I get quite passionate about my shows. I bawled my eyes out for the entire 90 mins of the ‘Queer As Folk’ finale and goodbye documentary! Speaking of crying… when I was 10 my brother drove us somewhere and promised we’d be back in time for ‘Battlestar Galactica (the original).’ He insisted on stopping for gas and that was gonna make us late and I bawled my eyes out and was hysterical… after all I was missing Starbuck and there were no VCRs in those days! My brother hated the show, but 20 years later he has never forgotten who Starbuck is. Though my Starbuck obssesion passed (and I do love the new female Starbuck – what a great kickass character), my liking is more towards Apollo (Lee Adama) these days. I mean who couldn’t love Jamie Bamber? I hoped that a queer encounter was in his character’s fate since was choosed for the cover of Out’s queering of sci-fi issue a couple of years back? Hmm…

Anyway back to the subject… my Tivo gets a real workout to be sure everything gets recorded because I don’t like to miss any part of any of my shows. What really hooks my attention is compelling drama that pulls you into a fictitious world, leaving your real-world cares behind. Although I can’t get enough of reality shows that grab and thrust you into exotic locations and situations that test the limits of human capacity and interpersonal relationships.

Celebrity Dish
There aren’t many celebrities that I get star struck over, however there are a few and they are all on The List! I did have a big crush on ‘Queer Eye’s’ Kyan Douglas, but I think I’m over it as someone else has stolen me from him. Jamie Durie. O – M – F – G!!! He caught my eye on ‘The Victory Garden’ a couple of years ago but that show is so dated and stuffy and really doesn’t do him justice. His new show on HGTV, ‘The Outdoor Room’ is hot. He is hot. OMG I can barely stand it. He’s sweaty and dirty from working in the garden, has a great body and smile and an accent that makes you melt. Sigh.

Rosie O’Donnell: has been called the “queen of mean,” but that’s just mean itself. She is real, down to earth and says what she thinks and believes, which when you’re in the public eye can get you into trouble with certain people sometimes. She is one of the most charitible and compassionate people in the world. Though I think I could challenge her as to who is more crafty! Ya up for it, Rosie?

Martha Stewart: is also tops in my book and I would love to spend the day with her in the kitchen, craft room and out in the garden. Her achievements are unmatched and my belief is that her plights were exacerbated by the straight male right-wingers who cannot deal with a woman that has such a caliber of skills as she does who also built an unrivaled media empire. That said, and don’t get me wrong I’m still a Martha supporter, but I don’t like her “talk” show at all or the new “relaxed” on-air Martha. Give me the Martha that welcomed the viewer into her home once a week to craft, garden, cook and decorate. The show was so much better when it was done at Turkey Hill. Moving to a studio when the daily format began didn’t work for me then and the talk show format doesn’t now. I don’t even want to discuss it.
