You can't fool the children of the revolution.

I feel like it's still yesterday. I got home from work (around 6:30 or so), visited with Riley, Vinnie, and Joe a bit, then left to the book-group get-together with MelRo. Quite a fun and quirky set of fabulous fags. I'm already plotting the various comings-outs which will probably happen along the way. But I'm also looking forward to being in a book group.

I basically came home and supposedly had conversations with the tranny boy bunch, but barely remember. I also recall talking to MelRo in bed for awhile, but it seems like it happened weeks ago. Then I woke up at 4 am and was unable to fall back asleep until 5:30 or so. When that alarm went off, I was hurting. And still feeling cruddy. Tonight I'm REALLY making myself stay home and not do anything but sleep or be horizontal on a futon or bed.

I'm working help-desk today, though I don't feel I can be that helpful to folks.

I listened to the Moulin Rouge soundtrack on the way into work this morning. It helped brighten my mood -- that, and getting a seat on an uncrowded train with no delays (I should be late to work EVERY day). Why did I love that movie so much? Critically-speaking, it wasn't the best -- I'm not trying to make revolutionary groundbreak cinematics or anything. But I liked it's over-stylishness and the use of found music. Even the original songs are found -- they pretty much take the familiar, good parts of more modern musicals. What can I say, I'm just a sap, I guess. No apologies.

Just for the record, I've received no e-mail from my parents. Not a reply from the e-mail right before Thanksgiving, or a reply from an email on Monday. I'm trying to learn a lesson here. I'm not sure what it is yet, which is why I'm writing this down.

memories, like the corners of my mind

So Da Man sent me an "afternoon delight" e-mail (our little inside joke -- aren't we such a cute couple??), and this was the best one yet. A flashback from almost a year and a half ago. Of course, some of these things I still say....

With summer almost over, I present:

Waiting for Guffman

For 3 years I have used the classic lines "you're bastard people!" and "i hate your ass-face". But on my 2304987425th viewing of the movie, I decided to dig deeper and examine the other layers of the movie. I first moved on to "Corky we love you! We want you to live!" as well as "Just drive up and get a coke."

Now I pretty much just mine the final scene with Corky in his new theatre shop:

Those are mah big heads.
Kids don't like school, but with a Remains of the Day lunchbox.....
The part of 'enry 'iggins.....the stern taskmaster....

etc. etc.

I'm convinced there are still lines to be found. Though I'm not sure where since I can recite the entire movie from beginning to end. I need the DVD version with extra footage. When will they release it and complete my life???
