I was in line at the supermarket check-out today and right in front of me was this guy who used to be a year ahead of me at my school. School's been a while people. I met him again like a couple of years ago, when he went to some classes at the university with my then roommate. The fun thing is: all the girls in my school (including me) used to be crazy for that guy. We thought he was the coolest and most handsome person on planet earth. WRONG. It probably was wrong then, it definately is wrong now. And it's not even that he got fat and has a boring job and five kids now and a sreeching wife. He pretty much looks what he look like back then. He saw me, recognizing me kind of. Shook my hand in a weird fashion. If your right hand is busy packing your groceries up (which seriopusly contained of sparkling wine and a full litre of buttermilk - a choice, that made me imediatley phantasize what his night was going to be like. I came up with a buttermilkbath, a hot blonde and some sparkeling wine. Don't ask...) well, if you don't have your right hand free you don't have to shake my hand. Handshakes are for pussies anyway. When he was done paying he turned to me and said something like: "Well, I don't know either. Maybe we will meet again." No question mark at the end of this, he was definately not hitting at me. Thank god. He was just outterly strange. When in school he was notorious for losing stuff and getting lost. He'd always forget where his car was parked. He'd always leave his gym-clothes at the lockerroom after school. Always very confused. We mistook that for cuteness. Teenagers are strange, especially in their tastes...
Before that encounter I was at the cimema watching "Burn after reading" and I thought it was brilliant. It was really funny! I did not necessarily expect that. I'm pretty sure that the Coens are unable to make an actual bad movie. But I was not so crazy about their comedies lately. But this one is great. I laughed a lot and it is less slapsticky than I thought it would be. Thank god Brad Pitt's hairdo isn't claiming all the attention...
Vice presidential debate tonight. Should I stay up for the laugh? I'm a bit afraid I might lose all my brain cells from just looking and listening. Infectious stupidity galore...
