Last night I was flipping around on cable and came upon Straight Plan for the Gay Man on Comedy Central. I believe it was the premiere episode. This is a really funny show especially if you've seen Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I'm not really a fan of QESG, but my old roommate used to watch it alot and I would just make fun of it. Now there is a show that does it for me. Anyways, the premise of the show is a flaming gay guy will volunteer to have his entire lifestyle changed so that he can appear straight. Then they take him somewhere where straight people go and see if he can fool the people there. Two of his helpers go with him and people decide which of the three was gay. So the guy goes through 4 days of straight training and on day 5, he reported to work at a meat packing plant. The straight training included getting voice coaching so he could talk masculine, getting his apartment redecorated straight style, getting some straight man's clothes, and learning to eat like a straight man. Actually, now that I think about it, the "straight" point of view in this show is probably more bachelor than anything else. The redecorated kitchen looked exactly like mine, ha ha. Some of the other redecorated rooms looked very familiar too. Shopping was done at the Salvation Army which is something I've never done. I guess if you're straight that means you're really poor or you like to wear other people's old clothes. I think they were just trying to be as extreme opposite of the show they were trying to spoof. The straight man's cuisine consisted of meatloaf and more meatloaf. I'm surprised they didn't mention lasagna.

Speaking of lasagna...the quest to find quality microwaveable lasagna continues on. This cursed strike leaves all the stores without large size Stouffer's lasagna which is like the best lasagna for the shortest time. All the ingredients taste real and it actually smells and tastes like you made it from scratch. It's also just the right size for one meal even though it says that it's 3 servings. Who decides how big a serving is anyway? That person must be European. Anyways, I haven't had decent lasagna for months. The store only has small lasagna from Stouffer's which must come from somewhere else cuz it tastes nasty. I went to three grocery stores last night and couldn't find the large size anywhere so I'll just have to suffer through small lasagna again. I've tried other lasagnas out there, but they all taste bad. That's the reason the good one is always sold out. If only I knew which day those came in. Anyways, curse this silly strike that's been going on for like 5 months now. I only got one (maybe two or three) thing to say to those strikers. The cost of my health benefits have gone up every year and yet I still have gone to work. Things cost more as time goes on. Deal with it. That's life. Your job requires no skills and so you are easily replaced. You are overpaid as it is to do such unskilled work. I am only the customer so that means I am not your enemy. Don't boo me and give me a hard time for going to your store or when you go back to work, I'll stop going to your store, and then your store will close and you will all get laid off. If you want to boo someone, boo your union for making you strike over this silly thing. I want my lasagna back, ha ha.

Anyways, one could argue that I could investigate other foods besides lasagna. I like lasagna and so I want that. It also is a big help in getting the super amount of protein and calories I need for working out so I can maintain my weight. It's hard to counter fast metabolism.

Another subject...lots of rain the past few days. I met someone at church who was visiting from Canada. I told her that she came on a weird week. The weather report isn't usually "rain until further notice". It hasn't rained the past two days, but it's looked stormy still. I actually like the gloomy weather. I don't know why that is. Maybe if I lived where it was gloomy all the time, I would like sunny weather. I don't really like rainy weather all the time, but I do enjoy the gloom. I think it makes L.A. look alot clearer and it also brings out the colors of the landscapes. Was that a straight thing to say?
