Steve bought me Batman Begins and a training manual for my birthday. (13 DAYS) Reg and I watched it last night. I mean, we saw it in the theater too. I still like it. I'm not sure how Cillian Murphy gets cast as psycho creeps instead of as Victorian Gentlemen, and I can't help seeing him both ways.

Actually, in The Descent of Women, there's an interesting explanation about sex and violence. Starting with the whole aquatic ape theory, the genitals of humans are unlike every other landbound mammal, ventral instead of dorsal. So we had to start fucking from the front to have descendents, and women didn't like that. Meaning the orgasms didn't migrate immediately to the clitoris - the female body was slow to change. Anyway moving from doggie style to missionary was kind of scary for women, and only men who disregarded their cries at the time left descendents. Of course they had to be nice after and before, in order to keep having more descendents. So kissing and hugging and foreplay and eventually love developed to counteract scary sex.

IIRC, Cillian Murphy auditioned for the role of Batman, and was given the villain role as a consolation prize...or something.

Really? Apparently Christian Bale was looking at it RIGHT ABOUT when he was doing the Machinist, where he's even thinner than Murphy.

Sex & The City has tried to make us believe that for a woman, 39 means extinction, not 29.

Nobody would give you a day over 24. Serious.
When exactly is the date (I'm bad at math)? Let me know so I can say all those things that humans usually say at those occasions.
Are you going to have a party?

You must have really fallen in love with that place.

Just pray that they still have snow by then. It's on the dry side of the mountains.

Cool theory that aquatic ape. Maybe Atlantis only metaphorically sank like our bubbles tend to burst. It was lost because we left the sea.
