Some Updates

I've quit smoking. It's been seven days. The urge to eat hits me at about midnight - of course, I also haven't had a good night's sleep in seven days.

That quick trip to San Diego last week also completely fucked me up. The amount of travel I did in 48 hours was redick.

So I am not thinking clearly, and I'm working at a snail's pace. I have several deadlines that are like hundred pound weights on my shoulders. I can't seem to process my thoughts fast enough, talk fast enough, type fast enough...

On a good note, Danny was up this weekend and we had a wonderful time. He arrived on at about 1:30 am Saturday morning. We hit Taughonack that day for some sun and swimming. After a few hours of sun, we went to Purity for some icecream. We came home and napped with The Boys in bed. Finally, at about 9pm we made it out to dinner at Maxi's for some raw oysters and a fried oyster po'boy with cajun fries. I just love that place.

I watched Capote this weekend. Philip Seymour Hoffman actually has an incredible profile. He was brilliant, but the characters spoke in such low tones I felt like I was straining to hear for the two hours. We got into bed with Good Night, and Good Luck on Saturday, but I fell asleep, woke up at the end and was up for the next few hours watching Three's Company downstairs. Also gorged on some Strawberry Rhubarb pie.

Last night I popped in a film by Don Roos (Bounce, The opposite of Sex) called Happy Endings with my favorite indie girl Maggie Gyllenhall (sp?). Overall, I just didn't like the film...partially because the characters were so miserable. Y'know Lisa Kudrow is really not a bad actress, but she picks the worst roles. All of her characters are either annoying or plain dysfunctional.

That's it for now...Signing off.

P.S. Amy got a job as a camp counselor! She started this morning.
