I had the great delight and utter misfortune of seeing The Latest Catastrophe Flick starring The Latest Actor You Haven’t Seen In a Long Time and Here’s Why. It’s that “Day After Tomorrow” or “Yesterday’s Gone” or “Tomorrow is Never Today” or whatever movie. I’m not going to spoil it for you, because that is by definition IMPOSSIBLE, but I will agree that the special effects are pretty forking cool. However, in a tent, post-apocolyptic, having just lost his best friend (oh, the agony), Dennis Quaid actually says, “I don’t know what’s going to happen. It depends on if we learn from our mistakes.” Looks down, shakes his head, pauses pregnantly. “I only hope I learn from mine.”

I burst out laughing. I couldn’t help it. But I was captivated when tornadoes destroyed Los Angeles.

My man drove for 20 hours STRAIGHT yesterday. He didn’t stop until he was in Montana at his friend’s campground. Apparently he threw his sleeping bag pad onto the ground and fell asleep right next to his Jeep. He’s been very good, called me ten times at least already, but he’s gone. And not really mine anymore.

It’s been a torturously boring day at work, filled with sludge and dredge, oily and smelly and slow. However, I have a big fat meeting tonight, with a big fat opportunity, and I hope it knocks loudly.

My advice to you: eating popcorn and M & M’s for dinner is BAD NEWS. I promise.
