just say no to everything

Gone With the Wind (1939): yes, i sat through all 4 hours of this movie, and i am glad i did. the movie is amazing. long yes, but it goes by at a good pace. vivien leigh gave a performance that i don't think any actress alive today could recreate. my only single complaint is that the score would play during random times of dialogue. i'm sure it was fine for its time, but is never done today. however there is so much good i can say about this movie that i wouldn't even know where to start. just buy it.

so that's basically what i've been doing at work since this morning at 7. well, that and sleep. i should consider myself lucky that i have a job that is so uneventful, i can sleep for three hours in my chair, then watch a four hour movie, and now i am writing this. last night i didn't get to see a movie. got stuck helping our friends move into their new place at 11 o'clock at night. who does that?? anyways, that sucked. but we did get to see the first episode of the sopranos. i thought it was pretty good, but it was confusing (as confusing as any mobster movie i've seen because 1. too many people to remember; 2. always hard to keep up with what everyone is doing; and 3. can't understand them because of their accents). i wasn't impressed, however of course i'll give it a chance and watch the next 3 episodes and see how i feel then. i'm sure i'll start getting into it as the story develops. but it just didn't hook me like Six Feet did the first time i saw that. we'll see. i'll keep you informed.

i'm slowly working my way towards seeing a doctor. today we figured out what our insurance will cover, and which doc's i can see. i don't care who i go to...as long as its a guy (however i wouldn't flat out reject a woman), and they aren't LDS. i imagine i'll start seeing someone at the start of the semester. props to jessie for her bit of patience. her and rhett finally got a home to themselves now. hope they have fun with my dance game!!! grrrr.

anyways, the cops i work with are funny. they have tons of cop war stories and they think that everyone else's way is wrong except for their own. hate to see what they would be like in a real emergency situation where their lives are on the line. okay, i got nothing now. i'm still so tired and want to get these next two weeks over with and go back home. J and R might be going to colorado the same day i do. it would be sweet to finally meet R and follow them or something. either way, i'm countin the days...13 to go. for now, i'm gonna watch the freaking insane storm heading our way. hopefully it will blow me out of this state and away from school
