I don't have much to write about today, so I decided to open with a quote from one of the greatest movies of all time, The Thing Called Love, starring Rivery Phoenix, Samantha Mathis, Sandra Bullock and either Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney. They all move to Nashville or Memphis (which one is the Music City?) to make it big in the country music business and to stalk Trisha Yearwood. River is a little reckless, as it turns out, and he may or may not die or end up in a wheelchair for a portion of the movie. I remember wanting to sing with Samantha Mathis. At one point, the two blond haired singers go up on top of a building top and scream that line that I typed up at the top there. If you were here, I'd mock scream it for you in their funny southern draw. They had goofy fun doing it, so when I want some goofy fun, I'm gonna do it for sure.
So, I love this movie but I haven't seen it since the mid-nineties, so maybe I don't like it. I loved it even before I loved country music. So, now, I'll either deem it inauthentic or I'll think its even better. It was worthy enough to receive "Director's Cut" treatment, which I own, but its gone un-open for the last 2 years.
So, yeah...I had this dream last night that didn't include string or rope or bubble gum, but did include tiny miniature toothpicks that were stuck all up in my teeth, gums and tongue. I kept pulling them out, but there was no end in sight. In the previous dreams, I'd tried to hide the string or gum, but this time, I complained a lot about these miniature toothpicks and people seemed pretty sympathetic, but no one offered up any good advice as to how to get rid of them. They hurt! I can't recall any of the details because I was too busy getting my stuff in order to go vote for my coworker Elliot (his platform: "First thing I'd do is close a lot of stuff.")
Speaking of which...I got to work at 8:45AM this morning. Earlier than anyone else. So, I'm trying to decide which excuse I'd rather leave at 4PM because of...
- a) I'll lie and say that I got to work at 8AM
- b) I'll lie and say that I haven't voted yet
- c) I'll just leave.
