Endings and Beginnings

[wednes]

Whelp, my very last day of therapy was yesterday. I had to do this thing where I write down my state of affairs when I entered the program 3 years ago versus where I am now. It's pretty amazing everything I've been able to accomplish. I don't flinch when people try to hug me anymore, and I don't smoke pot like it's my second job. I don't go off on people for no reason anymore, and I don't stay awake for days at a time, then sleep for a whole day. There's more, but I don't want to bore anyone with the ins and outs of therapy, Group, or EMDR. It was awesome though, and I'm a better person for it.

Watched 28 Weeks Later last week. More of the same really, but since it's more of the same of 28 Days Later, it was pretty good. Robert Carlyle is always fun to watch, and the main kids were pretty good. The US Army was portrayed kinda badly, but I guess that's to be expected. Overall, this film gets my recommends.

Both of my books are in production now. People are liking Cat's Apprentice more than I thought they would. So I'm dreading the release of that book a little less. I still have to get my head shot (LOL) taken for the book back, and I have a ton of edits to go over for both books still. It's pretty exciting, but it's also a lot of hard work. I'll be running my press release by you all once I've written it.

Also, I decided that without his integrity, Jon Stewart would be little more than Bill Maher. Not to slam Jon, I just mean that his integrity and straightforwardness, and his ability to put his money where his mouth is is nothing short of amazing. He's the most trusted news guy in America, the land of news guys. I love that Jon Stewart, and you should too! Old news, I know. I just felt like mentioning it.

My cab for work will be here soon, so I shall close.

What's wrong with Bill Maher?

I find his views on women to be laughably archaic.

Ah.. Well I can't disagree with you there. He is rather interesting in that regard. Okay, fair enough.

SO! - if I buy a book, that I have already read mind you, and mail it to you ~ would you sign it and send it back to me?

I actually thought the US Army came out of 28 Weeks Later looking pretty good. Their playbook was right on the money. If I'd have been in that situation I would've loosed the napalm as well. Plus Doyle The Sniper was the coolest horror movie character that I've seen in ages (I actually prefer 28WL to 28DL, as the infected were actually terrifying in this one, it didn't become predictable and I loved the whole road to hell is paved with good intentions theme.)

I think the individual soldiers looked good for the most part. But the whole thing about shooting everyone instead of just the infected was f'd up. I know they had a hard time telling who was who, but you can't just be shooting everyone because you were told to.

Then again, this may be why I'm not a huge supporter of the military. I don't really know what it's like to be in a war zone.
