especially for a geek like me... I saw cameos by Jubilee, Shadowcat, Iceman, beast, pyro, and stan lee, not to mention some others. I hope they make a sequel with more & different guys. after the movie I hung out with my pal Robb, and we talked for a few hours at starbucks. got a lot of opinions stated, and talked for a long while about relationships, common friends and just stuff in general. I swear, if he was a girl or I was gay I'd date him in a second. (Well, maybe two. He's picky. :) ) Anyhow, we discussed our mutual pals getting pregnant, moving and it turns out that he'll be moving at the end of august too! egads! There goes the whole SPLN gang. no more Alex, Brian, Heather or Robby?!? it would appear that of EMAGE, the oonly remainders will be me and the Hunters... I have to remember to thank Alex H for the CD, it rocks!! a little p-funk makes me a happy boy. (among other things.) I'm amazed that newton can Lie comfortably on my screen.... heat-sucker! pesky swish-tail interferes with my surfin! My Bro is back in town, and he's mighty flu-y, so we'll be going out later in the week, but at least I can call him locally on the phone now! Hoody-hoo!

Why is it that so many people think that lies or half-truth is a good alternative to just being cool and being straight with folks? A friend of mine is pregant, and doesn't want her ex husband to know about it, fearing he'll feel bad. I don't know, but I think that once he hears about baby showers, and everything, it's going to be hard to hide she's having a kid. I'm from the "just pull the band-aid off, and be done" school. What's worse is that I feel obliged to help by not bringing it up at all... oh well. no biggie, really.

I don't know what it is, but it seems I attract friends that are super-transient. I don't think I'm going to chum up with computer programmers anymore especially as I've had the worst luch with them moving off to Texas, California, and other points west, near places with deserts. Ray & Kathleen, Alex, Jim, and no doubt, shortly (when leases are up?) Robb, Brian, and Heather (If she and Brian can keep it together. I'm pretty surprised it's lasted this long... maybe she needs to marry a guy, before relationships start to fragment? Maybe Brian was what she needed? Who knows? I'm happy if they're happy, and I'll be saddened when it they go through what I feel is the inevitable breakup.) I'm very fortunate to have a few friends that are more securely anchored. Danny, Dave, Cathi are solid... Suzy's good, but more needy on that spectrum.
