Six Feet Under

We spent most of Saturday evening and almost the entire day Sunday watching Six Feet Under. I know we're behind times, but I am totally hooked on that show. We are renting it on NetFlix and have spent good portions of the last few weekends watching it. Good story lines, I love what they do with the gay couple. They are right on with so many of the issues that come up in relationships - gay or straight.

There was an episode (we're watching season 3) with David and Keith that struck home with GF and me. It was a scene when they were discussing their different backgrounds - David's family is stoic and never shows any emotion, Keith's family is angry and doesn't hide it. Very much like our respective families. My family is based on Leave it to Beaver; all is good, we are never emotional and especially never angry. Her family is constantly angry about something and seems to be in constant crisis. It has been one of our most challenging "issues" to work with in our relationship.... same with David and Keith.

We also watched Puccini for Beginners this weekend. It was OK at best. I liked how the main character dressed, and I thought her girlfriend "Grace" was cute. Sometimes that is enough to keep me happy..........what can I say?
