INXS - Greatest Hits 

I think it’s safe to say that I’m in the anger-stage of this all.  I’m an emotional Jekyll / Hyde.  I’m beginning to resent her and the union.  Perhaps that’ll actually help…  I don’t know.  I slept like crap last night because of it all and am really just tired of the never-ending stream of thoughts.  I’m not confident that drinking and partying would be wise, tonight.  I don’t want to lose my shit in front of a bunch of people. 

I really enjoy the work of Campbell Scott.  If you haven’t already, check out Roger Dodger and The Secret Lives of Dentists.  He’s also in The Dying Gaul, but I haven’t seen it yet.  It’s on my Netflix queue. 

I also enjoy trial movies.  A couple of my favorites are Primal Fear and The People vs. Larry Flynt.  Ed Norton is in both and his performance in the former will knock your ass right off.  I mean it.  I’ve seen it a dozen times and haven’t had an ass since. 

An aside…  I don’t like it when people address lawyers as ‘counselor’, even when in casual settings.  Is it necessary to be called by what we do?  I certainly wouldn’t prefer it, regardless of my type of employment or level of education.  Call me by my name, please.  It’s there for a reason. 

Oh, I stumbled across the trailer for Sueño, yesterday and thought I’d add it to the queue as well.  Leguizamo is in it.  He’s kind of hit or miss for me, but when he’s good, he’s really good.  He absolutely made Spun, as far as I’m concerned. 

I bought bananas last night because of this.  Who would have thought… 

I purchased a bottle of vanilla vodka for use in el Flasko.  That’s it’s name.  I’m not sure how I feel about the vodka.  It’s made by Seagram’s.  I enjoy their gin well enough.  We’ll see how it goes. 

I’ve decided against L.A.  Though cheaper than San Fran, it certainly wouldn’t suit me as well.  I bumped into an old friend at a coffee shop a couple of days ago and, as it turns out, he lives in San Fran.  He described what it’s like to live there in great detail.  He’s provided me with a ton of info along the lines of affordable housing and decent jobs.  He also states that living there without a car is much more manageable than doing so with one.  Honestly, this is scary for me.  I can’t imagine not having a car.  I know that he’s right and that it’s probably best if I don’t have one.  I’m trying to decide on whether or not I want to drive it to San Fran then sell it, or sell it prior.  I’d be able to take a lot more of my stuff with me if I drove it there [other wise, I'm selling all that I own and flying], but it would certainly make things easier in regards to money if I just sold it first. 

Speaking of money and moving, I’m considering dropping Netflix [for now] and my cable-internet so that I can better save.  I’m getting laid off around April and really need to keep an eye on money if I’m going to make this move work as soon as I’d like it to.  I’ll get 800 - 1000 back from my tax-refund, but that only equals one paycheck.  Maybe I should find someone to sub-lease my apartment…  I could live in grandma’s basement, I suppose. 

I’m also not going to eat out very often at all.  I bought a ton of tuna and canned veggies.  Tuna-melts on the George Forman grill are great.  I better keep up on the vitamins if I’m going to adjust my diet in such a way, though. 

Well, this has been a bunch of delirious, morning time babble.  I’ll end it here.
