Cut the Shit

Cursed Monday

Monday’s are the devil’s playground. I hate them. And lately I’ve been having the worst insomnia on Sunday nights. I was up at 4:30 this morning and I laid there for about 15 minutes before getting in to the shower. I get all cleaned up and then I lay back in bed until it’s time to go to work. It’s the most frustrating feeling on the planet. But at least it’s almost lunch time and that means NAPTIME!

Had a fantastic weekend. Had some people over on Friday night for drinks and music. Then I went over to my friend Tessa and Randy’s apartment for more drinks and games. Although it turned out to be less games and more talking and laughing then anything. I always have the time of my life when I’m over there. The night FLEW by and the next thing I knew, it was almost 2am and time for me to get my drunken ass home.

Had a pretty low key day on Saturday overall. Ended up going out to Long Island for dinner with some friends and actually didn’t have ANYTHING alcoholic to drink. Just some soda and good Italian food. I got home sometime around 8:30pm and watched some movies. Memoirs of a Geisha was not worth my Netflix choice, but Junebug was FANFUCKINGTASTIC! That Amy Adams is just about my most favoritest new actress. She had me bawling in one of her big scenes. Also, that whole fast forwarding an hour ahead thing is so played out. I’m not doing it next year. I work on my own schedule.

Yesterday, Paul and I walked the dog all over Lower Manhattan and then had some Mexican food. Then we watched King Kong, which I loved the first time and totally loved more the second time. The CGI effects in this movie are incredible. Seeing it in the theater was mind-blowingly good, but it was still worth it on my TV as well.

Question for the producers of Memoirs of a Geisha: Your movie was a half an hour shorter than King Kong was. Why did it feel like it was 8 weeks longer? And why was the book THAT much better than the movie? I’m talking THAT and I’m talking MUCH and I’m talkin MO’ better!

All in all, a very, very good weekend. Friends, food, and fun!

Oh! Then my mom called me this morning and told me that I was getting back over $800 in my tax refund. Thank God. I’ve never needed the money more than I do now.

So yeah. Once this Monday is finished, the curse will be lifted. I’ve never wanted a Tuesday so badly!
