What Is Your Approach to Judging Which Women Are Beautiful or Very Attractive?
Very Picky: It's official: You're "picky." The fact is you are drawn to the most beautiful of the beautiful. You know what you like in women and are more selective than most men your age. Your tastes seem instinctual. You'd make a great casting agent, because you have a good eye for women who have "star quality." In real life, your high standards may be an obstacle for you. It's hard to find a woman with the strong features you like, who's also well-rounded in other ways. Still, you know the importance of a real physical "spark" in a relationship, and aren't willing (or able) to settle for less. The challenge is finding a woman who really wows you physically, even if she's not the most attractive woman in the room.
Me: What's the problem? I mean, I would definitely date myself.
Shawn: Well maybe your standards are too low.

How Swede it is
Last night, I attended a Swedish silent film at the PFA by a celebrated author of children's books whose name I can't recall but which sounds a lot like "Legolas". Anyway, the story was ludicrous ("he fixes the cable?"): a plain-but-pure adulteress of low socioeconomic standing redeems herself by an act of unbridled piety and purity, and thereby attains a position as a maid in the household of a young stud named "Gudmund" (good mouth?); Gudmund is set to marry Hildur, who's a self-righteous bitch, and when Hildur's family comes to visit, her father recognizes the adulteress...mayhem ensues; after a case of mistaken identity, a murder, a wild bachelor party, a broken pen knife, and much fanfare, poor Gudmund finds himself vacillating between Hildur and the adulteress, and the two women at first rebuff, then ascede to his advances, with a brief interlude in the middle where the pure one tries to get the bitch to take Gudmund back despite being a murderer (of course the adulteress is the only person who knows he's innocent!).
Anyway, the movie ends with a shot of Gudmund kissing the adulteress, and they live happily ever after. However, apparently the word for "the end" in Swedish is "SLUT".
Today at Saul's, I grudgingly ordered a chicken noodle soup after deciding the salmon was a bit too rich for my blood at $4.50 an ounce. Upon receiving the soup - which was nothing more than a cube of boullion with some ramen noodles, a few limp carrots, and an angioplastic dose of vegetable oil - it was brought to my attention that the bread I was promised by the menu was conspicuously absent. Not wishing to allow the taste of the soup to be revealed by its tepidity, I decided to eat the fetid stew without the bread.
After several minutes, the waitress came around to ask us if we wanted anything else. "Does the soup come with bread?" I asked.
"I can get you some bread if you like," she answered.
"Ah, I see," I lied. "But does the soup come with bread?"
"Yes, but I usually don't bring out the bread unless the customer asks for it."
I let her continue, simply nodding my head in bewilderment.
"You see, I'm opposed to waste, so if you don't ask for it explicitly, I usually don't bring it."
"Well, can I have some bread now?" I asked, shuddering at the thought of dipping some dry rye bread into the lukewarm oilspill that was shimmering in front of me.
"Yes, would you like some now?"
"No, I don't want any now."
