Charlie Kauffman movies drive me up a fucking wall. You're watching it and 30 minutes or so into you say to yourself 'oh I get it'. You have the whole movie figured out. But then you think 'no, that can't be it, there has to be something else going on. It can't be that straightforward.' Problem is, 60 minutes later, it *was* that straightforward and you're just sitting there unbelieving you just wasted 90 minutes. Don't get me wrong, the movies are excellent but frustrating. Kind of like masturbation...
So I watched a movie last night if you couldn't guess; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Made me think about if I would have someone erased from my mind. Answer? No. You need the knowledge and the pain and the frustration to grow. To make you have character and depth. You can't take the easy way out. That was about the extent of my day, watching a movie. I went to work, did some minor stuff for the client, trained some of his employees, and called it a day. Headed over to Target to get some needed staples like fabric softener, hey it's Thursday, need to do laundry. I like doing it on Thursdays. Came home, made some Joe's Special for dinner, put another coat on the fireplace, and watched a movie. Hit the bed. Slept pretty well. I have been sleeping better, my back not withstanding, ever since I accepted the new job. Maybe because now I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel? Or because the thought of something new has my mind at ease rather than at stress levels? Dunno, don't care. Just know I am sleeping which for me is a huge improvement.
Tonight is a work dinner for my current company. I am invited according to my boss. I will go and be polite then come home and do laundry. I also need to clean as tomorrow night I am hosting another game night. Fun fun.
