It seemed to be the day to be educated in the ways of the woman. Part of it was completely Hollywood-fake in that I watched What Women Want (which I watched mostly because Lisa Edelstein is in it, and I carry a small torch for her), and other part was an in-depth "I probably shouldn't be hearing this information but it doesn't bother me, I'm just wondering if it bothers you to share it" conversation with a friend who told me that she was cancelling our dinner date tonight because she was an emotional wreck, partially because it was the holidays and she was away from her family and her boyfriend (though she's leaving in less than 48 hours to see them over Christmas) and partially because she was experiencing PMS.

Personally, I must be in tune with her physically, because I've been eating anything and everything over the last few days, mostly salt-based and chocolate-based products, and I hear that's a PMS-like symptom. But I've noticed that I tend to meet up with the same guys in the bathroom at the same times throughout the day, which leads me to believe that peeing might be the male equivalent of being in cycle. Then again, it just might be the fact that I drink so much water throughout the day that I'm constantly going to the bathroom.

So. Now I have to figure out what films I'm going to see on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and I need to find a good Chinese food place that'll be open on Wednesday. The annual Jewish Christmas Day Ritual must be upheld. Bceause honestly, what the hell else is open that day for us of the Jewish persuasion to do?
