did you hear they are doing a big screen version of Flash Gordon now? (BTW my last name is Gordon and I always wanted the nickname Flash..well I did have it once in college but I'm trying to downplay that)

Christine said...

Thank for writing that but I will say that knowing you are 38 just made me feel really bad about how shitty I look. LOL

Girl With An Alibi said...

MQ- no I didn't know that. I must notify my college roommates. We used to get drunk together and watch the old one as we each recited different lines. This could be cause for a reunion!

Christine- don't feel bad hon, not having the John induced stress you have to put up with probably slows my aging process. ;)
