Aaaaahhh.. Done.

The United Way Kickoff went smashingly, I think. The timing was mostly perfect (and when it wasn't, is wasn't my fault.. some people just can't read things in the order they were written...). I think everyone liked my slideshow. One of the men on the board said he didn't see a dry eye in the house, but I think he was just being nice. Ah well. It's done now, and I can go back to PPT Pace.

Hey, life is funny, eh? I mean, people are funny. We interact in such odd ways. I was riding the bus to work this morning, and as we were going down Main Street, some guy in a pickup truck was in the opposite lane. He was singing to the radio. I looked at him and smiled cuz, well, it's funny to see people do that. He saw me looking at him, so he smiled too. When I looked away, he just starting singing LOUDER, until I looked over again. He had this hilarious "Ehn? Ehn?" look on him, and I just cracked up on the bus, as we pulled away from each other. Just thinking about that has made me smile all day. It's just.. Funny. It gives you that feeling that we're all in it together, hm?

Have any of you read in the paper about that girl who ate a poisonous mushroom, and almost died? Her grandmother is one my clients, so I've heard all about it. It's pretty crazy. If you haven't read, this girl and her boyfriend were in the 'Chi looking for mushrooms (of the magic variety, no doubt.. this is prime harvest time). They weren't really sure what they were picking, so they picked this. Long story short, she got send to Ontario to get a new liver, and almost died when the poison caused brain swelling.

I started feeling pretty smug about it. I would never be stupid enough to ingest something that I wasn't sure about. But of course I have! It's sort of scare to think about the risks I took. Hmm.

In the same vein (haha, pun intended..), I bought Requiem for a Dream this weekend. Honestly and seriously, I think they should play this movie to High School students to discourage drug addiction. This movie is HEAVY. Even after the second viewing, I was still affected by it.

Also, I've noticed that this is the 3rd film I've purchased that stars Jennifer Connelly. Do I have a subliminal crush on this girl?
