Fried Green Saturday

Ok blog, so it's been a few days, but I've had a few things going on in my life... namely that I started a real job! Yes, my very first real, adult-type job with responsibilities and stuff. It only took me 24 years. I learned something, too. Being a grown-up sucks. I would much rather sit at home and watch Hayao Miyazaki movies all day and work on my amazing screenplay (more about that later)!!! But, I can't. BTW, I think the stress of having to grow up has caused some hormonal imbalance because I woke up this morning at 9:45 (as opposed to my usual 2 pm for Saturday) and started watching Fried Green Tomatoes on Lifetime (at 10:00). And then, I started sobbing like a little girl!! Like when Kathy Bates rams into that VW bug in the grocery store parking lot I needed like three whole tissues! It was just that fucking empowering! Here is a picture of the dyke-licious Fannie Flagg who wrote Fried Green Tomatoes and was also--wait for it--A PANELIST ON MATCHGAME! Now that I have a shitty real job, I think my new dream job is to be a panelist on Matchgame. I could be the next Charles Nelson Reilly or something.

BTW, is it just me, or is Fried Green Tomatoes totally a lesbian love story!!! I feel like the theme of the movie is "lesbians inspire feminist behavior." My friend who read the book said it has like "real" lesbian moments in it. Whatever that means. Maybe I'll have to read it.

Oh, speaking of my amazing screenplay, I will tell you about it now because I don't really think anyone is going to steal my idea... and actually, I kind of hope someone does because I will probably never actually write my screen play and I think my movie is super sweet and shit! OK, so it stars my sassy and fabulous roommate, Michael N----- (I'll protect his privacy here, but you can find him on Facebook), as a Girl Scout Troop leader cum treasure hunter!!! Yes, it's like Troop Beverly Hills meets National Treasure: Book of Secrets!!! And it's set like all around the world, Amazing Race style. Oh, and my roommate has like an endless source of money that he spends extravagantly the whole movie on things like John Paul Gaultier for Hermes treasure hunting outfits and treasure hunting equipment--like how in Tomb Raider Lara Croft was all rich and shit and would spend more money trying to get the treasure than what the treasure was even worth! That's all I've come up with so far, but there's definitely lots of treasure involved! And maybe even a steamy gay sex scene!!! And totally precocious young girls!!! I'm obsessed.

I leave you with some pictures of Michael's wardrobe from the movie:
