I was extremely irritable last night stemming from a disturbing conversation I had with my father. I had already taken - I think three - of my headache pills and the special night pill that helps me to fall asleep. I also had some dark rum on the rocks. I got into bed to finish watching Ordinary People. I suppose I liked it, but 4 academy awards? This movie confirmed: my dislike for Mary Tyler Moore, my like for Donald Sutherland and Judd Hirsch and the future hotness of Timothy Hutton.
When Dan crawled into bed, Moo crawled between us only to get closer to me WHILE HE STARTED HIS PANTING. With a "fuckin' A" I was out of the bed like lightening. I slept in my old bed until Dan started calling me this morning when his alarm went off. Moo never did this when we lived alone.
I finished the book Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner this weekend. I've read Good in Bed and In Her Shoes. She's got a new book out. She's one of those authors that you know writes a lot about her life. She's not as funny as she thinks she is. Nonetheless, her books are an enjoyable read. I started Magical Thinking by Augusten Burroughs. I've read Running With Scissors and Dry--both great reads. What an unbelievable life he led. Sometimes I think he's humor is contrived. IT's not the wonderfully strange of David Sedaris, who's humor is so natural and so real, you laugh days after reading a passage. Nonetheless, I'm a fan of Burroughs and look forward to sinking into Magical Thinking.
Dan has to go into the city today. I'm a little nervous about being alone as I'm not in the best state today. This rain is taking its toll and my parents have both upset me greatly. My uncle Frankie who has lived in Australia for the past 15 years, once told me that Australia wasn't even far enough away from his family--he said if he could move to the moon he would. Ithaca is just too close.
On a good note, I picked up another client yesterday. It's a small project fee, but at least I'm making my way. Signing off.
