Before there was Tyler, there was Travis. Travis Bickle. The first of the modern day anti-heroes. The first to lose his mind to insomnia and act out in a way that scared people.

Yes, I watched Taxi Driver last night. I was amazed at how well the movie has held up all these years. The scene with DeNiro and Foster in the diner has got to be one of cinema's finest moments. She was so young, hell they were all so young - him, her, Scorsese, Keitel, Boyle - children almost. Well ok she was, but you know what I mean.

And the shape DeNiro is in. Holy crap.

After that I watched The Machinist. Dear god I forgot how much weight Bale lost for that role. I mean, I wouldn't mind being another 5 or 10 lbs skinnier than I am, but he looks like hell. When he flexes in one seen and his ribs pop through, damn. I realized that like 40% of the movies I have watched recently all deal with insomnia and the negative effects of it. Maybe that's why I went to bed at 9:30 last night.

Side note - Steve Martin is now on Twitter. SteveMartinToGo I think is his alias. Some good stuff including how his agent is worried about him tweeting whom he then proceeds to call a wop. Amusing stuff.

I was hungry last night too. I have been rationing my food out to last until tomorrow, but last night I caved in and ate like a motherfucker. I had waffles, fried eggs, a slice of ham, and hashbrowns. I was totally craving breakfast for dinner.

H1 called around 10 but I ignored it. I didn't feel like getting into whatever drama she had going on at 10pm. About an hour later I got a text from her. She was in a minor car accident, tire blew. I received it this morning. Sad part? I don't believe her. First off, whose car? You don't own one. Why were you in someone's car at 10pm with all the shit that's going on in your life? Second, why text me? If you are in pain or need help GO TO A FUCKING DOCTOR. She is worried about paying because she is out of work, but frankly even I with my financial issues would go to a doctor if I was in a damn car accident and was having problems with my hips and walking. Geez.

Off on a 75 mile client drive today. Then depending, hospital. I *may* go over to H1's to help her pack. I did promise and you all know how I feel about breaking promises. But of course, given her "accident" she may not want me to come over. Wait until she finds out I have plans Friday night and Saturday afternoon...
