The Kid From Third Rock From the Sun....

... got hot.

I went to see Mysterious Skin last night.

It was difficult but good.

Prostitution on film is never easy. I was thinking, though, that there's this whole element of people who are into this sort of thing and I have no idea who they are or how they know about their options.

In movies, people always seem to just "know" who is a prostitute. And they're like "Hey, you, I'll pay $50." Like how do they know? Is it really just writing on bathroom walls? Is there some signal I don't know about it?

Nevertheless, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is beautiful. The movie was challenging. It dealt with a horrific subject matter in a non-melodramatic and interesting way. It was understated and sentimental without being cheesy.

I don't know if you should see it. It drains you. It hurts. It's lovely.

I am going to get my hair cut now so I can look cute for N's first wedding this weekend!

if you got a dog, maybe you could blame that smell in your apartment on the dog.

I cannot figure out if this anonymous person is being a jerk or just joking around. I think it's because I don't know who it is, so I don't know if s/he is a jokey person or a jerk.
