cheetara: I have a dinner idea me: oh me: what cheetara: it is very exciting cheetara: pork ginger cheetara: grilled ginger teriyaki pork tenderloin me: ok cheetara: and an appetizer of shumai me: you're going to make this cheetara: what do you think? me: / me: ? cheetara: no me: sounds tasty cheetara: I was thinking of making pork for idinner actually cheetara: but I didn't feel like going to the market in the rain cheetara: so I'll order in pork cheetara: later cheetara: when I'm hungry cheetara: I'm sleepy cheetara: starting next week I'm going to cook once or twice a wekk cheetara: I'm stupid for not cooking more cheetara: week of course not wekk me: cooking can be a hassle though. me: if you're just cooking for one cheetara: yes ... and not fun when you are only one cheetara: lol cheetara: there you go me: we're goodl cheetara: those great minds again cheetara: maybe I'm depressed today by the melting of the ice shelf cheetara: and the discontinuation of air cover in ny me: of all the things...what air cover in ny? cheetara: the patrolling f16s and f15s me: oh, you mean they're stopping fighter jets over the city cheetara: yes cheetara: uggh cheetara: maybe I should have just never gotten out of bed today me: i thought you meant like the ice shelf was going to suck all the oxygen away from the NY metro area me: confused me cheetara: sorry ... 2 separate thoughts cheetara: I'm clearly experiencing anxiety of several fronts today cheetara: maybe I'll turn into one of those people that can't leave their apartment because they are so anxious about everything me: i'll come and visit you, unless that makes you anxious too cheetara: no I think I'd be ok with that cheetara: and another thinkg cheetara: thing cheetara: I'm not impressed by the imminent re-release of E.T. cheetara: E.T. is ugly and freaky looking cheetara: maybe I need paxil me: as if hollywood's sequel mania weren't enough of a monument to anticreativity, now they just refurbish old movies and pad them with extra scenes and we're supposed to shell out to see them again. Outrageous! cheetara: my feelings exactly me: I've been thinking about Ecstasy, actually. cheetara: I saw kissing jessica stein today did I tell you? me: yes cheetara: ecstasy the drug? me: yes cheetara: you would do it? me: probably not cheetara: oh me: not with other people around, anyway cheetara: lol me: but i'd think about it cheetara: obviously ... as you are thinking about it cheetara: I wouldn't take paxil cheetara: or any of these other mood-altering prescription drugs cheetara: d. thinks I should speak to a therapist about my feelings about g.'s weddin cheetara: wedding me: do you have a therapist? cheetara: no cheetara: so that would be a slippery slope cheetara: IM is my therapy me: i've never been enthralled with the idea myself cheetara: I don't believe in therapy cheetara: unless you have MAJOR issues cheetara: a lot of people have therapists though cheetara: P. the other day mentioned his therapist twice cheetara: which was odd me: if I'm not willing to talk about my personal problems with friends, why should I pay someone to listen to them? cheetara: so finally he asked me if I had one ... as if this was normal me: i keep a very occasional diary which is sometimes helpful. cheetara: and seemed mildly surprised that I didn't have one cheetara: I do keep an occasional diary as well cheetara: so then cheetara: today in kissing jessica stein cheetara: the "so then" actually doesn't go there me: just to express ideas in concrete form and see them; helps externalize them enough to think less passionately about them. cheetara: there was a good line me: tell me the line cheetara: when helen asked jessica what her therapist thought about her burgeoning lesbian relationship cheetara: and jessica said "I haven't spoken to my therapist about it" cheetara: and helen says "why not" me: it's personal me: ! cheetara: yep cheetara: it's too personal me: that was in the preview cheetara: whatever cheetara: it's still funny me: it's like the one funny line in the film, i'm sure cheetara: some funny moments in the movie cheetara: no me: oh okay cheetara: there are some other funny moments cheetara: but not a great movie over all cheetara: several times I thought we were at the end of the movie cheetara: and we weren't cheetara: and then when it ended I was surprised, because that didn't seem like a logical place to end the movie cheetara: the movie offended my need for closure cheetara: oh ... one of the other good lines cheetara: which was also in the preview cheetara: was jessica's grandmother seeing helen after jessica comes out and she says "I don't know what jessica sees in her ... she's too flat-chested." cheetara: if you want I can tell you the WHOLE movie and then you never need to see it EVER me: no thank you cheetara: I should have gone to go see y tu mama tambien cheetara: do you want to know the end? me: does she stay a lesbian? cheetara: do you really want to know? me: i won't see the movie, so while I can't say it matters greatly to me, it doesn't hurt me any to know. cheetara: no she does not cheetara: helen breaks up with her me: ah ha! i halfway suspect willow might convert back too cheetara: because they rarely have sex cheetara: and they are essentially best friends cheetara: and so the movie ends with jessica bumping into the guy that confessed his love her her like a year before me: so it's just kind of an anti "chasing amy" where she starts out gay and goes back to being gay after a good but not great attempt at a straight relationship cheetara: never saw chasing amy me: it's by far the best of the kevin smith movies me: and by far the best movie I've ever seen with ben affleck in it me: b/c it was made before he became Ben Affleck. cheetara: so the last scene is of jessica meeting helen for coffee and helen hangs up with her girlfriend (that jessica says hello to) and then they start talking about jessica bumping into josh meyer cheetara: because ... they are best friends cheetara: I want to see chasing movie cheetara: chasing amy cheetara: what else has kevin smith directed me: clerks, mallrats, dogma, jay and slient bob strike back cheetara: ahhhhhh me: clerks was great, the rest were not, except for chasing amy cheetara: I saw clerks