For some reason the idea of getting a Russian or Ukrainian mail-order bride kind of appeals to me, which is weird because I don't ever actually want to get married. It's just this sexist fantasy I have about having an attractive foreign woman who will cook and clean for me.
Wow, I feel terrible just saying that. Why am I such a pig?
Hey, I had a longstanding fantasy about some nice Vassar girl of the 50s who'd type my manuscripts and take care of everything and just be sweet and unobtrusively sophisticated as hell. You know, the personification of Ambush. (It's an old perfume.) Then I realized she'd probably be annoyed that I don't really want sex with girls, and that she'd probably talk a lot, and besides, what kind of crap move is it to enslave someone like that.
Then I hired a cleaning lady and it was All Better. No kidding. Especially since I not only paid her, but introduced her to the world of NSF grad fellowships. (College student.) Unfortunately she got serious about her lab work after that, so I'll have to find someone else. Still. Cleaning ladies. Amazing people. Someday I may even hire a kid to take care of the gardens, wowie.
Oh. Wait, that's different, isn't it. I really just had a fantasy about a clean house, kid picked up from school, etc.
