| 5 apr 2002 last night was a rather uneventful day of television, for the most part. _friends_ was mainly a rehash of joey's funniest moments, which was funny, but still, it was old stuff. after _friends_ and before _sportscenter_, i spent most of the time sitting in front of my iMac picking songs to burn onto two CD's for some good driving music. i think i got a good eclectic mix in the end, but after listening to it on the drive to work today, i think i should have shuffled the order; the mix lacks continuity. i also flipped through my _time_ magazine a bit. there were pictures of some dead palestinians, and they were really disturbing. i think the sight of corpses really bothers me. i seem to recall that it used to be illegal or something to show dead people in the press, but apparently that rule has been lifted. *shivers* anyways, after sportscenter, i was still feeling quite awake, so i channel surfed some more and wound up on E!. ah, howard stern. there were two girls sitting there in bikinis, and they were talking about hopping into bed with one another. i sighed and thought this was just another lame episode about girls and their same-sex libidos. but then, first, i realized that both of them were rather attractive. the first one, taylor, was a good generic form of pretty, and the second one, jade, was really cute! and then, i noticed that they looked really similar. and slowly, i realized that they were SISTERS. yup. lesbian sisters. they went as far as to say that they were "in love" with one another. holy shit! when the two of them kissed (with lots of tongue), damn, part of me moved. literally. i mean, lesbians don't really turn me on, so i figured out that what aroused me was the fact that they were sisters. good god. taylor went on to talk about the night that they first got together; the gist is that she basically seduced her sister. i don't know if i can explain it, but the relationship between these two sisters didn't reek of the general evil of incest. for whatever reason, it seemed innocent and rather innocuous. maybe it's because it's not between two different generations, which is usually a demonstration of physical and emotional abuse by the elder person. maybe it's because it's not like the girl can get pregnant and have fucked up blue-skinned six-fingered kids. and even though one of the sisters was the one who initiated it, the current form of the relationship seems to be entirely consentual, intimate and gentle. i don't know. but in any case, it was one of the most arousing things that i've seen in a long time. the rest of the night, i was constantly mumbling the words "lesbian sisters" to myself. by the way, they have launched a website. beware: the standard aggro porn window pop-up will ensue if you visit. anyways, we had pizza last night at the office. there was one conversation by some random coworker about how his family has a set of identical twin males, and those two married another set of identical twins. so if each of those couples have a kid, the two kids will be the genetic equivalent of brother and sister. crazy! what's more, the coworker alluded to the fact that sometimes the twins would switch places and go to each other's home as a practical joke, and suddenly burst out by declaring, "ha! fooled you! i'm not him!" how fucked up is that? what i don't get is how come their families can't tell? i mean, identical twins look alike, but judging from the ones i know, there are still physical differences, right? hm. on one hand, i think it would be intriguing if the brothers took the switcheroo one step further and actually became swinging couples. i mean, if one accidentally gets the other wife pregnant, the kid would still have the same genetic makeup as his own kid! neat! but then again, if the other brother's wife is a twin of his own wife, then what's the difference? it'd be like having sex with the same woman, so where's the thrill? anyways... what a strange situation. the pizza last night came with these little cannisters of "garlic sauce." i was kind of skeptical, but i saw the HR girl tina dipping her crust in the radioactive yellow gunk and enjoying it. so i grabbed one cannister and tried it. it was basically melted butter with garlic powder and salt. really intense shit. at first, it was like a drop of concentrated heaven, but after a few more bites, i felt really sick. why is it that when my leg falls asleep, it is uncomfortable as hell, but when my arm falls asleep, it actually feels pretty cool? these days, you can tell how depressed i am by how long it takes me to open a can of soda. most of the time, i grab a coke or something from the fridge, and i just lay it on my desk or the coffee table. as strange as it may sound, i simply don't have the motivation or energy to open the can. there were times a few weeks ago when i visited jeremy and kate, and they would give me a can of dr. pepper. and after hanging out for however long, when i left, i would hand the now lukewarm can of soda to kate to put back in the fridge. last night, though, i was feeling pretty good. i was pleased with my work at the office, i had just burned a few cd's of my favorite songs, and i was excited that i was one day removed from finishing my first complete work week in a month. also, i was kind of eager to attend sonya's birthday party; mentally, i was already starting to pick out my outfit for the night. yup. it was a good night. and of course... there were those lesbian sisters. |