cheetara: I want to see dogma cheetara: I like religion movies me: well, i think i'm going to log off now. me: and order some thai food cheetara: oh no cheetara: but you were comforting me in my anxiety ridden day me: ok cheetara: no non o cheetara: I'm much better cheetara: in large part to you cheetara: thank you cheetara: you and the pork plan me: and the bath plan cheetara: those things have improved matters cheetara: and the bath plan me: were you the person who asked me recently when I'd last had a tub bath? cheetara: did I tell you I drank so much last night that I puked cheetara: yes cheetara: sorry cheetara: that was funny me: yes you did cheetara: and you wouldn't answer me: you shouldn't drink so much cheetara: no I shouldn't me: it's not safe cheetara: well cheetara: I was with a friend cheetara: he was as drunk as me cheetara: he brought me home to make sure I was ok cheetara: and while I puked in my bathroom cheetara: he passed out on my bed cheetara: hahahahaha me: hmm cheetara: very adult behavior on my part cheetara: so cheetara: today is an alcohol free day cheetara: hooray me: i'm sure your liver says hooray, even if the rest of you wants a drink cheetara: the princess bride is on the family channel tonight me: aw, that's nice. isn't it a shame that what's his name got all old and puffy and is on the X Files now? cheetara: he's on the x files now? cheetara: wesley? cheetara: dread pirate roberts? cheetara: really? me: ye me: s me: plays a bad FBI agent cheetara: I haven't watched the xfiles in like 5,000 years me: lol me: that's a long timem cheetara: yep cheetara: haven't watched it since I was nefertiti cheetara: what's his character name? me: oh I forget. Agent Roberts or something. cheetara: assistant director brad follmer me: Assistant Director Brad Follmer me: oh me: fooey cheetara: lol cheetara: x-files has a good website cheetara: of course it would me: I went to IMDB cheetara: I went to thexfiles.com me: there's a making of princess bride documentary apparently me: from last year cheetara: hmmmmm cheetara: that makes no sense me: it's on the special edition dvd cheetara: ahhh cheetara: but wouldn't it have to be made while the movie was being made me: His father (Cary's) was named Domonic. Isn't that a little too close to Demonic for comfort? Maybe he's the antichrist. cheetara: lol cheetara: too funny cheetara: oh weird me: what? cheetara: p. will be in this eric bogosian play in princeton cheetara: and I was just checking the website cheetara: and one of his costars is a series regular on The American Embassy me: and cary elwes is in it? me: oh, did you watch that? me: which regular? cheetara: no it was more the american embassy reference cheetara: as we had talked about it last week cheetara: no I haven't watched it cheetara: I don't know me: what's the website cheetara: it doesn't say me: the show sucks, I've decided cheetara: for the play? cheetara: www.mccarter.org me: oooh, it's Reiko aylesworth me: she's lovely cheetara: yeah cheetara: you know her? me: the only reason I might keep watching the Am Embassy me: good thing her father was okay with "ko" cheetara: lol cheetara: so how do you know her? me: she's the one in the American Embassy me: I've seen 2 episodes cheetara: the what one? cheetara: the main character? me: you said before "one of P.'s costars is in the american embassy" me: she's the one me: the costar me: of P.'s cheetara: yes I know cheetara: but me: that's how I know her cheetara: you went "ooh reiko blah blah blah ... she's lovely" cheetara: had you notice dher on the show? me: yes me: we've never met in real life cheetara: ahhhhhhhh cheetara: gotcha me: i did not tell her to hold my beer while I relieved myself cheetara: fuck off cheetara: lol cheetara: I don't remember telling you the detailed complete story of meeting p. cheetara: how funny cheetara: she plays emma's flatmate, who is an over-achieving but guarded vice-consul me: yeah, the show would be way better if it didn't revolve around Emma, if it was more a balanced ensemble. cheetara: couldn't comment cheetara: never saw it me: And they try to do the humor/serious thing a la Ally, but when you set a show in the US embassy in London, you just CAN'T have an embassy bombing one scene, a vibrator joke the next. Not in this day and age. cheetara: no you can't me: so. cheetara: boy we have learnt a lot online together me: it's been a productive day. me: but we both must order our dinners... cheetara: do you know that richard dreyfuss made his motion picture debut with a bit part in "Valley of the Dolls" me: nope. very curious cheetara: ok cheetara: last comment before we log off me: it turns out i don't have enough cash for my thai dinner plans...the dilemma: go to ATM or just boil some linguine...what would you do? cheetara: well cheetara: it's not raining anymore cheetara: but I would boil linguine me: i haven't been outside all day, maybe going out would be good for me cheetara: I have a tummy ache me: or maybe the cold would morph into pneumonia cheetara: well it's not as gross as it was before me: i'm wish your tummy didn't ache cheetara: so I was dating this guy chris a while ago for a brief while cheetara: and he's applying to law school as well cheetara: and he got into pepperdine cheetara: I just checked cheetara: pepperdine is ranked 106th cheetara: I too wish my tummy wouldn't ache me: so, is he going to pepperdine? cheetara: well, he's waiting to hear form other schoosl cheetara: but cheetara: I'm thinking cheetara: I'm whining that I haven't heard from yale, harvard or columbia cheetara: but I have gotten into the number 2 school in the country cheetara: why will you be in bosotn on monday me: client breakfast meeting on tuesday, i'm going to go for the weekend, just for a change of scenery me: taking monday off, hanging out cheetara: like me and dc cheetara: ok cheetara: the suspense is killing me cheetara: what will you do for dinner me: I'm going to log off when we say bye and go get some money and order thai food. cheetara: ok cheetara: well cheetara: we can say bye me: okay, hang in there. cheetara: I am going to draw my bath me: it's going to be okay cheetara: thanks joe cheetara: I feel better me: use pastels cheetara: hahahaha me: have a good night cheetara: you too |
