Today was a weird day. Already in a weird mood from spending the past week immersed in drug-related media; watched Trainspotting last week, been reading the book of the same name the past week, which I'm midway through (more than that as of today, actually), and last night watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas when I got home from work. God I love Johnny Depp. Anyway, I watched Fear & Loathing last night while eating a truckload of pasta alfredo and a monster slice of strawberry-rhubard pie (my favourite), and then fell asleep on the futon downstairs and didn't wake up till 4:30 in the morning. This produces a very surreal feeling. I got up and went to bed, and woke up later on at 11:30. Now, this Trainspotting that I've been trying desperately to finish is really starting to get to me. I've started to think in a Scottish accent. I also realize I want to get through a couple more books before the break's over, so I decide to get it on like donkey kong (with the book... reading the book). I spent the day in my bed reading, until almost 5:00 pm! It's as if the world stopped just for me, just for this purpose, to hinder distractions - because all day long, not only did I not hear more than a peep out of my family, but it was such a grey and hazy day that it really made me feel like there wasn't much else to be done anyway. The sun did not rise today, but I am that much nearer to my goal.
In other news, tomorrow night is Krystal's bachelorette party, which is pretty much the most exciting thing to happen in a while. We're going to have SO MUCH fun! Also, I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory a couple days ago, which I happened to love, to my surprise! Many were skeptical of that movie, but Johnny Depp + Tim Burton + that guy who plays all the oompa-loompas = impossible to go wrong. It captured my heart. Next on the agenda is Waking Life (again). Both of the former movies are, I think, keeping with the apparent theme of drugs, although in their case I think someone had to be on drugs while making them, instead of simply portraying characters doing so. Just for the record, this entire theme is purely coincidental.
Also, I love my job. It just rocks. I look forward to going to work, how many people can say that? Although we're getting a new manager soon, which could compromise the whole deal. I'm hopeful.
