True story.
I offered to watch my neighbor's son one evening. His communion was the next day and his folks were preparing for a celebratory brunch. I figured he could come over and play with my son while they got their house ready. His mother asked if he could come over in his pajamas.
I responded "Sure, it's Michael Jackson night at our crib". A good time was had by all. And no we did not get in my bed.

So more quality time this weekend with The Modelchic. Saturday night We hung out at La Passage in the back room and she entertained the troops by doing some hot dancing on their little stage for lack of a better term. Only women are allowed up there. Which is fine because it kept me from having to show my dance moves or lack thereof to the whole room.
She kept me out until 4 am. Although I had to be up early to coach my son's softball team, she guilted me into staying by calling me old man.
The Modelchic knows how to push all the right buttons.
Last night we went to see the movie Crash. I thought it had some compelling stories but it was a 90 minute movie stretched into two hours. It was interesting watching it with The Modelchic because we happen to be an interracial couple.
Ooops I referred to us as a couple without her permission. Now I'm probably in big trouble.
Anyway the movie discusses racism as it plays out in everyday life. I kept wondering if The Modelchic was asking herself if I was like the racist characters in the movie. I noticed after we left the theatre that she did refer to me as whiteboy. I'm kidding.
Anyway, if you want to see a pretentious movie because it has something of importance to say, go see the movie. If you don't like pretension skip it. It's better than Grand Canyon but not a must see flick.
One oddity. I think this is the first movie I've seen on a date in like two years. Last one I saw "Monster's Ball". Oddly enough that was about an interracial romance and now I'm in one. Come to think of it, that story said alot more about racism and how we view people that are different a lot better than Crash did. And it did it without being half as pretentious. Plus Halle Barry got nekkid.
I still say she deserved that Oscar just for seeming to be in climax with Billy Bob Thornton. Now THAT was acting my friends.
Ok back to work.

Oh my aching head. It feels like somebody dumped Nebraska on it.
No it's not what you're thinking. I'm not hungover although I did drink last night. I went to the U-2 concert and sat mega close to the stage. Unfortunately, I didn't bring ear plugs and 12 hrs later my ears are still ringing. I'm at the age where I need to take ear plugs to concerts and apparently also at the age where I can't remember to bring them.
Anyway the concert was awesome, save the usual Bono lecturing of us on all of his myopic world views. Maybe that's why he wears them wiggy glasses. Political myopia.
Spare me the lecture on people having the right to be free when you didn't want Iraqis to be free you Lear Jet Liberal numbskull.
As the book says "shut up and sing."
Besides the music is much more inspirational for your message than your speaking is.
After the show, the Modelchic and I went to the Matchbox on Ogden. It's one of my favorite haunts and it's tiny. She liked it even though it was madd crowded. For a change the two bartending bitches were nice to me. Probably because when the Modelchic is with me I command respect.
More on the Modelchic later.

Just wondering:
When they have to change a tire on a jet, how does that work?
Do they have to take all the luggage out so they can get to the jack? And then do they jack the plane up?
