Date? Not a date?

How do you know if you're going on a date or if it's just two friends who haven't seen each other in a long time getting together for dinner and a movie?

And if you question why that line is blurry to me you have a lot to learn....

Me, Bree, and Sex With Men

I knew there was a reason why I resonated with Bree from Desperate Housewives and it was in the line from tonight's episode:

I love sex. I love everything about it: the sensations, the smells. I especially love the feel of a man. All that muscle and sinew pressed against my body. And then when you add friction. MMMmmmm. The tactile sensation of running my tongue over a man's nipple ever so gently. And then there's the act itself; two bodies becoming one in that final eruption of pleasure. To be honest, the only thing I don't like about sex is the scrotum. I mean obviously it has its practical applications but I'm just not a fan.

And it's not that I disagree with her on the scrotum but having seen a few that have made me wonder...I do understand.

Things I Hate Vol. 1

I hate it when I see a really hot ass on a guy and proceed to stalk it for as long as I can before I have to veer off in another direction only to find out that the guy's face isn't so hot...

...Or the ass belongs to a guy on the floor that I'm working on this week...

Gossip...

I'm convinced that men gossip more than women.

I know you don't want all of the details but I think more people should think twice about telling their latest bedroom escapades in the company bathroom. Especially a company bathroom with floor to ceiling stall walls and doors so you can't tell if anyone is in there.

So to that guy that had a lot of fun last night with the married woman...bravo! (At least I think she's married you were leaving before you got to the good stuff...)

Ribbit....Ribbit...Croak

It's going to be very interesting at work today since Paris just lost their 2012 Olympic bid (for the uninitiated, I work at a French bank).

I wonder if they will be bitter, sad, or even both.

I'm voting both...although I think a large part is due to the fact that they (as well as myself) bought into their hype as being the wire-to-wire favorite. I'm dying to see the final vote tally to see how close it was at the end...

I'm predicting a three vote margin of victory....

So I had a date...

Again not gonna give real names, but we can call him Nurse since that is his occupation. You know, I fear more and more that I am morphing into Karen Walker from Will & Grace with her constant references to Driver and Pharmacist (and Back-Up Pharmacist)...

Anyway...we had dinner (after two aborted attempts due to places being closed for the Fourth or just not found) and had some great conversations sprinkled with gentle teasing. My favorite (although for some it's not so funny) was his response to my question as to why he shouldn't have his watermelon margarita -- “Well I haven't had a drink in a long time...”

“Why?” I asked.

“We'll I'm an alcoholic.”

As I was digesting that tidbit of information and wondering what if anything I was going to say, Nurse smiled and said, “I'm joking! And to think you were going to let me drink alcohol after saying that...”

Like I also said, we went to see Crash which again I can't urge you enough to go see. We both got caught up in the same parts and figured out a few of the twists (although not the twists to some of the twists) and both agreed that we HAD to get it on DVD and pray that there will be an extended director's cut.

After the movie he got invited down by friends to a bar where Latin porn stars were having a wet underwear contest. Sadly as I had to be at work at the crack of ass I had to decline the invite...

All in all not a bad date and a good time was had by all but I'm not gonna wait for the cell phone to ring and have it be him. I am, after all, still a little cynical.

Crash...Bang...Boom...

I just saw the movie Crash and I haven't been THIS moved by a movie or more compelled to tell people to go see it since I saw Thelma and Louise when it first came out back in 1991.

Emotional roller coaster isn't even the beginning words I would use to describe this one...utterly fucking amazing, however, ARE the beginning words. The casting was entirely perfect for this film and while some parts of the plot made a few future events predictable when you got to the predictable parts there was always something to give it that extra added punch that said “you might have thought this was coming but you were wrong...”

Most importantly though it dealt VERY frankly with race relations in this country and how we treat each other whether directly or indirectly. It was more than a little sobering to see it played out on a big screen and as much as I would like to believe that 90+ percent of our country isn't like some of the portrayals I saw tonight, I pretty much know that I would be wrong.

I hope Paul Higgis (and if the directors name is wrong I'll correct it later as I'm writing this on the subway ride home) puts out a four hour director's cut of this film so we can see everything that he had to leave on the cutting room floor...

P.S. Despite the fact that this can't really be called a “date” movie, I did in fact have a first date to see this film...I'll tell more tomorrow...
