I just finished watching Short Circuit. Does anyone even remember that movie? That movie was my favorite when I five years old. I LOVED Johnny 5 and I truely believed he was real. Watching Short Circuit made me feel ridiculously old, sad that we don't have robots wheeling around parties passing out canapes and cocktails, why is the only thing I understand from that Indian guy is stuff like "oh scrotum" and for the sake of pete!", and wonder what the hell happenend to Steve Guttenburg.
Right now I'm listening to the new Radiohead cd In Rainbows. So far my favorite track is "Reckoner". It was an early Valentines gift from my mother. Valentines day sucks for me. Every year I find myself involved with someone who is morally opposed to celebrating Valentines day. And it all started for my when I was 14. That year I had a boyfriend for the first time on Valentines day. And what did he do to me.....he broke up with me ON THAT DAY! Just so he could go out with this fat ugly greasy easy girl. It was the hugest controversy of my middle school. It was the Hugh Grant prostitute incident all over again.
So this year I thought since i'm dating five different guys ONE of them would celebrate it with me...right? WRONG. 1. Hates Valentines and would rather watch the baseball stuff on t.v. that starts that day 2. Asked his work to send him out of town so he's in Orlando till next Sunday 3. Hasn't celebrated Valentines since '95 and won't ever again 4. Is spending time with his kids that day and won't have time for me (that one is forgiven and I completely understand) 5. Is working that whole day and is broke till March. I hate them all right now, well except for number 4.
So THIS is what I'm getting myself. Well it will be a belated gift to myself since I won't get paid till after Valentines day. I thought it was appropriate for myself considering my dating status. Plus it is a Jonathan Adler piece. I love his work.
I'm already thinking of calling in tomorrow. And if it weren't for the bills that are starting to accumulate I totally would. My friend Cindy came by earlier this week to drop off an application for me. Cindy just got hired at an employment agency so she was the first to hear that a local station needed an morning T.V. Producer. That's so perfect for me. I've had my degree for a little over a year and a half now and I'm still working in retail. I have no unearthly idea how this happened. I graduated at the top of my class with high honors, worked on two feature films and worked with Court TV not to mention worked on seven Plays, produced eleven films, was cinematographer on 3 films and Stage managed two television shows. How the hell am I still working at the mall!? I mean you can literally go to blockbuster, find one of my movies and see my name in the credits as Production Coordinator. How many people do you know that has that?? Needless to say it's frustrating and I need a fantastic job where my customers are not stupid and expect me to wait on them hand and foot. OK no more venting on shitty jobs.
So Cindy was here at my house and we were catching up on a lot of stuff. She was my best friend in junior high and on to high school before we drifted apart Senior year. She was there to witness the Valentine break up and was there when my son was born. She and I have a lot of history. She told me of this one kid who lived in our neighborhood who was busted for smuggling heroin.
I remember in our seventh grade p.e. class they had to measure our body fat. I started to make fun of him because his body fat measure at 3%. He would put on my lipstick only to tell me it tasted like crayons, anytime he got in trouble his grandfather would drive his tahoe down to our school and make a big commotion. I mean yeah this kid was a bit of a pain in the ass but he wasn't a bad kid. He wasn't in a gang (like the majority of the boys were back then), he wasn't into drugs (like the gang members were), he didn't even have a girlfriend. It's funny how a little time changes everything. I would have never thought "In ten years this kid sitting in front of me copying my biology paper is going to be arrested for smuggling heroin. "
Maybe I shoudn't have let him copy my work......Oh well.
Off to bed I go. Luna likes to be up by 7 on the dot to eat. I've never met a dog who is as punctual as she is. More on that later.

I LOVED Short Circuit when I was a kid, and as an adult trying to re-live the youthful years, bought the DVD. Sorry to hear about your Valentines horror story. Maybe you should trade in those 5 guys for 1 good guy? Seems like a lot of work with no pay off. Thats just my thought.
