What does someone do when she:

Has too much time on her hands, knows me way too well, and experiences a creative rush at 3:30 am that cannot be denied?

Never let it be said I won't admit it when I'm wrong.

my2cats had trouble finding my house at Xiefest, and we all blamed her husband for entering my address incorrectly when they pulled up directions online.

But I typoed my own address and it was All. My. Fault.

She can prove it.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

When did it happen? When did a gay TV kiss become just a kiss?

Last week on Cold Case, two cops locked lips in a passionate, romantic, man-on-man smooch to a resounding lack of outrage from, well, anyone at all. Even the gays didn't raise much more than an eyebrow.

It certainly wasn't like that in 1991, when bisexual attorney C.J. Lamb (Amanda Donohoe) brushed lips with mousy little Abby Perkins (Michele Green) on L.A. Law in one of the most passionless kisses in television history. And the situation hadn't improved by 1994, when Fox wouldn't show Melrose Place's Matt Fielding (Doug Savant) kissing Billy's (Andrew Shue) best man, Rob (Ty Miller), opting instead to simply show Billy's shocked reaction to the kiss.

But at some point between 1991 and 2006, the passionate, same-sex kiss arrived on network television — and almost no one noticed.

I'm going to send you via a roundabout route so as to maintain plausible deniability. You can find the link to the story here ... With pictures and video, OMG!
