If You Get the Chance

ME: J. Lo’s Dancelife last night. Hearing “Find A New Way” [Young Love] come through MTV as the theme song.
GURJ: I. KNOW.
ME: I felt 90 years old. So proud.
GURJ: Right?! And “Underneath the Night Sky” is used during the promo preview.
ME: Oh, was it? The show looks like shit, though. So far I hate every person they showed. And not in a fun Real World hate kind of way, I just hate them.
GURJ: I know! They’re all acting so much! Like this is meant to be “reality?”
ME: This is what Laguna Beach did to reality TV. It’s like unreal backlash.
GURJ: It’s BAD.
ME: But as long as Dan makes some cash I’m all for it.

Sometimes I feel like my life is a bad early 90’s movie, set in New York; parties and a photo studio with a giant white backdrop, a model comes in to get his photo taken and it goes smoothly and there’s music playing and maybe alcohol, and so it ends with the inevitable. Only they never show the during, or the after; it’s all montages of closed eyes and photo flashes, maybe the backdrop being pulled down. Where’s the part in 9 ½ Weeks where Mickey Rourke wakes up to someone else having wet the bed?
