My stomach has been upset lately. Gas. 

Skated at Mar Vista last night. It was really fun. They had the DJ and the lights and people were drinking wine in the penalty boxes. I don't really have anything more to say, so on to the--

Mlog! 

**SPOILERS**

Oh, I also wanted to say that my cat sleeps next to me in bed every night. My husband gets up before both of us, so in the mornings it's just me and her being lazy together. It's really nice. I searched online to find out what it meant. "What does it mean if my cat sleeps next to me?" I wanted to find out if she loves me. The internet says she loves me. :) 

FLESH GORDON

It’s a sex spoof on Flash Gordon. The characters are Flesh Gordon, Dale Ardor, and Dr. Flexi Jerkoff. They have to save earth from the evil Wang’s sex rays. Upon arriving in Wang’s kingdom, Wang wants Dale for his bride and Wang’s daughter, Amora, wants Flesh for her husband. Amora takes Flesh on a love ship shaped like a swan and the two have sex before Wang blasts them out of the sky. Amora gifts her power pasties to Flesh. Then Flesh and Dr. Jerkoff go to save Dale from getting married. Dale’s whisked away by an underground band of lesbians, though, first. Flesh has to fight them and their pet beetle man monster in order to rescue Dale. With the help of Prince Precious, the rightful heir to the throne, the trio defeats Wang and saves the Earth. 

This movie is not that funny and not that sexy, but the animation and the special effects are good. The best part was the stop motion beetle man. Wikipedia tells me this: “In the early 1970s, [Jim] Danforth was hired to do a model animation sequence of a "beetle man" for the underground feature film, Flesh Gordon (1974). Not comfortable with the film being a semi-porn comedy, Danforth requested that his name not be included in the credits, but the film's producer, Howard Ziehm, included his name anyway, as "Mij Htrofnad" (spelled backwards).” The film also features a yellow-faced Wang which is atrocious.

Here’s a picture of the rocket ship:
