Today, for Jane's birthday, we planned the surprise party event of the season. Right now, four of us are sitting around eating cake and watching The Lifestyle, a documentary about middle-aged and elderly people in the suburbs who have lots of group sex parties. The whole movie is as hilarious and creepy as the last scene in Rosemary's Baby. These people have swings. They have hot tubs. Pine panelling, shag carpets.
If I didn't know better, I would suspect my own parents of being swingers on the basis of decor alone. It turns out, though, that, as a family, we're just tacky.
The room where I'm staying this month may have knotty pine paneling underneath the layers of paint. Picking at it seems to reveal a certain tawny grain. I wish I was staying longer, if only so that I could decorate that room with pictures of dogs playing poker.
I probably will be hanging around this town for another few months, so I'm looking for a place to stay for the mate and myself. I should be getting a second job this week. It will be shelving porn in a video warehouse. A friend of a friend works there. He tells me it's an OK job, but it will make sex ridiculous and distasteful from now on. Also, the co-workers there tend to give people stupid nicknames. They're also really excited that a female will be coming to work with them.
One of them routinely attends Star Trek conventions and dresses up as He-Man at home. posted by Frenz | 6/07/2003 10:59:00 PM
