Going to go see a matinee of Seabiscuit ($5! $5 for a movie!) -- going to come back and do some work on the screenplay, read some other screenplays.
My life is a whole lot of quiet. I've missed having days off. Of course, I don't know what to do with them -- so I fill them with work.
I need going-out-on-Saturday-night friends. Other people have these sorts of friends, and I think their lives are better for it. Mine are hang-around-on-random-holiday friends, and that sort of thing just isn't reliable enough.
The family reunion was good -- this week has been a combination of catching up with life and regaining my strength. Both of which are good things. I now have clean laundry, a stocked larder, and a few screenplays read. I'm all responsible and so forth.
Went to Amoeba last night, and after doing some trade-ins, spent $25 on Prodigy, Craig Armstrong, Postal Service, and a KCRW sampler. Not to mention my very own copy of Unbreakable, my favorite pseudo-Hitchcock superhero movie ever. I can't tell you how happy this makes me.
Post office, now, to pick up a graduation gift that arrived in the mail. And then, to the theater!
