No More Casual Dates
02/28/2002 - 7:36p.m.
Today I realized that I am not going to be going on any casual dates for the forseeable future. I guess that should have penetrated through to my brain earlier, but it didn't. That's assuming, of course, that things with Miss Jetsetter keep going the way they've been going, which is very well indeed, as long as I remember I'm with her and don't wander off into some semi-autistic haze...... No reason why they wouldn't, that I can see, but, who knows?
And it seemed I was just getting the hang of this casual dating thing. Ahh well - I think that's a skill I can live without.
And here's a totally unexpected hidden bonus - Miss J used to be a cook. Dinner last night was mighty fine indeed.

I saw Metropolis earlier this week with Sparkley Coworker. Yeah, yeah, I know, just a couple weeks ago I was all muddled about whether going out with her was a date or not, and now here I am all boyf/girlf-ed up, and I'm going out with Sparkley again. But, it's cool, cuz, you know, it wasn't a date - just a coupla work pals hanging. As much as I dig her, there's just nothing going to happen there - she's all moony over a boy, I'm all moony over a girl, and we work together. So we're pals, and pals can do stuff like go to the movies. Red has spoken.
This was the best print of Metropolis I have ever seen - recently worked on by a bunch of actual Germans, they restored many long-lost sequences (including the famous striptease, which I had never seen before - it was simultaneously hotter and sillier than I expected). In the places where meaningful sections were lost, they had titles explaining what was missing. This cleared up a lot of mysterious plot points that had caused much overcrankage in Red's plot-hole-ebrum. (That's the part of the brain that says "Hey, how did that guy get her phone number when she said in the first 10 minutes that her # was unlisted?" and such-like.) Also very swank was that they had a fellow playing the score on piano, and he played for the entire 2 hours and 10 minutes of the running time. That was extra ginchy.
The best part, though, was that the titles were in German. There was also a German fellow doing simultaneous translation, some of which wasn't so hot, in my opinion, because he lost some of the strength by translating things like "Tiefe" as "down below" rather than "the depths." It was fun to hear that groovy German accent again, too.
Other things I like this week:
My new main squeeze. Probably goes without saying.....
My pants being a bit too big all of a sudden. They're not that big, yet, but some, which is gin-gin-ginchy.
Tangelos
Listening to the 45 of "Black Betty" by Ram Jam at 33. (Thanks to Dark Mickey for this tip.)
The Nothing Man by Jim Thompson
Seeing the providers of some of my fave D'land pals in my stat history - at least, the ones I'm sure of.
Laughing uproariously at this entry on the White Stripes guestbook: "Keep doing it for the music, not for the money." Sure, musicians love starving...... they do. Honest.
Finally being over that succubus who bewitched me in January.
Yesterday's snow storm that lasted for several hours and still managed to leave no snow on the ground. A little snow accumulation would have been ok, but this was as close to a perfect snow as you can get.....
Crystal Light Raspberry Ice Low Calorie Soft Drink. The god of soft drinks has smiled on me and created a non-sugary drink without the devil aspartame.
Radiskull and Devil Doll - yeah, yeah, they've been around for a long time, and I'm sure all you hip kids know about 'em already, but I was reminded of 'em the other day and I am re-enjoying them in all their demonic glory!
Music to enumerate good things by:
Clock DVA - "Dark Encounter" (Advantage)
"In here it's warm, the lights are soft..... I see the picture on your table of the other man....."
