D'awww!

WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 4x16 OF UGLY BETTY

On this week's episode, Justin had his first kiss. It was in a scene, but it was with a girl he liked, whose name is Lily.

Not long after, Justin has his second kiss. With his other friend from acting class, a boy named Austin.

I'll let the scene speak for itself.



It made me squee and it warmed my heart, and all I could think was OMG THEY'RE SHOWING A TEENAGE BOY HAVING HIS FIRST GAY KISS ON NETWORK TELEVISION. YAY!!!

I love that the writers "went there" with Justin. They've never pulled any punches with his character, and they've always written him to be a smart, kind, savvy kid, who's loved by his family no matter what.

It all makes me so happy!

Pups!

My roommate Erin, our friend Eileen, and I went to walk doggies in the park today.

I got this love muffin:


His name is Versace, and he's up for adoption at Sean Casey Animal Rescue.

This buddy is mellow as anything, an absolute love, and strong enough to make it through a 90+ minute walk through Prospect Park.

Whoever adopts him is a lucky, lucky person.

It's in the bag!

::facepalm::

A while back, I noticed that Forever 21 was suddenly ALL OWLS, ALL THE TIME. This was awesome.

I went to their website and searched "owl," and came up with dozens of lovely items. Mostly jewelry and the occasional printed tee, but then I found this:


Being in need of a nice, mid-size bag, I was ecstatic. Also, I've long coveted the Brooklyn Industries H-Bags, and not only was this an inexpensive knockoff, it was an inexpensive knockoff with owls.

I finally got around to ordering it, and it arrived today.

Imagine my surprise when I took it out of the packaging to realize it's huge.

In fact, it's of a size with the larger-than-necessary bags I was hoping it would replace.

Sigh.

Of course, I'm also a dumbass who didn't read the dimensions of the bag, clearly stated on the website.

Whatever, I have a cute owl bag. :-p
