^something like that.

The same old boring 'other half' on the sauce problem this evening, crossed with my inconsiderate decision not to put the making of documentary on the Prometheus DVD he was going to buy tomorrow.

I am clearly somehow responsible and how I could have had the nerve to question this is beyond me!

This has somewhat spoiled my scorecard as at around glass one I was the genius world's bestest boyfriend who by incorporating beetroot shavings onto a pizza, made the best pizza in recorded history happen and around glass eight or nine... me, what a git me!

I'd love to have one, it's just that my mustache always ruins the picture.. always so... rubbish and teenagery.

I know. I kinda miss it, too. I'm just trying out this new kind-of-goatee look.

It will take something like 5-6 months to grow it back the way it was.

Skype IM, Tumblr "question" (basically a PM), and a text from the old crush tonight. Kinda out of the blue (we haven't really spoken since she decided that the other guy was a better choice this spring), but I had this strange feeling like it was bound to happen soon.

Started off fairly cordial. Then I decided to lay it on her.

"You realize you really hurt me when you took off, right?"

"I know that very well."

"Ouch."

"I had to, sam."

"Had to?"

"Yes"

"Gun to your head?"

No reply.

Bah.

The following is basically my two cents worth of opinion, based on what little experience I have.

Those chicks aren't worth talking to. More trouble than they're worth. If a girl respects you, she will at least attempt to remain friends with you. If there's no respect, there's no friendship.

but I had this strange feeling like it was bound to happen soon.

Wishful thinking maybe. Are you sure you're over her?

LOL PWND.

But seriously, not only it's an awesome comeback, it's also good to get things off your stomach, so you can move on. That "bah" of yours just about sums it up, you realized it's not worth it to even attempt an intelligent conversation with this person.

Over her? No, not quite. I'm getting there; this helped.

I wouldn't have dealt with her for as long as I had if she hadn't been one of the few to get under my skin, and she really did. Drug me around for two years with all the promises and affection and suddenly there was some other guy.

Partially my fault. I was too cocky and had too much faith that she was in my bullpen, and so I just always assumed it was official (and by the way we were, nobody would think otherwise) when I guess for her it was not.

Ah well. That's the way the cookie crumbles.

Netflix Canada is a joke. What little they have available to watch that I'm interested in I've already seen.

Besides, I can't log into the site from this computer, and the laptop's in the pawn shop.

Time heals all wounds. (I know, it's cliché but it's true for most of us)

Myself, I find different approaches to healing, and they all seem to work. (or so I hope!!!)

One is really letting hate take control of you (though this usually results in lack of sleep). But at least I feel relieved in the morning.

Another one is eating and smoking, and basically whatever else keeps my mind busy.

But I find I've changed some, since all those things happened to me. I find it difficult to cry, I feel like I've hardened. Sometimes I feel like I should be crying, and I want to cry, but I just can't.

I really do think and behave differently. I recently came to the realization that I'm in a phase of my life which I call "Fuck it". Anything bad happens, I just think "fuck it". I don't think it's surrender, I think it's just a way of moving on for now, and dealing with something later, like for example my guitar and my two computers are FUBAB. I am sure I am going to deal with them in a later moment, like I am doing currently with uni, to which I had said "fuck it" some months ago.

I want to bitch about the NCAA.    I have hear they they are banning all NCAA championships and playoffs from taking place in NJ.   They are doing this to protest the fact that NJ is trying to legalize sports betting in Atlantic City.    This is ridiculous.   

  1. No matter what NJ does,  sports betting probably won't get legalized here because of federal legislation banning it in all but a few states.  
  2. Of course I could argue that federal law shouldn't be legalizing something for a few states but not the rest
  3. it can also be argued that since that sports betting is not mentioned in the US. Constitution, that the 10th amendment applies and that it is up to the states to regulate sports betting as they see fit and therefore the federal legislation banning sporting betting in all but a few states is therefor illegal. 
  4. sports betting was put on the ballot a year ago and approved by the majority of New Jersey voters. 
  5. why should the NCAA care whether or not NJ has legal sports betting?
  6. Need I saying anything about the fact the more people are paying attention to NCAA events, namely march madness,  because of legal and illegal sports betting(remember higher ratting=more money for the NCAA)?
  7. Does anyone actually think sports betting isn't already happening in NJ?
  8. Guess where all the profits go for sports betting in NJ?   Maybe to the mobs and other illegal entities?    
  9. Just where would the NCAA prefer profits for sports betting to go?   criminal organizations or the likes of Donald Trump?(not that I have any desire to make Trump more money, but I do have a desire to see that criminal organizations make less money)
  10. f___ the NCAA!   I say NJ schools should refuse to participate in NCAA championships and playoffs that would have otherwise taken place in NJ had it not been for the ban.

Good news about hair. I don't think I can grow a respectable beard. After many weeks I can have a passable goatee, but otherwise I'd just be scruffy-looking. I do have thick hair atop my head and I don't anticipate baldness in my future.

On the sports betting, I agree it's not right for some states to have exemptions; I didn't even know that was the case. I imagine the rationale for federal regulation is the Commerce Clause. If marijuana growing/selling counts as interstate commerce, why not sports betting? So I'm afraid the 10th Amendment would have little power. You're right, Warbs, that it can be argued, but we'd have to argue the very difficult proposition that it isn't interstate commerce.

I'm skeptical of regulatory bodies exercising expansive powers. And I'm glad you see a difference between criminal organizations and Donald Trump ;)

Perhaps it is the lacking testosterone which impedes my facial that also makes me so oblivious to sports, but I think the NCAA should focus on their sport, not on the laws of NJ.

The blue elephant in the room.

There's finally something else for me to complain about in the film world. Pathe recently restored Children of Paradise, and then they botched the transfer badly onto Blu-ray. The video quality is getting some mixed to negative reviews, and it will never be fixed. This film is considered one of the cultural landmarks of French cinema, and the transfer onto Blu-ray is simply a disappointment. It treason against the French people IMO. Criterion had no choice but to use the transfer, and it will never be recalled and redone. I feel empty inside and borderline depressed because of this, and I want the people at Pathe to suffer horribly for making me miserable for the rest of my life. I will never be whole ever again.

Back to my rant. Some people say the Children of Paradise transfer is so bad it looks waxy and computer generated at points. I really want to own this film on Blu-ray (as I haven't seen it yet), but I'm not sure if pathe and/or criterion would recall it and correct it soon. I may end up buying it anyways, but I still feel pretty bad about what I've heard from purists (Robert Harris was saddened by the transfer and said it should be recalled) about the video quality. And still, I want to wreak havoc on Pathe for how they handled the restoration. I would complain on criterionforum, but I have no idea if they will approve my posts or not.

I Hope Criterion handles Le Samourai better, as Pathe has botched that up as well.
