where's your head at?

[raybear]

Since the majority of the folks who took my poll didn't see the movie Kissing Jessica Stein, I'm not able to make any analysis or possible correlation. Oh well. Thanks anyway for filling stuff out and satisfiying my curiosity. Plus, I was able to detemine who on my friends list would have sex with me. Ha.

Big ups to cuedus who took some words of my mouth, and also to kisha, who is the only person besides me who doesn't get their own bisexuality. Woot! I obviously can't speak for her, but the reason I chose that answer is because I've yet to determine any patterns in my desire or why/how they change, which doesn't really cause me any distress. It just makes me curious at times.

Also, Sparky is my current hero because she put an html tag in her "Current Music". She's a genuis. Why didn't I think of this? Because I'm not a genius like her, evidently. Nevertheless, I'm smart enough to steal a good idea when I see it.

Going back to the poll, I'm astounded by the number of people who don't like or don't notice Lisa Kudrow. I cry for you people and all the joy you're missing out in your life. And i'm not talking about watching "Friends" (I'm not hating! don't worry! I just don't watch it that much.) I highly recommend the movies Clockwatchers, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, The Opposite of Sex, and her small part in Albert Brooks' mother. And if for some reason they ever rerun on cable the episode of The Groundlings when she came back and did live improv with her alumnus troupe -- hiLAYrious.

[Though I also just read some fact, possibly factoid since I haven't confirmed its truth, that she was a virgin until she got married at the age of 31. Which didn't bother me, only astounded me, except the sentence following this fact informed me that her mother informed HER at a young age that her virginity was a 'special gift' to her husband. Ugh. I wonder if he saved his 'special gift' for her. I mean, I don't really care what decisions make about their own personal sex lives and when to have it and with who and how well they want to know the person, etc. etc., but sometimes people take sex too damn seriously. Well, it's not even 'sex', it's specific sex acts, since I'd bet a lot of money that she had sex before marriage. It was probably just Clintonian sex. But don't let this random bizarre story distract you from your quest to discover Kudrow's comedic genius.

Because I'm lazy: cruelnails! I got distracted from commenting on your last post, so I'm including it here.
1. what's up with Musiq dropping his fake last name? I noticed that, too.
2. let me know if I should spend my money on Cee-Lo. I want to like it, but I fear disappointment.

Tonight I will be preparing a lobster scampi with pasta type dish. With fake lobster. But I have faith it will be tasty nonetheless. And then maybe Andrew can list "Raybear's cooking" in his interest as well.

Bisexual poll

[freakysparks.livejournal.com]

I had trouble understanding the questions in the poll. To clarify:

1. I identify as a dyke, culturally, but am attracted to all genetic/identity combinations. Including straight genetic guys. Logically, this would mean I am bisexual, particularly since I tend to like transguys a lot and have fond memories of my gg ex-boyfriends.

2. I don't identify as bi. I think this is mostly due to the stigma. I'll write more about this in my journal, maybe, but it's hard to talk about.

I love Romy and Michelle, but I've never gotten into Lisa Kudrow's other stuff (I've never liked Friends, I'm afraid. I'm sure that's Must-See-TV heresy). I probably like her through association, though, 'cause she used to date Conan O'Brian...and i LOVE him!!

I was supposed to see Kissing Jessica Stein, but when we got to the movie theater, we found that it was in the special "Club" section -- reserved for 21-and-up because they serve alcohol (this was 4 weeks before I turned the big two-one). I remember that the last time we went to this movie theater, we read in the paper the next day that the Gores and the Liebermans had been there right before us. Neato.

mm

I don't really like Friends, so no worries there!

I first though, that's so bizarre about the Gores and Liebermans seeing Kissing Jessica Stein! But then I re-read your comment and realized it was probably two separate occasions....

I definitely recommend the movie, but it's not necessary to see on the big screen or anything. I'm sure it would make a better rental anyway, because expectations are slightly lower.

The cee-lo cd is pretty good; just really busy (i've already gone on and on about in my ljthingy)
so on musiq's new cd (which is pretty tight btw) there's a track, called Future, that starts out with him saying sumthin like, "Yeah Music Soulchild here .." WTF?!?

1. why anyone would drop a name as cool as "Soulchild" is about as stupid as someone disowning "Prince"
2. He really needs to make up his mind about whether he's Musiq or Musiq Soulchild, lest he ends up looking like a fool ... like ... ahem ... Prince.

thanks for the heads up on Cee-Lo and Musiq. I also get annoyed with how he names his titles "juslisen" but then puts "(Just Listen)" afterwards. yes, yes, I get it. that might just be something on the videos though.

btw, do you have D'Angelo's album, Voodoo? If you don't, you should get it, but that's not really my point for bringing it up. In the liner notes, he talks about working with Prince, and makes a comment about how black people still call him Prince and implies that the name change thing is just a game to fck with white people, specifically white record execs who he feels are fcking him over in his contract. After I read about that, I sort of had better respect for his weirdness -- his intent was to make people irritated and challenge their assumptions, and hell, he succeeded quite well.

Yeah, I read that to (and I'm mos def. down with dangelo, questlove, and the whole okayplayer group).

what bothered me about the name change thing is that every time someone asked prince why he did it there was a different reason - it was like he keep trying rationals until he found one that fit and then gave up. just seemed like a punk move to me.

Don't get me wrong I dig prince as an aritst, but the whole record company mess could have been avoided if he simply read the contract he signed in `94 ... and he did keep the money they advanced him, didn't he?

BTW, the Musiq's incorrectspellings (Correct Spellings) are all over the cd too - and it is annoying.
