school, books and dvds

2008-08-14

School started.

Yeah, and I'm not ready. Its been a tiring week. More or less.

I just feel out of it.

Josh is not helping. I love him. I do. But he keeps up too late. And he's having problems with his Mom and I'm not sure what else.

But its not helping.

I'm not sure if he gets this. And I've complained. To mostly everyone but him.

I know Jonah's Mom is very agrivated at me. How one minute I'm all, I have to hear from my Joshie & then I'm all "God, why does he do that..." crap

So its limbo.

I guess school is Ok. And work. So thats about as exciting as it is. I'm afraid. Thankfully.

Have't really done as much as you can see.

I'm trying to read Billie Letts new book. MADE IN AMERICA. Its this coming of age story that takes place in South Dokata I think. Hopefully, it'll have some midwest flavor. Odd how you can read some books that are suppose to take place here and there and you never get the feel that it really took place in Minnesota or Austin. It could have taken place anywhere.

Then I've been reading Thomas Dolby's Sixth Form which I'm kind of on the fence on. And even though, I was hoping it was about Brittish schooling..its prep school back East. And even though its suppose to be about a guy coming out that he's gay...who's in love with his friend. Its not as good as I'd hoped. Perhaps, they are just too rich for me. Maybe thats my problem I don't like stories all that much. I do love a good character, who isn't rich with money, but just rich with being so ordinary they are extraordinary. Wesley, from Walking Across Egypt has to be one of favorite characters. He was possibly bad, but there was some goodness there too who of course had his problems. Now on DVD is the movie Killer Diller with is the sequel to Walking Across Egypt. This time Wesley is Lucas Black..who I adored in his one time moment in the beginning of Cold Mountain as the boy who appears in the beginning of the battle scene..and as you see him going under and almost dead, he ask for them to "Play me a song out of here, boys..." I just wish his hair was like it was in that movie Cold Mountain. But anyway, I hope I can finally get some DVD watching tomorrow.

Oh..you might want to miss PARK out on DVD. But its got Trent Ford so its not all bad. He gets to use his actually English accent too. Its kind of a silly sad story. Maybe. All these people taking a long lunch out in a park in L.A., but staying in their cars.

tell me a story
