It's a little bit funny

How the clients that take the most effort to please are often those that produce the least amount of return.

No matter how often it comes on, or how badly butchered for TV it is, I have to watch A Few Good Men to the very end.

How I swore I would unpack right after my move, and here it is almost 3 weeks later... still not even close to unpacked.

That I can't even fool myself anymore.

No matter how many times I hear it, Tuktuyuktuk always makes me smile.

That I'm wondering if this is all there is to life, but am still too lazy to get up off my ass and get more.

As much as I get frustrated with my current job/coworkers, I can't fool myself into thinking it'll be any different elsewhere.

That watching a kid squeal in delight while getting onto a bus makes me wonder if I can ever be that happy or excited about anything.

That some people see me as incredibly driven.

How I feel that I'm faking my way through life.

That as self-absorbed as I might sound above, this list makes me laugh.

a few good men ranks among my all-time worst butchered-for-television movies. i can't remember the exact line, but they're talking about how cruise's character can't swim.

demi moore's response is something along the lines of "damn it, caffey, you're in the navy, for christ's sake." in the tv version, it was something like, "darn it, caffey. you're in the navy, for goodness sake." it was so wretchingly awful that i couldn't watch it anymore. and i love that movie and want to have manbabies with aaron sorkin.

and on your first point... a thousand times, yes.

1: Hmm, yes, that's why I stopped serving clients.

2: I'm not sure if I've seen the movie or not... I know that every time I see the title of it, I keep thinking gay porn.

3: Who unpacks right away?

4: But at least you can fool everyone else.

5: I'm reminded of Corky and the Juice Pigs.

6: No Comment.

7: Yeah, the grass isn't always greener.

8: Umm, I can't be. Except maye Spongebob.

9: No Comment.

10: If you're faking, damn, I'm in trouble.

11: I laughed too. It was a good list.

mmmmmmmm he's so dreamy. sigh. so unattainable. have you ever seen the skin book? it's an older indie film, i think it was one of his first flicks. very good. a bit dark, but he's so cute and fragile. i'd break him.

WendyKat - wasn't it the Pillow Book? The one with the art of painting erotically (erotically painting?) Japanese characters on someone's nekkid body?

Funny that you should both go to that particular version of that song; it's actually what Gal and I consider "our song". Ha!

Seriously though, how scary is it that I've been dating the same woman for almost three years, living with her for two, and we have a song.

The mind boggles.

IMDb is your friend WendyKat. =) That and I worked in a video store for 4 years while in school, and have a freakish memory for that sort of thing.
