Jesse Eisenberg gives a really solid performance. He’s the guy you love to hate while you simultaneously feel sorry for him. The rest of the film was also well-cast. Justin Timberlake plays a convincingly smooth-talking pseudo-psycopath; Bryan Barter rounds out the male leads as the jilted ex-best friend and one of the more relatable, grounded characters. The film is many things, one of which is an examination of the patho-personality and psychology behind nature of our society’s idealized success fantasy. There was an abundance of high-level techie talk in the beginning of the film, and some very fast-paced conversation between the characters.

This very clearly stared me down on the way to Grey Gardens callbacks. Yes, it’s a sign. But is it a Sign?

Just like Doc and Marty, I’m doing a little science experiment of my own. It could also end in a spectacular exploding train wreck. I’m going to try integrating my blog, Twitter, and Facebook. These things should happen:

Life is tough where I am now.
Nobody calls, the phone sits still.
    
I pretend to go about business
To which I sentenced myself long ago.
    
But I want to sleep
And cry.
    
No one can touch my heart,
It is cold and aches
When others approach.
    
Still sits the phone, calls nobody.
Now am I where tough is life.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. Go about your business.

However, I am seriously considering getting a better home router since my Linksys went on the fritz for half a day yesterday. I upgraded the firmware, so maybe that will help. Hmm… methinks Sonicwall, perhaps?

I miss her greatly today.

I want to hear her voice again, see her smile, feel her touch.

I thought I would be all right.

But I was wrong.

I distract my self with anything – everything I can think of. But the emptiness is still there, shouting through the din, slowly devouring me with its silent pain. Always.

Always.

A huge part of my heart is missing.

In typing my last blog entry I realized that elation is a big part of the word relationship.

But, then again, if you rearrange the letters you can also get hailstone, antihero, hernia, hospital, loathe, ethanol, sharpen, a-hole, and rip into, so maybe that doesn’t mean so much after all.

I’m absolutely beaming right now, but I’m trying not to show it, as is my style.

I just had the best meeting with my manager. Apparently I’ve been doing well. I won’t post all the details on here but suffice it to say that it was a very good impromptu meeting. Sort of a “keep up the good work” type of thing, but a bit more specific than that, obviously.
