Sunday, July 25th, 2004[Entry 153]while we wave hands in fire...
I didn't know that getting a college degree and having a big-girl job was a package deal that includes ironing pleats in your pants.
Or ironing---period. I think the last time I ever wore anything that required ironing was when I attended Catholic school.
The sad thing is, I like my new work clothes.
I took all my "normal"/"casual" shirts off their hangers in my closet this weekend. I just didn't have room for them to hang along with all my work clothes (all my work clothes NEED to be hung).
Is it depressing that I've put my casual clothes second? Is it more depressing that I don't miss my casual clothes? Is it convenient I was growing tired of all my casual clothes? I tell you one thing, I sure hate wearing jeans on jean Fridays when I realize how shitty jeans can be when you don't wear them everyday to stretch them out. I feel like my clothing is going to become boring. Full of classics. And the sad thing is, I'm like, "ok." At least I still have some decent funky purses. If I start wanting to buy Coach purses or something, then I know something is wrong with me (note: nothing wrong with Coach purses, I'm just still into my Diesel and Miss Sixty purses, thank-you-very-much).
I saw Cold Mountain last night. As you probably can tell, I don't get out to the theaters like EVER. And I'm fine with that. But because of that, I never have current up-to-date discussions about movies. Not that I care. Anyway, I thought Cold Mountain was spectacular. And I don't think Jude Law was ever as hot as he was in that movie. I think it's worth buying the movie just for the hottiness of Jude Law. I always think Jude Law...there's something special to him...but he ALWAYS has bad haircuts in movies. Or maybe it's that he plays freaks. Robot gigolo. Bad man who kills :-( Tom Hanks. I hardly recognized him in Cold Mountain. Yep. I gotta buy that one on eBay or previously viewed. YUMMY. Anyway, beyond the superficiality I am bringing forth in regards to the film... really fucks up your mind when thinking about the Civil War. The mentality. How ridiculous slavery was. How ridiculous that people fought for the Confederate cause. Was that realllllly worth dying for?
The one thing that bugged me about Cold Mountain...a flick about the Civil War, right? A purely American war. Two main characters? Australian and British? I almost think I paid way too much attention to their dialects to see if I could catch flubs in their accents...and that was distracting.
Six Feet Under tonight. I love when it's on because it's a perfect cap to a weekend.
I had a million more random thoughts to share. Only I can't think of them all. I had a really great random thought last night while playing Dynomite...and as I downsized everything to open up an e-mail to send to myself (what I will sometimes do to remind myself of things to do or whatever), I forgot what the random thought was. I was so mad.
