As if my hair was not enough of an indicator that I hardly look in the mirror, my nose has joined the list. I apparently haven't noticed that my nose has slowly become slightly misaligned due to my inflamed nasal polyps. The inflammation was because I have allergic rhinitis.

What's allergic rhinitis? Heck if I know but that's what the doctor told me yesterday when I had my pre-employment physical. He said my nose is allergic to cold air or something like that.

Great.....allergic to air. How the heck am I supposed to avoid air? But it's not all bad news. Since it is the cold air that I'm allergic to this is a seasonal thing. Ok, maybe not so great news since I do use air-conditioning and it's now looking like rainy season in the country is becoming longer and longer but that still means that it's not all bad.

A few days ago I was able to watch the movie The Lost Boys. As the movie progressed I began to wonder if Corey Haim's character, Sam, is gay. Now, reading some comments on a video in youtube featuring kids wearing 80's type clothes, it occurred to me that men's fashion during the 80's is easy to confuse with what most would consider "gay-wear". So it could be just the clothes. But a Sexy Rob Lowe poster in a boy's room?

Anyhoo, below are some pictures that may support my suspicions:

I read this interview where the director of American Psycho revealed that Bale's performance was based on Tom Cruise.

It was definitely a process. We talked a lot, but he was in L.A. and I was in New York. We didn’t actually meet in person a lot, just talked on the phone. We talked about how Martian-like Patrick Bateman was, how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave. And then one day he called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy.

In the book, Tom Cruise is mentioned as living in the same building the where the psycho character currently resides and they even meet in the elevator.

Don't Scientologists believe that they are souls that have lived on other planets before living on Earth. So if Bale was looking for a human Martian to copy for the role in American Psycho, Cruise is a pretty good choice.
