"When you come into work, does someone say, 'Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays?'"
"Naw man. No. Hell no. I believe you get your ass kicked for saying something like that."
How prophetic. Here it is, Monday. I just don't think Mondays are that bad. For my money, the worst day is Sunday. Yeah, I know, football is on. But is there anything worse than that impending doom as the clock ticks away, knowing that you have to go to bed soon, and wake up to things like school, or work. (or both!) Not to mention there is usually nothing on TV that you can look forward to, and most of the good nightly programming is taking the day off. It's just a big downer.
Watched "Poolhall Junkies" last night. Excellent movie. Granted, it's more of a younger male sort of movie. A cross between Rounders and Boiler Room, with the Hustler mixed in. The dialogue is sharp, and the characters compelling. Chris Walken makes an enjoyable appearance, and Rick Schroeder is surprisingly interesting as a hustling pro. Worth a rental, my friends. Funny, in a nod to the difficulties of Hollywood, Poolhall Junkies was written by this guy Mars Callahan, with the intent that he would play the younger brother role. By the time he could get the screenplay optioned, it was ten years later, and he had to cast himself as the older brother.
From the Department of Idiocy: So, it turns out that my tuition, and my refund, all of it......wasn't mine. The Student Accounts office posted the wrong loan to my account, and let me walk around (a) thinking my tuition was paid, and (b) with a refund check to subsidize my living expenses (which I have since cashed and spent half of). So they call me in today, and I say "Oh you wanted to see me?" This lady looks me dead in the eye and says, no joke, "Oh, there was a mistake and you owe 14 thousand dollars." Um, excuse me? Did she expect me to pull out my gangster's roll and peel of 140 c notes? Im sorry, but a dead pan request for 14 dimes tends to rattle a nerve or twelve. Anyways, turns out I needed to fill out one stinking form. That was it. I was missing one form. So I haven't had a loan all this time, meanwhile, Im about to take finals. Isnt there a statute of limitations on this?
Gotta love law school. You take a class, read 400-500 pages of material. Learn cases, case law, statutory law, and general opinions on a myriad of topics. Then it all boils down to one exam which you feel you may need 7 weeks to study for. Meanwhile, multiply that times 4! Four classes, and each teacher swears up and down that theirs is the only class you are taking. Hilarious. Meanwhile, they schedule me for 4 exams in 3 days. Is that even legal? I asked for an accomadation, but haven't heard anything yet. You know, if they wanted me to leave, they could have just asked. Torturing me is just too subtle.
My watch keeps stopping. Got a new battery and everything, yet there it goes, dead stop. Meanwhile, my life is so hectic I dont have enough time in the day to find matching socks. But my watch thinks time is eternal, like its a big joke on me. Scrambling, scrambling, jeez what time is it? Oh, it's still noon.....whew.
So my roommate brings home Charlies Angels 2. I only watched it out of the corner of my eye as I dominated my opponents in Risk, but I gotta say, this is absolute crap. I cant even describe how bad it was. Regardless of the fact that it is totally unbelievable and incomprehensible, the dialogue is ridiculous. And is it just me, or is Lucy Lui the only hot one of the three. Drew Barrymore may be the most overrated female out there (move over Anna).
