update
| I saw Strangers with Candy tonight. It was playing at the Crest, which is an independent moviehouse, because apparently it was an independent film. The previews were for a movie about sexual awakening in middle age in the midwest (Oh in Ohio) and Almodovar's films that are being rereleased... sort of a strange introduction for a movie mostly about fat, racist and sex jokes. It was a classless film, but very enjoyable, if you're into that sort of thing (I am). They got everyone but Orlando in the film, and some fun guest stars: Allison Janey, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Sara Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, Kirsten Johnson. I'm glad Sterling thought of taking me. In fact, he paid for the whole evening, picked me up, took me to eat (Pyramids... a beer place, but the pizza was most excellent), and paid for the film. It was awesome. We sort of made up following my emotional email outburst, I mean we're both fine, but we didn't really deal with it.
In other news, the end of August is coming up! Trip! Soon! Yay!
It's interesting. Ed and I (like all -proper- mixed sex friendships) live under the fiction that we find eachother ridiculously attractive and it's only circumnstance that keeps us from a TORRENT OF PLEASURE. I like that. I like having at least one person who will make me feel attractive, even if it's empty bullshit, it's -nice-. Of course now that we'll be actually -seeing- one another a new element of uncertainty has been added to the mix. What if we're not joking? What if we are? What if one is doing the former and the other the latter? WHAT THEN (obviously then the world ends)? I was going to call this russian roulette but... that's a lie, it's nothing so serious. It's more like playing Spin the Bottle in in 8th or 9th grade. You get all dressed up for the party, and then you hope for the best. And asside from all the awkwardness and awfulness of being this age and playing that game (and there is a lot, really), the excitment is pretty fun, eh?
Well, I'm excited. I mean, it's Ed! I talk to him almost every single day, so you know that even in the lulls of the day we'll be able to talk about stuff (I like stuff, don't you? Well I don't like all stuff, some stuff, I'm not so excited about). I also plan on bringing cards, because he's fresh meat (better work on your card skillz, my man), I know a lot of card games... hrm better bring two decks. I know he's worried about entertaining me, but what he fails to realize is that I LIVE ALONE WITH MY HAMSTER, I am perfectly capable of finding amusment in the very little.
In other news: I have Gnarls Barkley and this album is awesome (I like Go Go Gadget Gospel), so much fun to dance to, I also have Dr Buzzard's Original "Savannah" band, and THAT is awesome (along with If I were a Carpenter, Singin' in the Rain by Mint Royale, California Dreamin' by Royal Gigolos, Out of the Races and Onto the Track by the Rapture). Good music makes me happy, I've been boppin' 'round the house for DAYS now.
And Lastly: Adrian suddenly became a VERY fragrant hamster while I was at my parents' house. I had to spray everything in my apartment to cut down on his Eau. Being a hamster mommy has its downsides

Honestly, I'm not sure I can live up to the hamster. I'm hardly adorable, and my cheeck pouches hold a pathetic amount of food relative to my size. I also suck at burrowing.
But the torrent of pleasure, that I can do.
