I think things are finally starting to look up.

•      I just finished watching season 1 of The Wire, and I am glad I stuck with the series. Crime dramas have always been hard for me to get into since there are so many areas of interest covered that I know nothing about; the main ideas never go over my head, but much of what the characters talk about comes out like a foreign language. Legal jargon ( Read more... )

It's not going to happen.

•  Thanks for all the kind replies on my last post.
•  This weekend the Tampa Theater is playing Control, the Ian Curtis biopic. I've been getting more and more into Joy Division, and Ian Curtis was cool because he died the exact way I want to: suicide, at 23, after watching Stroszek. Only 1 month to go!

     There is a stretch of road that I take on the way to and from work that is narrow and long and has only one open lane for each direction. Coming back, hungry and exhausted, I ended up stuck behind a line a slow-moving cars bookended by a black hummer that towered over my view of the oncoming scenery. It usually takes 45 minutes for me to reach ( Read more... )

Ironyisdead911 (11:06:01 PM): well time for this old man ( Read more... )

•      Oh hey, yeah, lets give Diablo Cody an Oscar for writing because I guess using the word "home-skillet" properly is endemic of good storytelling and characterization. Why didn't they give the guy who wrote Junior an Oscar? Not only was that movie about an unlikely pregnancy (A FUCKING MAN GETS PREGGO!), it was an excuse to get Arnold and Mr. ( Read more... )

This is an actual résumé someone once turned in at where I work:

•      The movie version of Persepolis is apparently playing at Veterans 24 this week, so would anyone like to go see it with me? Please?
•      Speaking of possibly buying tickets alone, apparently Radiohead is playing in Tampa. Huh. For some reason I was under the impression that they were only doing a show in West Palm Beach. Well, it looks like all ( Read more... )

•      People* have been asking me "Alex, how was your weekend?" and you know what I told them? I said it was terrible, because I have been very sick since Friday with a fever of over 100. It all started at work when I spent the entire afternoon coughing as the boys on the phone were chain-smoking and I was convinced that it was just their cigarettes ( Read more... )
