I've got to do *something* other than work (Just realising that I've not even eaten a proper meal today)

I get up, I work, I snack as I work, I write a few blog postings once in a while, and then I go to sleep. This is not getting me much closer to the good life.
Why aren't women allowed to notice that other women are "hot"? (Seems like a perfectly reasonable observation...)

Had a lady remark that one of my friends was "hot" in her hallowe'en costume, then immediately explain it with "though I'm a girl, so I'm not supposed to notice things like that".
I mean, sure, men have been raised to be homophobic and neurotic about their own sexuality enough that it's understood they are ...
