I just keep playing, trying to find a theme I like. The current one looks good to me but the gallery page is messed up and I have no idea why. I really wish there was an online WYSISYG wordpress theme wizard. Something that would allow me to very easily get what I want without having to play with the code.
I am feeling extremely frayed around the edges. Maybe it’s stress. I don’t know. Yesterday and today I went on very long walks. It was nice to get out and move around although the feeling of emotional fuzziness is still with me. Last night I watched a frightfully violent movie and I am having a very difficult time letting go of the images. Maybe I just need to take a nap.
It was one year ago yesterday that my old company laid me off. My world has completely changed since then. It’s all been for the best. I don’t miss the old grind one bit. The new job took some time to get accustomed to it but I am enjoying it now. I just can’t help but look back and remember where I was a year ago.
I’ve been pricing new cars. It has gotten me to thinking about used cars. There is one car on the road that I really like. Every time I see one, my heart aches because I want it. Luckily it’s not a Hummer that I love but a Chevy Monte Carlo. This car payment thing is completely new to me and the thought of putting out what appears to be about 500.00 a month is making me physically ill. I guess I can always look at cheaper cars. Or used ones.
Tonight I am going to my parents’ for dinner. My mom is cooking up some fish that our next door neighbor, Walt, caught. She is also making some pasta with spinach. I can hardly wait to taste everything. It’s time to get myself ready.
So – was it Children of Men or Curse of the Golden Flower? Both were pretty damned violent yet fantastic films IMHO!
It was Munich.
Heebie-jeebies aside, was it any good? I heard it was kind of pro-terrorist and not Spielberg’s best work, so I didn’t bother with it.
I don’t know– I got into it rather late and I wasn’t paying 100% attention to it. Plus I am completely unknowledgable about the whole Olympic kidnapping so I couldn’t really determine the extent of the bias. In a way it was nice to see the portrayal of someone affected by his violent actions yet it is still disturbing to realize that things like that take place in the world.
Was Children of Men really violent? I thought it was just a simple Sci Fi movie along the lines of A Handmaid’s Tale and something I had considered seeing– if it’s violent I will definitely pass on it.
