the heavy shame
I had dinner at Mike's last night and he showed me the "highlights" from the first two episodes of Joe Millionaire, which he had TiVo'd. Hmmm. I dunno. I was a lot less interested in it than I thought I would be. I have seen Elimidate, after all, and I expect wall to wall cat fights and over the top slutty behavior from people who want to fight over a man while also being seen on television. I appreciated that Fox put the presumed "gold diggers" to work shovelling shit (literally, in a couple of cases), but I got bored with the shots of "introspective Joe Millionaire", silhouetted on his balcony, brooding about lying to the contestants on a TV game show. Er, reality show I guess. Whatever. I wondered how many of the remaining five women were even still interested... but then, what do people want out of this? I guess we're meant to think they are going to get married? Maybe there was some explanation and I missed it.
I also got way too into a game of checkers with a five year old last night. I couldn't decide if I should let him win or not, then I got caught up in the game (although, I also kept cautioning him if he was about to make a move that looked questionable). Yes checkers, yes a five year old, yes I did eventually win, but it was all kind of horrible. The kid is competitive I tell you, once it looked like I would win he seemed to have a real internal crisis, a real problem of seeing any point in the game.
So, this Hell House documentary here sounds kinda interesting. Anyone seen it, or better yet gone through or performed in one of these joints? I'd like to see something like this actual show they put on someday, nosy voyeur that I am.
I have been letting world events get to me lately. I am a thin-skinned "maroon", is what it is. The thing may be to always be more relaxed and casual. More casual about the Chinese, more casual about the checkers. Stop worrying about the North Koreans and the Middle East. It's not like I come to any conclusions or hold any opinions anyway. And I can't say that I ever really take any action. Wishy washy, y'know? But sometimes I like to ramble, and I always got questions.
Oh but this Pink Pistols business... this, I like. Even if I do always question that saying that "an armed society is a polite society". Maybe I need to read more L. Neil Smith.
