zesty_pintoSo Michelle finished all the original and prequel series and is probably going to re-watch "The Force Awakens" today. Re-watching "Return of The Jedi," I have to admit that I do like a lot of it and I realized that the cgi looks cheap as hell nowadays, but it's the acting that keeps everything together. It's so weird that most of the cast never really found work that they identified with outside of Harrison Ford (and it was for a Spielburg franchise of all things which is a lateral move imo).
And yes, I know Hamill is the man who created what many consider to be the best Joker of all the Batman franchises as well as a body of voicework in general that is really solid, but that's stuff in the 90's and not a lot really stuck for him right after that film franchise. In comparison, the prequel used a lot of established B to A listers who suffered a desert of work after that franchise for awhile as a result of Star Wars rather than previous work.
A Cracked podcast that discussed these "happy accidents" when it came to filmmaking also emphasized that a lot of Lucas' work came from the right timing and especially really good casting directors. I have to admit, I can see that.
Anyway, me? I'm home and trying not to fall asleep on myself. I've been having trouble sleeping these days. Maybe I don't exhaust myself enough properly?
The outside is cold and snowing and it's a reminder I should probably look through photos now that I don't have any real pressing issues right now and in the hopes it helps exhaust me.
I listened to Madness three days ago and I can't get the song "Uncle Sam" out of my head now. It's a bit frustrating.
WAIT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT SONG IS LIKE PLAYING IN YOUR HEAD REPEATEDLY?? HERE I HALP
I'm sorry. In truth, it's a fun song reflective of that fun ska sound that made Madness what it was. Looking at it now, it's also super-duper white dudes doing music influenced from a foreign land, but I'll accept it.
(good god, this post is turning into a script to "Dear White People" at this rate).
So a hard-luck friend of mine whom I met on LJ finally got a job in a library that I'm hoping she likes. I'm hopeful it turns out good for her since she's had a rash of bad career chances in terms of libraries. I also sent her a Christmas gift of jams, pickled vegetables, and a Pusheen with a pizza and a wrapped fifty with the words "GET SOME SUSHI." Her Twitter was bugging people for a sushi pal.
I'd offer to join because I want sushi too, but she lives in San Jose, hah!
I worry at times if I try too hard to find ways to give something to everyone I know. It's kind of annoying, like a product of feeling endlessly guilty for never doing enough. Maybe it's a good thing I was never kept into wealth (though reportedly my mom's side does come from it). The lack of sleep is making me blurt to myself self-deprecating comments. I hate when I get like this, I always feel like Michelle knows but holds her mouth about my "mumbling."
Anyway, I did offer to do laundry today for Michelle and I should probably clean up the kitchen too. Then I'll see what photos are worth keeping in my camera and share them if they look decent enough. It's been at least a month.
I also feel like I should be moving back to a major city again to find work. I don't know though, if we ever do have a kid, I'd rather it be here than in a city where I grew up never feeling like an actual kid. I don't know man. It's not like we even have kids set yet. Hell, we haven't even eloped yet despite how I keep telling her it's the best option and how I don't want any big thing afterwards; that we can save it for a renewal of vows or an anniversary when we have the money for these things. Michelle gets my point, but her parents always weigh heavily in her mind.
I'm writing too much again. Off to the kitchen!
