Lesbian clichés

The pair of tickets I had up for draw (Instructions at studio 303) went
to Renaud Bourgelas, who wrote to tell me he’d invited a boy he has an
eye on and that the evening was “special” and the show “really nice.”
Congrats!

ALSO, there was some kind of American football celebration on TV last night? They ran the usual “special” commercials, where companies pay top dollar to get that kind of exposure. Last night’s Godaddy’s thing was kinda dumb. Their commercials have always kind of made me uncomfortable, but now, another lesbian “sous-entendu.” Gets a bit cliché after awhile.
