I took a sick day from work today. I had plans for my sick days, but I blew one of them off today because I got all of 3 hours of sleep last night, and when my alarm hit at 5:30, I had no desire to go to work; I was just going to zombie around all day and accidentally fall asleep on my breaks. Add in that it had snowed overnight and i didn't feel like playing sled in my car on my bald tires, and...I took a sick day. I ended up recapitulating on all my sleep by going back to bed at 7:30 after I called off and staying asleep until almost noon, so at least the day will be better from here-out. In the end, I slept till about when my lunch break would have been, so it feels almost like a "wasted" day off, but...it wasn't. Because I slept. I'd have just fallen back asleep when I got home from work anyway, so I guess I am saving myself THAT time on the things-I-can-do-with-my-time agenda.
I'm STILL tired, though. And not showered yet at 1:34 in the afternoon. I should get on that. I think I will take an hour long shower.
Yesterday was horrible, and I can't even begin to express all the levels on which I wish it had never happened. I find that no matter how hard I try, I often just repeat the same mistakes in life over and over. Like some stupid alcoholic or skin cutter who knows their problem is psychological and hurting them, I keep returning to the same poisoned pond and drinking the water. It's demoralizing. Every time I think I have the emotions under control that lead to these problems, they invariably sneak back into my life; and for a while, I feel great and amazing and happy, and then I remember why I try so hard to shut them off to begin with. It never works.
So I watched the last half of Inside Man on USA today. I own the movie, but since it was on, I figured I would take it upon myself to enjoy it while eating lunch instead of watching Sportscenter for the 4th time this morning.
That is such a good movie; I had forgotten how stylized it is and artistically shot. I never expect that from Spike Lee, I guess. And Denzel Washington and Clive Owen are such a fantastic on-screen pairing...I wish they had done another movie or two together. Clive Owen...I wish I liked more stuff that he's done, because I think he is incredible. He's done a lot of shit movies, though, that even he couldn't save. Derailed, Children of Men, that stupid King Arthur remake. Blah. I guess they can't all be Sin City and Shoot'Em Up
LOLz...I just checked out IMDB to see what else Clive Owen has been in...apparently there is an Inside Man 2 in production. What the hell is that? I mean, I love Inside Man, but I can't imagine any use there would be for a sequel. What an awful idea. And it has Sin City 2 listed as "pre-production". Why does it feel like I've been waiting half of my life by now for them to get off their asses and make that movie? I mean, Jesus Christ...Sin City came out in 2004! Let's go, people. Quit making shit ass projects like the Grindhouse, Rodriguez. Frank Miller, you're in the clear because 300 was fantastic, and The Spirit looks like a lot of fun.
