Just watched Pay It Forward. What a shameless tearjerker. I can't quite remember that last time I was jerked around like that. It happens to me a lot, though. I pay for the privilege. I enjoy it; I don't enjoy it. Some people go for porn, some people go for wrestling. I rent sappy chick flicks.

I told you about watching A.I. We also saw Memento, which I recommend to anyone who likes a tightly wound plot. We rented Bring It On because Duff wouldn't let me get Dude, Where's My Car, saying he'd heard it was "really stupid," (yeah, I know that, I want it anyway; and hey, while we're on the subject, aren't you the same person who made me watch Dumb & Dumber? Aren't you the same guy who used to keep me up at night watching Beavis and Butt-head?), but it was no trouble at all to talk him into renting a CHEERLEADER movie. All I have to say is, "Somebody said it was okay," and suddenly you'd think Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir both had written long odes to this movie in the Partisan Review. He's like, "Step aside, people! We've got a groundbreaking cheerleader movie to rent here! Jean-Paul Sartre says check it out!" I remind myself it's research for my screenplay.

Wow, can you tell it's after midnight? I'm really out of it.

But before I go, I thought I would show you something I found in an old magazine tonight (part of my clean bathroom program). According to an In Style profile of designer Vera Wang:

Black leggings are staples---slimming, elongating, comfortable, and modern. "I buy 50 pairs a year at the Gap. They're like the white shirt of the man's world."

Okay, first of all, dear Vera---haven't you ever heard of a fucking washing machine? Dry cleaners? No human being needs 50 pairs of black leggings in a year. They're not disposable, honey. Second, you're on thin syntactical ice with that last sentence. Be careful out there.

Okay, g'night everybool.
