designing women
Jennie and Donald keep tormenting me about the DVD they just bought from Amazon.com: the 120 min. David Lynch director's cut of "Skullfucker". It includes bloopers, comments from the actors and producers, behind-the-scenes outtakes and artist sketches of the characters. Donald keeps saying he can't find it, and Jennie keeps saying she gave it to Donald. Fine, be that way. If I ever get to see it I'm going to recommend my roomate Rick gets it put on the Reel Affirmations Film Festival lineup.
Speaking of skulls, the geek posse will be headin' down to the National Gallery of Art to see the Quest for Immortality exhibit which ends soon. Thanks to Mark, we got tickets. Jon will be studying very carefully to help flesh out his Pharohesque D&D character, Khyan. Brian is such a history geek that he will have that geeky set of tour guide headphones on the whole time. Apparently the exhibit is as extensive as the famous King Tut world tour, but goes into several kings' reigns instead of just one.
Kurt gives back what Michael Jackson stole from crotch grabbing. Michael blows me away with the down-low on that bitch Tina. Jocko soon to run wild with the woofs.
Sanctuary or Swanktuary? Pristine wilderness fall colors or crazy, chaotic urban jungle? Decisions, decisions...I haven't been backpacking all summer, and I had promised myself to do so. This may be my last weekend with the car. Both destinations are a long drive. Actually, if I went to NYC I'd probably take the bus. The drive almost killed me last time...hated it and it was damn expensive. Better to let someone else drive.
Sounds like the start of a joke: a cheesehead walks into a bar, and there sits a guy from the Bronx and a polite southern gurl. How do they interact without offending each other? Jonno raises the interesting question. We do act differently. Even on the West coast they act differently: no protocol whatsoever, which infuriates DC citizens. New Yorkers seem rash as they don't have the time for niceties. Southern gurls are shockingly polite, but if you really want to get to know one, you gotta get in through the back door. Northern folks say it like it is, and can often offend with their barbaric bluntness.
I just hate it when Southern gurls get sloppy drunk and start acting like Suzanne Sugarbakker from Designing Women. I can't stand that. Must be a cultural thing.
Chris Meloni? Yes, hot as hell. I'll be his jailbait. Here's an tasteful artsy desktop wallpaper image of him I came across the other day.

Yes, sloppy drunk Southern gurls is a cultural thing. It comes from our repressed upbringing as Southern Baptist or Church of Christ. By the time we are able to be ourselves, we lose all control.
By the way, the biggest difference between a Northerner and a Southerner? A Yankee will just tell you to go to hell, a Southerner will do the same thing, but will do so genteely.
