You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm reminded of Joey's infomercial on Friends.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I thought the Mythbusters guys disproved the idea that toilet germs infect toothbrushes on the sink.

And like, who cares? How bad can it be, considering how many people have been doing it for how many years.

My argument for so many things, really.

Given people's fears of catching something in a public bathroom, it still sort of cracks me up. And makes me glad my toilet is currently in a separate room.

Mine too!

Although, who puts their purse on the floor of a public bathroom??

Or the floor of the subway?

I...may have done that. Although I generally remember to put the other thing on the floor. Of course, today I had a whole pile of crap on my lap by the time I was on my way home.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Why is the song "Hips Don't Lie" in Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights? It's so obviously not a song from the sixties.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why is the song "Hips Don't Lie" in Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights?

To keep in line with the timeliness from the original?

OK, point.

Also, I think that kids watching this who didn't already know about the Revolution would come away very confused about it. There were several mentions of Batista (including one of my new favorite lines ever, announced over the PA at the hotel: "President Batista has fled the country. There is no immediate danger."), one mention of Castro (he's gonna kick the non-Cubans out of the country, thus separating Katie and Javier), and as far as I could tell, the word "communist" was never mentioned.

I would trade "Hips Don't Lie" for "She's Like The Wind" any day. OK, maybe not any day. But for "Hungry Eyes" absolutely!
