Al Gore did a good thing when he invented cruise control. After a day that was packed tighter than Kirstie Alley's Spanx, I effortlessly cruised a few hundred miles at monorail-speed to my lovely hotel room in the downtown river district where I will rest before another day-o-fun.
Another good man, John Turturro, did a great thing when he wrote and directed Romance & Cigarettes for me to play in the car. I love that film! I saw it for the first time on Saturday and I've rewatched it several times to try to discern how and when they take the audience from enjoying the quirky playfulness and woo us into a deep sense of human connectedness that is not funky at all. Add it to your queue to drool over Susan Sarandon and Kate Winslet and to see divine cameos by Eddie Izzard, Mary Louise Parker, Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi, Amy Sedaris and more. It functions as a twice-removed sequel to RHPS.
And Conrad Hilton did a good thing when he made the Hilton dynasty full of fabulous properties (I learned that word from the Donald) and the HHonors program for stuttering sleepy people. Somehow when they bring up my reservation and my HHonors DDossier, a flash-animated screen bursts through their pop-up blocker and tells the clerk to give me the best of everything. That's why I'm a points whore. It's all about the pperks.
Other good men: Jim Beam, Burt of the Bees, David Bowie. Plus today I realized that I have Wm. F. Buckley, Jr. to thank for my early start on developing the proclivities of a top. Because as a young teen I was drawn to and repelled by his uptight, haughty, privileged, Sunday morning rants on Firing Line though they made me dream about how gratifying it could be to tie him up, remove that rod from his rectum and make him beg for something better. RIP WFB.
Here's a bonus leap eve quote from Romance & Cigarettes:
You must think I'm the cucumber up the gardener's ass!
There are so many cukes at humor-blogs.com that they've run out of pickle jars.

burt of the bees... He's my hero.
After that quote, I MUST see that movie.
When I first got a car with cruise control, I cruise controlled everywhere, even to the store, going 30 MPH on local roads. I'm driving without feet!
Did you hear that?
I think Buckley just spun in his grave.
Awesome.
Hey Deb on the Rocks,
"...tighter than Kirsty Alley's Spanx..."
that's both awesome and disturbing.
Rock On,
Aitch
oh holy crap girl. I can't thank you enough for coming over and commenting on my blog. I just read through several posts and thought...I need to have her in my RSS feed. Well, I DO. Fuck me. I have TOO MANY people in my RSS feed. So I'm 12 fucking thousand articles behind. (I'm grateful not to have to use fecking on your blog). Then I checked out my blog roll. Is Deb On The Rocks there? I quizzed myself. No. Well, now you are. See what happens when you comment on other people's blogs? Other peoples get their headses out of their asseses and remember who they love.
