The Importance of Being Idle

First Times For A Few Things (But Not That, Not Yet)

I gotta say today hasn't been so bad at all. I found an interesting variety of jobs to apply for, none of which are in retail (hooray for me!), and then I seem to have spent the rest of the day doing remarkably little.
For reasons best known only to myself, I am currently watching Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor... I'd like to think that he was doing the Bay version of those hopelessly romantic war movies from the early 40s, but there's a part of me that fear's that maybe he thought it was just a really really good love story. I don't for one moment think he deserves the kind of vitriol he seems to attract - like it or not he has changed the way some kinds of movies are made. His most obvious influence has been on action movies, which he pretty much reinvented in the early 90s with Bad Boys after Sly and Arnie had turned the genre into a parody of itself. *notices he's sounding disturbingly like Pat Bateman* If nothing else, his movies always look beautiful and its a pleasure to spend a couple of hours in his world.
Okay, that's enough Bay defence for one day, onto other business.
I've spent the day commando and I have to say that it's very pleasant, very pleasant indeed. Never tried it before, but I do believe this could be the start of a new way of life... In another first I actually wanted a pair of flippies for the first time ever in my entire life, which was pretty surprising as I've always had a fairly strong "no flippies" stance in the past, for reasons which have eluded me.
I was supposed to be seeing Jules this morning, for a chat and coffee, but unsurprisingly she didn't show. *shocked face* Funny how when she needed money last week she could remember my phone number eh? That said, she's had a hard month, what with all the trouble at the hospital and the like (and to be honest that's somewhere between comedy and a horror story), and family givin' her hell, so I will, as always, give her the benefit of the doubt...
I'm insanely tired again today, still not sleeping right, and I didn't even have the energy to go for a run today, which is pretty rubbish. Let's hope that tomorrow I have a bit more oomph eh? Or at least the will-power to force myself to do it whether I want to or not.
*Exits pursued by bear*
