I have a couple hobbies. I just recently came upon a new one; it’s called geocaching. Here’s a description:

Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.

Lisa and I spent President’s Day tromping around the local park with our TomTom Ones trying to find hidden tupperware boxes. It was fun. I am sure we will do it again.

My other hobby isn’t as structured as geocaching nor does it have any strong sense of community or environment. Basically I enjoy getting drunk and surfing Youtube. Just the other day I opened a bottle of Three Buck Chuck and poured myself a glass. I clicked on Youtube and started some free association searching. Valentine’s Day was coming up and I wanted to find some goopy, goofy love scenes. I found myself watching Dolly Parton singing I will Always Love you to Burt Reynold’s in The Greatest Little Whorehouse in Texas:

Gosh I love this movie! And I totally love this scene! It’s so romantic! (Too bad the very last bit is cut off the clip above)

I started thinking of other romantic scenes and tried queuing up Hugh Grant in Three Weddings and A Funeral where he tells Andi MacDowell, “…in the immortal words of David Cassidy, I think I love you.” Unfortunately I couldn’t find this scene but I did find David Cassidy in tight silver pants:

I tried to continue on the path of romantic scenes but I veered off and did searches on The Night Porter, Water Drops on Burning Rocks, and Querelle. I don’t know what it is about Fassbinder and me. He’s like a drug to me– a depressant. I drank more wine and tried to think about beauty. Next thing I know I am typing Rudolph Nureyev into the search box and watching him perform on the Muppet Show. Can you believe this clip? It’s Miss Piggy raping Rudolph Nureyev:

Who thought of this? Is it just me or is that really sick?

I kept searching around but my memory at this point becomes hazy. I don’t know what other videos I watched. All I can say is Youtubing under the influence is fun and I recommend it to young and old!
