waiting for the internet.

waiting for the internet to load pages sometimes makes me want to stick a fork in my eye. i know its because weve become so accustomed to fast things and instant gratification and bobloblaw.

i watched this superb movie today. its been sitting on the coffee table at home for almost 3 weeks now. i got it in the mail the day i arrived back in sacto. and well...lets just saying im not getting the most bang for my buck from netflix. ok the movie.

Little Children

real freakn good. kate winslet. patrick wilson. (he's got that kinda face that makes you say, um he's been in other stuff before. kinda like campbell scott and 6 degrees and dying young...but not really)
remember me?
it captures a good sense of the ennui typically associated with the suburban. the only thing that was a little offputting (sp?) at first was the occasional narration by some omniscient person. it reminded me of stranger than fiction only because thats the last movie i remember seeing with narration like that. but the real movie stuff i enjoyed. its a tad predictable. but i really like suburbia and things that examine it. i liked it so much that i started watching it again after it ended. the only reason why i didn't finish it was because i had to pick my mom up from work.

so put that in your chimney and let it smoke. :)

the broome's call in the middle of the afternoon put a feather in my cap. after talking to insurance agents all morning and early afternoon, it was real nice to catch up and speak in another language. i mean hello.

things i'm looking forward to in the near future and beyond:

the premiere of Rescue Me on FX. tuff problems abound!
doing laundry.
taking a cold cold shower.
successful job search leading to lots and lots of interviews, and one lucky job. (twss)
will traveler? not really. i just think its funny.
