Wakes my ass up in the AM...
Well, besides telling several window contractors where they can stuff their double-paned windows - things with the house (I guess) are proceeding as planned. Just pissed off that I can't get a call back from people. One bitch actually cancelled an appointment on me five minutes before she was supposed to be there by leaving a vm at my home number. This is after I drove half an hour to get to the house. Bitch! Needless to say - she's not being hired.
Here's something weird - I got in touch with my ex-bf, Eric. The one who wrote and directed the movie "The Butterfly Effect." It's coming out in February of next year and starring Ashton Kutcher (yes, in a dramatic role) and Eric Stoltz. God, he sounds fantastic. He is really REALLY proud of the way the movie came out. And he got to play with all the gadgets to do the sound and such. All I can say is it's about time someone picked up one of his scripts. Boy has had talent oozing out of his pores since high school. He always knows how to make me laugh.
He did tell me something that was kinda cool, but freaked me out a bit. Growing up, I had this freaky ass neighbor (we'll just call him Joe). Joe used to set fires to things, shoot up trees, etc... He's was really nuts. Well, at some point, he and Eric were really good friends. And at some point, something went terribly wrong and Eric feared for his safety. Well, anywho, we were at this wedding a couple of years back and I got drunk and spilled the beans on my neighbor, Joe. Saying that some weird shit went on in his childhood etc... (I won't go into it on a public forum). So, Eric, in a time of despair... writes a movie about his life - apparently has a lot to do with the conversation he had with me because one of the main character names is Gilli. D'oh! Someone actually optioned the rights to make this goddamned movie. So, I say to Eric, "ya know - are you TRYING to get me killed?" "Couldn't you have changed my name or something???" Fortunately, the guy who was all psyched to make this film got pulled into a three-movie project and the movie will NOT be made. Relief! Still very flattering though.
Eric is the reason I hate waterbeds. Apparently now, he does too .
Other news, Brandon's digging the new job. He'd be even more psyched if he could get the fuck out of the meetings and get some work done. But I guess with the fun, comes the evil! We're going to the Jersey shore tomorrow to meet up with my sis, bro-in-law and da twins! Yea Da Twins!!!! I can not wait to see my little lovey-lambs. And I know secretly Brandon likes Olivia... he'll never say it. But when she was trying to climb Brandon when we were sitting on the couch - he was digging her!
And despite all that I've said about my ex, no need to fear. Brandon is still the love of my life and I know a kick ass guy when I've got one!
