Valkyrie

"I can't do this anymore."

"Sure you can."

"Well, yeah, of course I can, but that doesn't mean I should."


"Agreed."


"So what's next?"

"I don't have the foggiest idea."

I watched In Bruges while walking last night and this morning. I think that's the fourth or fifth time I watched it since I got the DVD. It's quickly become one of my favorite movies of all time. I'd even say that it cracks the Top Ten, which is amazing because it means two movies from 2008 (The Dark Knight being the other) crack my all time top ten list. The problem is figuring out which two movies got bumped.

Last night we went to see Valkyrie, it was good, but definitely not worthy of the list. I even think Tom Cruise was pretty good in it. Plus it had Eddie Izzard so you know that's always a plus. It was a little disconcerting the number of actors that crossed projects in it though. Terrence Stamp and Thomas Kretschmann were both in Wanted. Tom Hollander, Bill Nighy, Kevin Mcnally, and David Schofield were all in the Pirates of the Carribean movies. Ian Mcniece, David Bamber, Kenneth Cranham were all in Rome together. It throws me off when shit like that happens. Wonder if the casting directors are getting lazy.


"You know that bit about you being a massive poof?"

"Yeah."

"I didn't really mean it."


"Thank you. I appreciate you saying that."


"Yeah, you're just a regular poof."

"Fucking 'ell."

Some of the guys are around tonight, so I'll be popping out for a bit. Tomorrow night is my stepmother's birthday dinner and Tim and I will be going whether we're looking forward to it or not. People are always like, "We love doing things with our families." And I feel the need to remind them "Right, well that's because your family is not my family. Not by a longshot." They're not so bad though. I take comfort in knowing that all the bastards in my family will die someday...or I will. Either way works really.

I'm working on my talk for Antioch again, really need to write some palancas too. Things are coming up pretty damn quickly. There's also an odd situation or ten developing in my life that I should probably give some thought to. So instead I'll most likely end up drinking tonight instead. You know, handling things like an adult for once.

"What happened to it all?"

"All what?"

"The money! What happened to the money!"

"You know how they say don't spend it all in one place?"

"Yeah."


"I didn't. I spent it all in lots of places."

"Shit."
