Movie
Late night last night. Beer on my birthday at Boston Pizza. Then a trip to Walmart and stayed with Sa. Too much wine I think.
Just watched American Beauty. Miles ahead of most normal Hollywood movies, of course. Quite good. But when the main character opens the shirt of the teenage girl and she admits to being a virgin, and then he stops his seduction, and gains a moment of nirhvana before he dies, well, that wasn't quite right, was it. The revenge of conventional morality. No wonder, really, it was stretching the limits as it was. A repressed marine colonel guilty of allowing his homosexuality to appear - that is a "good" villian. Can't have a "bad" villian. The evil can not be in the character. The evil, if that is the right word (and its not), can not be among us. The audience, the predominant moral world view can not be threatened, and it wasn't. Shaken a bit, and a worthwhile movie.
And that's okay.
185 pounds this morning.
Had to walk back from Walmart around the lake in my night before clothes. Enormous bowel movement, but good, on arrival back at home. Condom usage has increased by a large percentage basis.
21 cents short at Extra Foods, but paid it later.
Did my 60 minutes and 850 calories despite the lack of sleep and the hang over.
