The Hills Are Alive

Tonight I went to the park to see an open air screening of The Sound of Music. All summer long, the park district screens classic films in the park for free. You can lay on a blanket and eat snacks while watching your fave movies. I'd seen The Sound of Music years ago. After viewing it again, I don't know if I like it or not. There are parts I do like, but I think it's kinda boring in some places and so very long. It should end when they get married but of course they have to introduce the Nazi stuff. Everytime I see the scene where she's singing: "The hills are alive with the sound of music" I immediately think of the movie European Vacation because Chevy Chase parodies that scene. But, whatever.

It's only Tuesday yet (technically Wednesday morning) and I'm already exhausted. I should really force myself to go to be earlier but I can't. I've been interning this week which is always better than actually working a real job. I've done some transcriptions this week and did one today where I couldn't understand what the hell the guy was saying. I got assigned the task to find out what the highest natural point in Chicago is. This is turning out to be a daunting exercise. I'm trying to do my best and go the extra mile and not complain and make myself available to everyone. I really want a job there so this is what I have to do. I haven't been working my temp job as much because they haven't had enough work for me to do. I'll be there on Thurs. and Friday which I know will suck. I'm looking forward to the long weekend which will entail a friend's birthday and some bbqs. I hope I get some time off to just relax. I should really take advantage of the time off. Today I also got a bunch of art assignments for New City. I'm looking forward to writing about art again and going to galleries. It's been a while. I have a new editor so hopefully it'll work out okay. I can't believe it's almost September. Time flies so fast.

The boy front has been relatively quiet. I guess it goes in spurts. In fact, today I realized a certain someone I was pissed off at last week, well, I don't think I'm mad at this person anymore. I kinda miss this person even though I shouldn't. Sometimes I just miss people that I shouldn't. I'm only human. I want all the guys, even the bad ones. I want them to acquiesce to me. I want them to want me whether I want them or not. I just like the attention. One will be out of town for the next few days so that sucks. Hopefully the other ones will come around. On Friday I have 30 60 word blurbs due for a website. I really need to get this project done and not let social engagements deter me. It'll be done but I just need to allow myself ample time to do it. I will be paid nicely for it. Hopefully in a timely manner.

Must. Get. Sleep. Now.

Oh, I can't believe Owen Wilson tried to off himself!
