Good dayyyy

Well, what to say. I am $125 short on rent which I've agreed to pay today, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm going to ask Ken to borrow a chunk, I have a big bag full of dvds to sell, and a few CDs, and then I'm going to Buffalo Exchange after work to see if I can sell some clothes. I figure whatever is left after that I can beg for, borrow, cajole, or kill someone for. What am I saying? I would never kill anyone for a chunk of $125. I would need to be short at least $200 for that.

Best thing though: I got my Film Threat login back. Yay!

Oh, Lost Weekend!

Well here we are Tuesday AM. My weekends for the last couple of weeks have been Tuesday/Wednesday. Listening to a crazy thrash band, Vektor.

I have a huge list of things to do today, and I'm going to do as many of them as possible. I need to do laundry, wash dishes and FINALLY unload and organize the remaining things in my apartment. :)

Midnight in the Garden of Wealth and Recession

My job is really difficult some days. It's smooth at times as well, but I'm dealing with the health of people and it can be really trying too. We are constantly fighting an uphill battle of hours with our corporation, which seem to change always, and its stressful not knowing how many hours you're going to get.

TGIT

My weekends seem to be in flux. It's now Wednesday and it is technically my Sunday. Mona and Andre's wedding reception is Saturday! Wow. Crazy crazy crazy. :)

God, a return

I miss REALLY blogging. I used to have a website stored at a domain that I was just waiting to get back up. Rhaka.cjb.net. It was a word used to belittle fellow men in Jewish society, something along the lines of today's "fag." The concept was that we should (always) conceptually and (sometimes) actually challenge our concepts of gender. I dated a girl who was very upset when she found out I looked at porn and destroyed my computer, when I stupidly gave it to her to show I didn't have to see it (porn) very often. Porn is not a necessity by any means. It's a lazy or expedient (depending on your vantage point) way of achieving stimulation and then climax.

Friday Evening in August

It's nearing 11pm, and I'm slowly getting more and more tired.

Watching an interesting interview with Kirk Douglas from 1957, just after he finished filming The Vikings and Paths of Glory.

The Great Rock n' Roll Swindle

Yesterday I watched Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men, both for the first time ever. Both were enjoyable. I wasn't very impressed with a highly regarded pairing of them earlier in their careers (The Odd Couple), but both of these were more interesting to me, perhaps because they were more Hollywood-ish, which isn't typically to my taste. I dunno. I liked the happy ending with Mathau and Lemmon, perhaps because I like both of them. I don't want to see bad things happen to them.

Just before that, I saw The Music Man for the first time. It has been a weekend of firsts.


Currently watching The Old Gringo, a film about Ambrose Bierce's last days and disappearance.

August the 1st, 2010

Watching Morton Costa's adaptation of Meredith Wilson's The Music Man. So far so good. It's not Singin' in the Rain, but it is pretty cool. "Ye Gods!"

It's almost football season (which is kinda cool), but it means - much more importantly to me - that basketball season is around the corner. BASKETBALL.
