what comes between you and your fake bvd's

i wanted to post two quick little things before i spent the day, literally, in the clinic. sometimes things occur to me, when i'm sitting around the house (ok, so sitting around the house wasted) and i think to myself, oh my god i have to put that on the blog. and then i pass out. well, i think i pass out. i certainly black out, so there's no telling what happens. i wake up bruised to find three immigrant workers laying in bed next to me, so...

anyway, i had a very nice, quiet night to myself. i snuggled up on the couch under an afghan (the blanket kind, not like osama) and watched some queer as folk, which i'm still watching obsessively but am nearly done with. i picked up my knitting (i've been jokingly calling it punk rock knitting, but who am i kidding? it's knitting.) and then it hit me:

I AM SUCH A HOMO.

i'm sitting here on a couch under an afghan knitting and watching queer as folk until the apprentice: martha stewart comes on television. oh. my. god.

that's one.

this morning i was watching the today show and matt lauer (who's on his where on earth could matt lauer possibly be tour and is currently in shanghai) was interviewing a guy who's an expert on chinese consumerism. the guy was explaining why victoria's secret, or vicki c's, as hilary and i call it, was a failure in china. "well, the chinese are all about showing off," he said. "when it comes to things they can show off, they'll spend lots of money. but when it comes to things no one's going to see, they're very very cheap." he actually said the word cheap. "so, you can imagine, when it comes to something as private as underwear, they're not going to spend a lot of money."

i thought, where is george when i need him!? i always give george shit for being "a bigger jew than i am," because he's literally among the cheapest people i've ever met. i love you, george, but seriously. now i know, thanks to matt lauer, that it's cultural. george can't help that his people wear cheap underwear.
