raybearI decided to use my AT&T money on something 'frivolous' rather than practical. So I bought a couple CD's at lunch. One of them is by Waldeck, and when I did google search to find a review, more than half the sites were in French or German. Apparently, I'm that cool.
I have therapy tonight. Don't want to go, don't want to go, don't want to go, don't want to go. In related news, yesterday I watched the first 3 episodes of the Sopranos. Speaking of johnny-come-lately's, yes, I'm just now getting around to liking this show. Part of the reason was that I missed the first season, and I would watch it sporadically when I had free HBO last year, but never full episodes. I was reluctant to get involved since I couldn't start at the beginning. Plus, I'm one of those weird snobs that automatically is leery of widespread "critically acclaimed" shows, movies, albums, whatever. If I don't get into them BEFORE the buzz gets big, then I either never get into them, or I wait several years. Part of my reluctance has practical reasons -- as Chuck D said, don't believe the hype. And hype always ruins anything good. So I watched them, I liked them, I'll probably keep watching them, at least since the first season is no longer in the "new releases" section of the video store across the street, so they're cheaper. But that's not the point of talking about the show -- what I actually loved about the show is the Lorraine Brocco, the therapist, and his relationship to her. Quite impressed with the writers -- they must know good therapists and have been in the therapeutic setting before. My favorite part is when she tells him something that makes him mad, but then 3 scenes later he's using her words on someone else to explain a situation. I totally do that isht.
Only a few more moments left before I have to go see my own. Ugh. I don't want to talk about feeling sad right now.
