Come on skinny love

E-word,

I saw the movie 'Adventureland' with El last night, and while I didn't think it was a very good movie (and I did really like 'Daytrippers' which is by the same director), it left me thinking about how much has passed by in my life. The movie takes place in 1987, and opens with the song 'Bastards of Young' by the Replacements. I mean, while I hate movies that are more soundtracks than movies, the songs kept tripping me up. I was pretty young in 1987 (14), but it didn't seem all that different from 1991, when I graduated from high school. The baggy t-shirts, mix-tapes, the shitty old cars that everyone drove, I lived like that, and I'm sure you did too. My friends who had cars drove the most fantastic beaters- Plymouth Valiants, K-cars, old VW rabbits, VW bugs, and shitty old Camaros. I don't know what changed in our culture that allows for kids to drive new cars, for sure my kids will drive old cars.

Anyway, again this is pointless and meandering, but that damn movie moved me. I couldn't get over the fact that the main girl wore a Husker Du t-shirt, which was obviously the director's wet dream as I'm pretty sure no girls every listened to Husker Du, or ever bought one of their t-shirts. and no matter how unrealistic she was (she's in a movie called twilight or something? Young vampires? I'm quite proud to say I have no idea what that shit is about), I mean, she is a dream girl. God, can you imagine hanging out with a girl who was hot, promiscuous, and wanted to listen to the fucking Replacements? I mean, my god. Little things kept jarring me out of the movie, though. The Husker Du t-shirt was pretty bad, but so was her Gremlin (E-word, did you know anyone with a Gremlin?), and I seem to think that the posters she had up in her room were the posters of a nerd boy, not a hot girl.

Another thing I found pretty unrealistic (and maybe you can sway me on this), but did people really listen to Lou Reed? I was into music back then, but I didn't know a single soul who listened to Lou Reed. But, he was just about 8 years older than me, so maybe his group of folks were more down with the obscurity of Lou Reed.

Anyway, with all that said, I still recommend you see this movie. There is even a dis to Judas Priest which was done brilliantly. And lots of Amadeus.

Happy Thanksgiving, etc.

Love,

Double the Uneasiness

Toe,
I couldn't agree with you more about threesomes. Sure, the fantasy about having two women is nice, but when I contemplate it as a reality, I think it would be a ridiculous amount of work, unless the women were completely and utterly focused on me. Again, nice fantasy. But with two guys and a woman? No, no, no. I can't imagine being aroused in the same room as a guy, never mind getting it on. That's about all I have to say about it. I think it may be something to do with being in competition with the other guy. I don't know, and I don't really have any interest in exploring it.

Congrats on moving into the house. I hope to visit sometime in the future, perhaps after you're feeling more settled. It looks like C and I will not be coming east for the holidays. It will be the first time we have not traveled for Xmas since we moved into our house--which was the reason we didn't travel that time, because we were in the process of moving. I'll miss seeing family, but I'm looking forward to just chilling out, taking some time off, and maybe putting up some fucking decorations for once.

It is a rainy-ass day here. I kind of like it, though, and am thinking of taking the dog for a walk. I like how the rain doesn't seem to affect him, and take heart from his attitude.

I'll write more soon. Thanks for the interesting sex topic.
Love,

Two chicks at the same time.

E-word,

I just read a stupid article about threesomes, and it made me think back to see if the opportunity ever came up, and I realized it did, once. It wasn't the more ideal two girls one guy thing (which I would still decline, that's just more stress than I can handle), it was two guys and one girl. I think some girls really like the attention, or something. Anyway, I had (and have) no interest in seeing a girl getting railed while give a blowjob (two dicks is one too many!), but I've known a couple of dudes who were into it. Those dudes said they were assured of their sexuality, but there has got to be an element of gayness in wanting to watch a dude fuck a girl in person, I mean, there is really just one degree (orifice?) of separation, or whatever.

God, this is stupid. Anyway, we moved into our house completely. It is a disaster area still, and we don't have nearly enough furniture. It's nice, though.

Love,

Toe
