sailing the fingers of the dragon

1. I don't know if I have a favourite! I have a lot of least-favourites (the u-haul perhaps chief among them). But my favourite is actually possibly one that I would also classify as a dislike, paradoxically. I really dislike the cliche that is so prevalent that it became the image around which the L Word chart was based, that every lesbian is inevitably connected to every other in one little incestuous circle. But while I dislike the small-town-ness of that, I like that it leads to close-knit communities of women with complicated relationship statuses. I was thinking of this the other day as the old dykes' networks - the antidote to old boys' clubs.

2. OMG HEE. Okay.
Get Crazy Drunk With: Jaime Murray. Because, come on, there are photos of her arguably completely sober with a lampshade on her head already available on the internet. I can only imagine the hilarity that would ensue at the crazy drunk stage.
Go Crazy Dancing With: Christine Baranski. Because, have you seen "Does Your Mother Know?" Yes, I know you have. Q.E.D. Sadly she would completely out-dance me, but I think I would be okay with that.
Have Snuggles With: Amanda Tapping. Because soft textiles, and also mrrr.

3. I am pretty sure Kalinda would cause a minor riot in the ExecuDyke Bar. But I suspect the first person to emerge out of it would in fact be Kira. It would be less a case of buying her a drink and more a mutual-sizing up, a cautious exploration of similarities, and an ensuing bout of subtly trying to drink each other under the table with everyone else looking on and quietly placing bets.
