to respond via snail mail and then me going back into their software to confirm that I am who I say I am.  It is such an archaic pain in the ass method.  Every other password protected thing lets you automatically update your password via email and answering secret questions.

i have a cold bug where i get chills, and lack of appetite, and intestinal trouble. It has been going on for more than 3 weeks straight. Saw my doctor about a week ago, and he said it could last 4 weeks. bummer

And now we own the new house.

Sorry to hear that. 

You guys up for an album of avant-garde piano improv (on the beautiful, great condition mini grand piano the house's previous owners gave to us)? Either way, I think that's what I'll make for the next Gay Witches release.
