I say again, just heal already

The director of the play changed the rehearsal schedule this week and forgot to tell me so I drove all the way down to Independence tonight for nothing. La-dee-freakin'-da. So I just came back home and copped two more hours of sleep, which I needed since I'd only gotten four that day, due to not being able to see the dentist for my checkup until 11:30. He says I'm doing a lot better than he expected, which is good. The soreness is becoming real annoying, though. And while I am eating solid food with no problems so far, it is still an uncomfortable experience. Given how much pleasure I derive from eating, this makes me pretty unhappy. But I'm thankful it's not worse and definately thankful I'm free of that damn codine.

Just discovered there's a Crane vs. Lion L5R tournament at the local game store this weekend and I've got Friday night plans with Lesley, so it looks like I'll actually have things to go out and do this weekend instead of just sitting and playing on the computer or PS2. Meanwhile, I continue to talk to Carrie via e-mail about our past and present. We've moved onto the topic of our past romantic relationship finally, putting us at the meat of the problem. This should be interesting...

Anyway, that's the latest news from my incredibly boring life. Go read about my fictional pirate life at thesaltyhooker. It's much more exciting.

A horrifying thought

I was watching the annual really cool commercials fest Sunday night, (what some call the "Super Bowl,") and I saw the preview for the movie Troy. I was sitting here thinking "man, this is gonna be awesome." And then, a horrifying realization hit me...

Brad Pitt is playing Achilles.

Achilles, in case you didn't know it, is gay. That's not wrong, mind you. It's ancient Greece and they did that back then. But it is something that gets glossed over a great deal. Achilles spends 60% of The Illiad avenging the death of his gay lover. He is gay and Brad Pitt is playing him.

Slowly, my mind began to tie the knots. Brad Pitt as gay man + Orlando Bloom also in film. Brad Pitt. Gay Man. Orlando Bloom. Do you have any idea what this means?

I'll tell you what it means. When this movie comes out there is going to be a plague of Slash fiction the likes of which the internet has never seen.

Flee now if you know what's good for you. You have been warned.
