I am painfully, disturbingly, unpleasantly waiting. Not only am I experiencing that not-quite-hangover feeling of extreme hunger mixed with nausea, but I have slept less than seven hours during the past two nights combined. That's not to say my last nights in Seattle are ones I regret, quite the contrary: I watched a tree fall on someone's house then listened to a man with a chainsaw fix the issue at four in the morning. Last night was drunken and resulted in the sharing of my bed and sleepless night with a boy...and before I add the details that will tell you this boy was Andrew and we spent the hours drunkenly debating the issues of life and making stolen macaroni and cheese, take a moment to revel in the colleginess to which the first part of this sentence could be alluding...I hate being this tired because everything I write sounds like I'm trying to sound smart even though I'm certainly not succeeding. And on top of it all, I feel my life is sorely lacking "colleginess"--don't feign to misunderstand my made up word; no body's buying it.
I watched The Rules of Attraction this week, and while I can't say I'm a huge fan of the movie, I found the direction and some of the acting incredible. It also helped me to arrive at a certain decision about cigarettes: the style of smoking is somewhat lost in our current society. Old movie stars had a very distinct flare (flair?) when it came to smoking, they made it sexy and elegant and even attractive...in The Rules of Attraction this same stlye was mastered...but it's something I've rarely seen in life. It's probably just a hollywood thing...or maybe it has something to do with those long cigarette holders...I really don't know what I'm talking about anymore...I want a cheese and vegetable scramble.
