it's me, scott. does this dress make me look fat?

friday night i rented the best movie in the whole wide world, "nude on the moon". i'd never seen it before, and i'm really not a big sci-fi buff or anything, but i was looking in the childrens section at 4-star video for "the worst witch" (a tim curry classic, of course), and they didn't have it, so i turned around and was looking at the funny sci-fi titles, and "nude on the moon" just stood out at me! so of course i had to get it!!

we (i was with my friends christopher and wendy) ran home as fast as we could, and popped the movie into the vcr before even taking our shoes off! it started with a spectacular view of a piece of blue construction paper, with pin-holes poked in it and a flashlight making them twinkle. it was breath-taking!! this construction-paper-star-twinkling went on for about 3-4 minutes while the "nude on the moon" theme song played.

the movie plot basically involved two scientists, one old and one young (the young one drove a pink cadillac, by the way), and how they built a top-secret rocket and jetted off to the moon to explore it. however, they must've been awfully tired from making all of their rocket-related calculations, because they fell asleep on their way to the moon!! how silly of them! but they landed on the moon and found out that they must have landed in some crater nobody had ever seen before, because it had trees and grass and sidewalks, and small chunks of gold everywhere! unfortunately the scientists couldn't take the gold because it would've thrown off the weight of their rocket and they wouldn't have been able to get home.

also, while on the moon, the scientists discovered aliens (you could tell they were aliens because they were wearing headbands with antennae sticking out of them) who were all female, and topless! so naturally the scientists spent about 20 minutes taking pictures of these bizarre female topless alien-creatures with antennaes sticking out of their headbands.

unfortunately, when they got back to earth, the younger one forgot his camera on the moon, so nobody believed that they had actually gone to the moon!!!

all in all, it was a very exciting piece of cinema. i'd recommend it to anyone who either enjoys sci-fi, or enjoys topless women.

saturday night i drove to chicago to pick up my parents (they were coming back from a vacation to las vegas), and sunday i slept all day. i petted my kittycat once or twice. she purred. also, i went grocery shopping and bought:

- one chicken pot pie.

- one little container-thingy of ben & jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

i ate them both sunday afternoon.

love,

scott.
