In Bruges changed my life today

Today’s Lesson is brought to you by In Bruges:

I watched In Bruges today on HBO on Demand as I was reading my current book of choice which is The Bell Jar. It’s not really depressing but I do feel a connection to this cynical, apathetic, and disappointed person.  In Bruges taught me a few lessons.

1. Make sure there aren’t extremely innocent people around when you begin your assassination mission.
2. A new different person aka drug dealer will make even the most boring of the cities more interesting. And the lesson I can apply to my life…
3. It shouldn’t take one and a half dead kids to make me want to live.

Oh God where the fuck am I? Day IV is it ? Yes, I am flailing and failing out of the change life blog but the good news is that I’ve made great progress here in the real world. I am almost finished cleaning. Surely you are asking yourself

IN WHAT KINDA MESS WAS SHE LIVING?

Uh you don’t want to know. Nothing was growing on anything but there were piles of clothes on piles of clothes. I don’t know how it is possible to have so many clothes yet never have anything I want to wear when I go out.

I also secured a few interviews for some interesting positions and I gave my notice at work. I hadn’t been working there long so when I told them that I was giving my two weeks notice I just received an email saying “Sorry to see you go. When will be your last day?”  I hated the job. Anything else is going to be better.  There are certain people who like dealing with the public. I like to call them by their latin name of Raricus Lobtocus. There are also people who don’t like these jobs but can tolerate it. Finally there is me who works with the public and that makes her hate herself and the human race a fuckin lot. So I send up this prayer to God or whomever is responsible for answering prayers out there.

Oh Lord won’t you help me get a much better job. My friends don’t have porsches but I still need your help.

With a little help from a higher power the job issue will resolve itself. We have the householdyness getting better and so that means I need to take my lesson from In Bruges to heart.

I do want to live

And I do want to enjoy this life so that means I have to lose weight so that I can have as long a life as a healthy body affords you. How much do I need to lose? Well I haven’t seen or read anything lately that has made me brave enough to admit that truth so for now let us just say not quite Roseanne in her thicker days but not much more than her in the thinner days. So er a lot more than I should for a chick of 5’4″.

Tomorrow I’ll report back if I did actually get up from the couch and exercise.

I hope I do. I truly hope I do.
