Yes, I *LOVE* Pilates! I take a class 2x a week and do some at home -- I have some of the Winsor DVDs and tapes, and one from Crunch and another. But I have to keep doing the cardio to burn the fat. Under there, I can feel a tighter abdominus rectus though. :)

BTW - I'm probable for CPAC. 70/30 chance.

Woo hoo hoo! Looks like a WFTD reunion! :)

[Senator Pardek]

Er - they're a great live band.

[NYC GOP Chick]

LOL! You're from Lawnguyland?! That's where I am stuck right now -- but heading back home in the morning. :)

I *know* what the social scene is like here. Why do you think I bolted out of here and back home to the city of my birth as soon as I possibly could?!

FReepmail me if you want some ideas for socializing and stuff in the city! :)

[NYC GOP Chick]

That's nice.

[RikaStrom]

Yeah, but you're taller than ME! I know this for a fact!!! There is pictoral evidence of it. ;-)

The cousins in my family all grew tall too, I just didn't get that gene. Dagnabbit.

70/30? Good deal, we'll drag you to dinner too!

At least most LI boys I know aren't into metrosexuality... oh well I can't speak to what goes on in the sharehouses out in the Hamptons.

I think "metrosexuals" should just come on outta the closet and be done with it.

Yep. Metrosexual is just the lastest term for being gay.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Nah. Too many guidos...

[Dan from Michigan]

Woo hoo hoo! Looks like a WFTD reunion! :)

Now where's the Guinness? :)

American Psycho


"I live in the American Gardens Building on West Eighty-First Street, on the eleventh floor. My name is Patrick Bateman, I’m twenty-seven years old. I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy, I’ll put on an ice-pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water-activated gel cleanser. Then a honey-almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb mint facial masque, which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer. Then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing protecting lotion. There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, somekind of abstraction, but there is no real me. Only an entity-- something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can eve sense our lifestyles are probably comparable. I simply am not there."

You're bringing it, silly! :)

Stickboy.

Ya think? LOL... is the pope catholic? Does half of the attendees of Nassau Community College have the map of Italy on their shoulder?

[NYC GOP Chick]

I've seen the movie, and as effete as the character is, I found myself (unwillingly) physically attracted to him. I tried to convince myself that it was the actor and not the character who was doing that to me. ;)

[RikaStrom]

That was the oddest dang movie!

Metrosexual.

[NYC GOP Chick]

LOL! Actually, ethnic background is largely irrelevant when it comes to guidodom -- I've known Jewish guidos.

It's the unmoveable Tony Manero hair and fetish for shopping at Chess King (I think that's the one, it is or was in Roosevelt Field) that define the Tao of Guido, along with muscle t-shirts and Trans Ams and Firebirds, among other indicators.

[NYC GOP Chick]

You are *such* a beeotch. A metrosexual one, at that.

[snowstorm12]

Yeah it was a very odd and weird movie.
