The big yawn

cmk418I swear I'm in the middle of an Augustus Hill monologue from "The Routine". The one that has the phrase "day after dull-ass day".
I'm going a little bit stir-crazy, people.
Mostly, I just spend my days in my apartment - do my morning pages when I get up, check the internet, do an hour of journaling, take a walk (if it's not 90+ degrees out, do an hour of either fanfic or work on my screenplay (mostly it's been the latter), eat, sleep, watch videos, do some work on the job search, and that's about it.
I do try to get out - go to the grocery store, church, squaredancing, went to the mall one day, went to the movies one day (Hamlet 2 - it's not very good) and even stopped by the former job.
That last one was traumatic. It was probably too soon. My former co-workers talk about getting together, but I really don't think it's going to happen.
I saw a really good movie on DVD the other day - "Silver City" - it's a John Sayles film, a bit of a political mystery, with Chris Cooper channeling the former governor of Texas. Billy Zane and Miguel Ferrer are in it and the script is just wonderful. I just got done re-watching "Your Friends and Neighbors" (I've been waiting for it to come to Netflix). Say what you will about Neil LaBute, but I think he's a genius. He definitely doesn't shy away from anything or feels like he has to go the route of redemption. And sometimes that's a good thing.
Hawks training camp starts in a few weeks (maybe sooner). They've got a great picture before you get into the website of Toews and Kane out there at Wrigley and the tagline - Our Goal: Fly the "W" Flag in January. (It's flown after all Cub victories so the riders on the El know that they won, and since the Jan.1 game is at Wrigley vs. the hated Wings, I'm very much in favor of that statement.)
That's it for now. Off to make lunch and then some more writing or watching highlights from last hockey season (which suddenly seems like a great idea).

Date: 2008-08-27 04:36 am (UTC)I've been hearing only good things about the Wings so far (which is actually fairly unsurprising). I can't fathom how they haven't "aged out" already.
Not that I'm bitter or anything...
