miss me blind


even though i am enraged on a daily basis by the inequities of my female existence, i am always thankful to be a woman. i had another ‘whew…am i glad to be a woman’ moment last night.
i was vegging out in front of the tv and an ad for cialis came on. now, normally i don’t really pay attention to ads much less ones clearly not targeted to my own demographic, but i was totally mesmerized by this one.
an attractive middle-aged couple together shopping at the grocery store, gently and smilingly fondling produce…of course, inspiring an intimate moment; suddenly they embrace and now the supermarket is a wooded glen, and that orange display? poof! now it’s a picnic blanket and our couple lies down on it, gazing deeply into each other eyes. this totally happens to me at the safeway. All. The. Time. i was cracking up.
but the part that really caught me was when the voice-over ran down the side effects…ummm…BLINDNESS anyone??? apparently taking cialis may have a ‘sudden and severe’ side effect of freaking blindness! so, there’s your choice droopy…blindness or a boner. wow. am i glad to be a woman. because you know the guys taking cialis (and there are quite a few of them…insurance covered, of course, don’t even get me started on that…god forbid a man lose his potency…what evil would befall us??) i digress…you know the guys taking cialis are seriously willing to risk losing their sight just to get an erection.
that is devotion to a, ahem, member, for sure.

en été, je pense à-t-elle...

it's finally really summer. midsommar was yesterday so it is official.
whenever it gets steamy and the sun blazes i think of jean seberg. i don't know why other than i used to read "bonjour tristesse" every summer while lying on the beach. i thought it made me look as glamorous as cecile seemed to be.  watching "a bout de souffle" always made me feel warm too, now that i think about it.
two of my favorite summer love stories. light, to be sure, but still thoughtful and substantive.
