the needle and blood

i don't have much to say. i'm watching the movie 'unforgiven' with commentary from some random film critic i've never heard of. kim and i were watching 'goodfellas' earlier tonight. another amazing movie is 'there will be blood'. probably the best movie i've seen from '07. not sure i'd want to see it over and over. not like unforgiven and goodfellas. a movie that's not so great is '21'. i suppose it could be entertaining for the simple-minded. the movie is basically 'ocean's 11', meets 'casino', meets the movie where the high schoolers try to steal the SAT answers. i never saw that last movie, by the way. 21 is so very predictable. and cheap. bad editing too. lawrence fishburn isn't that bad though.

nothing is really going on. katie is as cute as ever. she can get a little feisty though. i'm getting into the holiday mind frame i guess. torn city is going well. i own a good law firm and right now i'm on a plane to the UK.

my job is so-so. thursday was such an up and down day. started out usual for about an hour. then we had an all-hands meeting with my boss's boss's boss's boss's boss (there are two more above that last boss; i have a ways to go). we have lots of 'all-hands' with various big-wigs all throughout the year. usually the same stuff is said and the same questions are asked. then back to my office to answer a few emails before driving home. once home we had to give a physical for life insurance. i had to give blood which made a nightmare of a week leading up to this day. a nightmare is an understatement. it was the hardest thing i've done since getting my masters. left back to work and stopped at chipotle first. i figured i deserved a good lunch. brought it back to work. worked. i was so out of it after having to give blood. i seemed to barely form sentences when i was talking to my boss. she probably though i was high. told her i probably would go home early but realized i could close out a case which had been due that day. i would have been pissed if i missed my date. i had been pretty down these past few days because i was expecting to miss the date. things turned around at the last minute though and i was able to get the job finished. that reminds me to shoot an email over to the guy that really made things work out. finally went home around 5:30. so i guess it was a good and bad day mostly. friday was nuts too but i'll spare the details.

so i'd much rather be laying on the couch watching this movie than sitting at a tv dinner tray on my laptop. the film critic is not so bad. critics seem to provide much better commentaries than the dumb actors of the movie. i'm beat. time to get horizontal.
