Germany and The L Word

So, this morning, I made a trip to my local post office and applied for a passport. In four weeks, I will have said passport. Then, in January, I will be on a plane heading for Europe, specifically (if you can't tell from the title of this post) Germany. One of my best friends from high school is doing a year abroad, and I decided I would go and visit her for two weeks (more like take advantage of her generosity and crash at her apartment, for free). Now, I realize this has absolutely nothing to do with anything LGBT, except the fact that I am gay, but I figured since most of the people who read this on any sort of regular basis are my friends, well, its worth knowing to them.

So, just a few minutes ago, I actually bought my tickets for my trip. I am EXTREMELY excited now that there is basically nothing stopping me from flying to another country in about three months. I am almost as excited as I was when I bought Spice Girls Reunion Tour tickets (Yes, I was a dork and went to see the Spice Girls at the age of 20, get over it). Anyway, as I was checking my e-mail I saw a message from my fave blogger, Dorothy Snarker. A while back, when I posted about 8 Against 8, Snarker had a drawing for Season Five of The L Word. I entered it, thinking I wouldn't actually win, but lo and behold, that's what the e-mail said, that I have won.

Today could not get any better.

:0)

Just to make everyone else feel as good and happy as I do right now, here's a little treat.


Now, for something not funny, but much, much, MUCH better.


Have an AWESOME rest of the weekend ya'll!

Fave TV Lesbian

So, I was on AfterEllen today and saw their list of TV's Hottest Lesbian/Bi doctors ... and DAYUM (come on, Olivia Wilde and Sara Ramirez as the top 2? Well, DUH!)

Of course, as always happens, it is impossible to include all the hot lesbian/bi doctors on the list, although, including Jorja Fox from her ER days was a pleasant surprise, but they skipped Elizabeth Mitchell's Kim, the psych doc that was Weaver's first girlfriend.

Who is your favorite lesbian/bi doctor on television?

Here are just a few of mine:

Olivia Wilde - 13 (House)


Sara Ramirez - Callie Torres (Grey's Anatomy)


Jorja Fox - Maggie Doyle (ER)


Elizabeth Mitchell - Kim Legaspi (ER)

Wednesday Hottie

I really need to get better at posting this for you all. I apologize for skipping last week. Anyway, this week's hottie is Olivia Wilde.

Born in New York City and raised in Washington, D.C. by journalist parents, Olivia graduated from Phillips Academy, where she studied acting. She did everything while in school. She starred in, directed and produced over two dozen school productions. Damn, I wish I was that talented. I can barely keep a blog updated while in school. During her summers, Olivia traveled abroad to places such as Ireland, where she studied at the renowned Gaiety School of Acting in Dublin (she actually has dual citizenship between Ireland and the United States). Upon graduation from Phillips, she moved to L.A. and, while working at a casting agency, landed a small role in the feature "The Girl Next Door." Olivia decided to pursue acting full-time and was soon cast as the female lead in "Skin."

Unfortunately, "Skin" was canceled after only 3 episodes. There were 5 more episdes that never aired. I had never even heard of this show before researching for this blog. Fortunately for us fans, Olivia temporarily moved onto another, more successful, Fox show and portrayed the very sexy wild child Alex Kelly on "The O.C." for 13 episodes. She was the amazingly hot biseuxal who started out dating Seth Cohen and then dated Marissa Cooper for a couple episodes.

She also filmed three new feature films in 2005: "Alpha Dog," "Bickford Shmeckler's Cool Ideas," and "Conversations with Other Women."

Olivia is probably now most known for her role as Remy "13" Hadley, one of Dr. House's new team members. She joined the cast during the fourth season after House's original team quit (Cameron and Foreman) or were fired (Chase). There have been several allusions to 13's sexuality. House has speculated that she is either gay or bisexual. Previews for the current season have shown scenes that allude even more to 13 not being straight.

In addition to her acting work, Olivia is also a team member of the Los Angeles Filmmaker's Cooperative. She serves as the editor in chief of LAFCO NEWS, and as a chair member of the education department. She was the project manager for the LAFCO production of The Lysistrata Project, the first-ever theatrical event for peace held in hundreds of cities world wide. Olivia is now in the midst of planning the first annual LAFCO Future Filmmakers Festival made up entirely of work produced by people between the ages of 6 and 18.

Her dog, Paco, was the mascot for Old Navy in 2006. Olivia is an avid supporter of Barack Obama, and campaigned for him during early primaries with House co-star Kal Penn. She is also a supporter of the youth voter organization, 18 in '08. She serves on their Advisory Council and appeared in a PSA that debuted June 30, 2008.

Sorry for the small amount of information. There doesn't seem to be much information on Miss Olivia Wilde. She seems as mysterious as her character 13.
