Something's Gotta Give

Unlike my lewd and unusually tawdry annual sexcapades during Christmas, my Chinese New Year celebrations are practically monastic in comparison. Familial gatherings, mandarin oranges, dvd movies and nary an open condom wrapper in sight. Like any other time of the year, my particularly hideous homely features tends to be overlooked by perpetually horny men in search of a good time.

I know... sometimes, I gotta say I prefer Christmas too. :)

Still it gives me time to reflect and catch up with some of the movies I've missed - and obviously some of the movies I loved in the past few years. Not to mention some of the good friends from my childhood who have joined me in my mission to finish an extended Lord of the Rings marathon tonight - along with a generous helping of yee sang and alcohol. Ever since my revelation last year, some of these friends are already privy to the fact that I'm a raging homo so I can lust quite openly ( within the narrow borders of proper conduct of course ) over the charms of a certain blond elf called Legolas :)


Come take my cherry, sir?
Before the whole gang descended upon my place, I spent the early part of the day sighing over Keanu Reeves in Something's Gotta Give where he plays a charming, intelligent doctor who falls for the older woman played by a particularly luminous Diane Keaton. The ending never fails to amaze me as it seems almost incredible that someone would choose the surly aging playboy ( played by Jack Nicholson ) over the sweet doctor. If the doctor had only been a pretty face, it would have been an obvious choice. But dammit, he had looks, he had charm, he had brains... the lucky bastard had the whole package and yet he was overlooked for Jack Nicholson, of all people!

Certainly no accounting for taste!
