Wake up at 10:00 AM with a pretty nasty hangover. I chug some water and jump in the shower to try and wash away yesterday's stench of insubordination. I then throw on my work clothes, grab my computer, and head off to work.
Work sucks ass. It goes insanely slow and everyone just sucks. Don't know if that is the hangover talking, or if they day really did just suck that bad. After my shift, I opt to try and get a little further on my screenplay before I hang out with Justin and Stein tonight. I clock out and then grab one of the tables in Caribou to do some more writing. And it was a good fucking idea, as I wind up finishing the first draft! 157 pages. Happy dance...
I cruise into the back room and hook my computer up to the printer so I can print the script. There's no way in hell I'm going to use all of my ink in my printer at home to print out 157 pages. But, fuck Caribou, I'll use up all of their ink without even feeling the slightest bit of remorse. I finish printing the script, only having a tiny hiccup around page 109, when the printer decided to jam up, almost causing me to shit my pants at the mere thought of me breaking the office printer with one of my script pages clearly stuck inside. Wouldn't take them too long to piece together what had happened and can my ass. But, thankfully, I manage to fix it and everything works out. I pack all my shit up and cruise home, a very, very happy man.
I get home and Justin and Stein are already upstairs sitting at the table drinking beers. Tool, Shimon, Hart, and Litwicki all sit around the couch watching Point Break, so we join them. After the movie is over, we sit around channel surfing until Justin, Stein, and myself decide to cruise into my room to throw on a movie, as everyone else is just channel surfing and it's getting a bit unnerving. We settle on Cool Runnings, which is an old gem that I very rarely remember to sit down and watch. I am instantly reminded within the first ten minutes of why I loved this movie as a child, and still love it as an adult. It's the perfect blend of subtle humor, cheesy-but-well played melodrama, and some true inspirational moments, everything old Disney movies used to supply. Watching the film also makes the three of us realize how much Disney sucks ass and never makes movies like this anymore that people of all ages can enjoy. Whatever happened to the days of an adult enjoying something as much as a child? It seems like now everything is geared one way or the other, but never finding a happy medium, unless it's a Disney/Pixar film, which have been disappointing me for awhile now. The last Disney/Pixar film I actually enjoyed was either Finding Nemo or Monsters Inc., whichever came last. Everything after has seriously failed to impress me, and that includes, in my opinion, the vastly overrated Wall-E.
Justin and Stein cruise shortly after the movie ends and I do the nightly routine and crash while watching Finding Neverland.
