And then Ben began to cry

Went to my video store today. Wednesday is "rent one, get one free" day. I'm scanning through the independent comedy section when a title leaps off the shelf and comes rushing into my eyes: My Girlfriend's Boyfriend.

I slumped back against the shelf behind me.

The plot revolves around a marriage. It's got a gay theme qnd a jealous gay character. And just to make me feel a little bit more like someone's encroaching on territory I thought I'd staked out, it features a supporting performance by 1980's pop star Deborah Gibson.

Times like these were made for Heaven 17. All hopeless fantasies are making fools of me...

I tried but could not bring
The best of everything
Too breathless then to wonder
I died a thousand times
Found guilty of no crime
Now everything is thunder

I'll turn the last card down...
