First, I saw a screening of the new movie, "Milk," last night. It is about the first gay elected official Harvey Milk and his subsequent assassination. It stars Sean Penn as Harvey Milk. The movie is really good and Sean Penn is amazing. It is a great telling of one of gay histories biggest heroes. It is also amazing that to learn that we are still fighting the same arguments of hate that were being fought 30 years ago. Go see it when it comes to a theater near you.
Second, and completely unrelated, tonight I learned something new about my apartment. I learned that when the blinds are down in my apartment and the lamp beside the couch is on people on the street can see into the apartment. As I've probably said before in this blog I am naked or nearly naked in my apartment a lot. So this means that my neighbors and passer-byes have seen a lot more than they expected to see. Now I'm not that modest but I'm not an exhibitionist either so this leaves me with a bit of a dilemma. But I'm guessing I won't change my behavior because I think people would actually have to stand outside and stare in to see anything and if someone is doing that then they are trying to see in. So they deserve to see whatever they happen to see.
Do you think I've become the recurring Friends character ugly naked guy?

Saw Milk too -- great movie.
And no, you're not ugly naked guy. Your blinds are drawn. You're not TRYING to be an exhibitionist.
I've thought about that dilemma myself as we have a lot of windows in our house and lamps and occasionally I'll run through the house clothes-less. It bugs the hell out of Bill because he's sure someone is always watching. But I keep mentioning that if they are that desperate that they would stalk houses with windows, blinds drawn, and lamps, then they can have this show. It really ain't that exciting.
