I thought this was over already.
My hospital bill came in.
$7500.
I probably should've just died in the car accident. Like, the stress of all this is taking a physical toll. I'm getting sick again and my back is hurting again. *SIGH*. I have a feeling my back is just never going to recover.
I was supposed to work today but I've been crazy about midterms and I KNEW I was gonna fall asleep again so I had to call in. I can't afford to, financially, but I really can't afford to total another car, either.
But on a completely different note? Johnny Depp crying in "The Man Who Cried"? Beautiful. I wish I had a beautiful man crying for me. BTW, that movie has the weirdest almost cliff-hanger-esque ending ever. That and "Ninth Gate", which is just mind-blowingly WTF.
I tried to watch "The Libertine" (hahha, depp binge) but....maybe it's the dialogue? It's really hard to follow. And I know his character is this crazy almost-sex-addict but it's so crude...and..just blah. It's one of the few movies I stopped watching in the middle of it (I think the only other one is "The Assassination of Jesse James etc.).
Also, I've seen some pretty bad movies, but "Miss Potter" has got to rank one of the worst I've seen. So boring. Ewan McGregor sings for like 5 seconds in that movie, though, and reminded me how much I love it when that man sings. But really....that movie is bad bad bad. Still, I finished it.
OH! But I finally got to watch "Stage Beauty". That movie is WONDERFUL on many levels, but the ending totally confused me. Like, I did not get it.
Movies cheer me up. They help me forget all the bills I have to pay with the money I don't have. But they don't solve anything.
Unless they inspire me to be some genius writer, who happens to publish and sell millions of books translated into over 40 languages and gets adapted into a movie. With sequels. With 6 sequels. That'd be nice.
Also, the humane society in Pomona finally got a new volunteer coordinator. For now, I'll be volunteering there since you can just drop in and go whenever you'd like. I haven't fitted the zoo into my schedule yet because they require a set schedule. Right now, I don't have a set schedule. It's whatever goes. This is chaos. And I still feel kind of appalled they asked me not to come because I couldn't work their schedule.
It's free labor, Jesus. What are they complaining about....
So...all I got going for me this week are tests, tests, tests, work, more work, some volunteering..and more work and tests. Oh, and if I'm lucky, I'll fit in "Underworld; Rise of the Lycans".
Gosh. Sometimes, like now, I wonder to myself if it's all worth it.
movies,
