Lightbulb! (...and spoilers?)
Okay, I've finally figured out why I like "Brokeback Mountain" so damn much. It's not because it features hot (awkward) cowboy on cowboy action or because it's a story about "twue wub".
I like it because it's about becoming an old, unhappy bum with a bleak future because said bum was too damn afraid to do what would make him truly happy. It speaks to me in a flashing "warning" sign sort of way.
Also because fake Wyoming reminds me of real Arizona.
...
Okay, also because I liked the "twue wub" bit.
ETA: I just realized that might sound a bit insensitive, like "What are you so damn afraid of? A horrible violent death if people find out you slept with a dude? You wuss." And that's not what I meant. Like you couldn't have figured it out for yourself. Why am I still typing?
I forgot to mention that I had Mongolian barbeque for the first time yesterday. Boy, is THAT an art I have yet to master.
"I feel like I'm truly part of a horde."
"Really? Is it the classical music or the pastel colors that do it?"
"Both."
