"Housework is like bad sex. Every time I do it, I promise I'll never do it again ... until company is coming."

Have you ever watched "Can't Stop the Music?" It's the fake biopic about the Village People. Have you ever asked yourself, "how could America have been so naive?" "Was Hollywood prudish or were we?" Have you ever been totally surprised how much really obscene innuendo that you missed in a seemingly quaint movie? Have you ever seen "Lover Come Back," or "Pillow Talk?" Have you ever found it really, really, really hard to believe that Rock Hudson was gay and Doris Day was not? Did you ever ask yourself did the writers of these movies know that Rock Hudson was going to be in this movie AND that he was gay? Have you ever wondered if Bruce Jenner ever realized at the time (because surely he does now) that short, short cut-off denim shorts and a belly t-shirt are not a good look for an Olympic decathlete? and that this outfit is roughly akin to what Lamar wore in Revenge of the Nerds when he was throwing the javelin?

These are just some of the thoughts that I had while watching "Can't Stop the Music" and "Lover Come Back" because nothing better was on.

Yesterday:
Breakfast - blueberry muffin, coffee with cream and splenda
Lunch - frozen enchilada meal with coke
Dinner - we went out to celebrate my roommate being officially debt-free. I had quesadilla appys, sweet potato fries, half of a pulled pork sandwich, and half a tiramisu dessert. Oh and 2 blue moons. We also played trivia. We came in 4th. We might have done better except that Jason fully believed that Titan was a moon of Jupiter and I had a nagging suspicion that it was Saturn's. But I couldn't justify it and we put Jupiter.

It was Saturn.

Also we couldn't remember the name of the movie Minority Report. I knew that was the movie, but I couldn't remember the name. Clue: what Steven Spielberg movie was originally conceived as a sequel to "Total Recall" and is written by the same author? There was more to the question but that's the gist of it. Also, we missed the 2nd quarter bonus. What actor was originally approached to play Michael Corleone in Godfather? Hint: the person he thought was his mother was actually his grandmother. He thought he was born in New Jersey, but actually he was born in NY, NY. Also he was born in April 1939. He's been nominated for more Oscars than any other actor. A movie for which he won Best Oscar, also won Best Actress. His smile has been described as "sharp." There were more hints. We guessed Robert De Niro, but it was Jack Nicholson.

Can you imagine? Jack Nicholson as Michael Corleone? He might as well be gay.
