I was thinking about Queer as Folk the other day- I saw a headline about a reboot. set in New Orleans with Juliette Lewis.

It's been years since I watched QaF, and I've probably forgotten most of it. I know by the end every character irritated the hell out of me, but even so I remember how vivid Brian Kinney was. He had something no one else on the show came close to.

I don't think I ever saw the actor in anything else, so I don't know if it was him or the writers that lit the character up, but yeah. Brian Fucking Kinney.

I am pretty sure I never watched it, but I absorbed a lot about it through fannish osmosis. I also remember a lot about the British Queer as Folk but never watched it.

Hugs hugs!

I imagine it has not aged well. I'm not sure why I started watching it, if it was online mentions or coworkers, but I can get sucked into a soap opera story line.

When my niece was a teen she was all about the OC for a little while, so I checked it out and ended up watching it long after she lost interest.

As you get older, you don't get wiser. You get irritable.― Doris Lessing

When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.- Tom Stoppard

We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.

All human beings should try to learn before they die what they are running from, and to, and why.

We do what we must, and call it by the best names. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is, in its deepest being, something helpless that wants help from us. -Rainer Maria Rilke

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.- Anatole France

If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error. -John Kenneth Galbraith

Don't try to solve serious matters in the middle of the night. -Philip K. Dick

It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over. -Edna St. Vincent Millay

If at the end your cheerfulness is not justified, at any rate you will have been cheerful.-HG Wells.

Stories are the only enchantment possible, for when we begin to see our suffering as a story, we are saved. - Anais Nin
