UNGH! UNGH!

Yes. Those were the words coined by my boyfriend, Eric, to describe what a particular sex scene in a movie was NOT like. "They're naked, but I mean they're all like UNGH! UNGH!"

Well, I had an interview today, and it went pretty well! They were impressed with my experience in processing and data entry skills and think I'd be a great candidate for a job at their Pacific Life account, for temp-to-hire. I'd be starting at somewhere between $11 and $13.50 an hour, which is only slightly less than what I'm currently making. So yay!

The dilemma remains - checking account? What do I do, hmmm? I still have to pay of my Ameritas Credit Union loan, but I don't really want a permanent checking account there because well...to make deposits, I'd have to go to Lincoln. Which I, obviously, want to avoid. So no. No, no, no.

Maybe I should look into checking elsewhere, and post-haste.

I'm feeling pretty good. Despite my car and my debts, I'm getting a new job, I'm going to be in Omaha more often, and I get to be around my friends and Eric more. And rehearsals. And I'm looking forward to Chicago in a week and a half, woot!

There are so many details to work out right now. Transitions are always the worst. I just need to "get over the hill" and make it to the goal.

And I hope I can easily coordinate work/The Seagull rehearsals/Don's movie/time with boyfriend.

"Boyfriend..." You know, I never envisioned myself saying that word. I was so cynical about dating for such a long time. But...I don't know. It's like someone saw past me and was able to pull the spurned, wounded romantic out of his protective shell again.

That actually reminds me of something Don said once about gay male relationships.

"DON: What the hell is with all this 'partner' bullshit? Why can't we just say the word - 'boyfriend'? ..............Except for when you turn 50, because then it just sounds silly - when you turn 50, it becomes 'fuckbuddy'."

And Munich was an incredible movie. And I enjoyed Underworld: Evolution even though I'd never seen the first one.

And then there's The Squid and the Whale....yeah....young adolescent boys masturbating in public and wiping their jizz on the library shelves and peoples' lockers...Did I mention the movie was weird? And I hated Jeff Daniels' character, wanted to punch him in the face? It was well-acted, don't get me wrong, but...jizzwiping...

Eric and I are going to make a horror flick, titled "Jizzwiper", starring Dakota Fanning as the jizz! We actually kept saying "starring Dakota Fanning" after all the previews and stuff we saw, when we movie-hopped on Saturday. And the "Charlotte's Web" web movie will be re-titled, "The Dakota-Fanning-Sure-Loves-Her-Pig Show".

Anyway, I'm gonna get the hell out of this crazy workplace. I'm gonna miss some of my co-workers, but...yeah, it's time to bail. This operations department is slooooowly goin' under. Abandon ship.

I'll end with awesome dialogue exchange as can only be captured by the eloquent P.T. Anderson in the film "Magnolia":

DONNIE: (drunk) I'm sick.
THURSTON: (pleasant) Stay that way!
DONNIE: I'm sick and I'm in love.
THURSTON: You seem the sort of person who confuses the two.
DONNIE : That's right. That's the FIRST time you've been right! I CONFUSE THE TWO AND I DON'T CARE!
(Donnie looks up at Brad the Bartender)
DONNIE: Hey...HEY!
(Brad looks, startled. Donnie stands up, backs away from the bar as he talks)

DONNIE: I love you. I love you and I'm sick. (looking down) I'll talk to you...I'll talk to you tomorrow. I'm geting corrective oral surgery tomorrow. For my teeth. I love you, Brad. Brad the Bartender. (beat, crying) You wanna love me back? I'll be good to you. I'll be god damn good for you. And I won't be mad if you don't know who said what. I won't punish you if you get the answer wrong. I can teach and tell you--
THURSTON: Brad, honey, you have a special secret crush over here I think, don't take him too lovely - he might get hurt--
DONNIE: You mind your own business!!
THURSTON: Gently, son!
DONNIE: Brad, I know you don't love me now--
THURSTON: "It's a dangerous thing to confuse children with angels."
DONNIE: (pointing at the TV gameshow) And you wanna know the common element for the entire group, like he asks...I'll tell you the answer: I'll tell you, 'cause I had that question. I had that same question. Carbon. In pencil led, it's in the form of graphite and in coal, it's all mixed up with other impurities and in the diamond it's in hard form.
(Jimmy Gator impersonation)
"Well...all we were asking for was the common element, Donnie, but thank you for all that unnecessary knowledge! Ah, kids! Full of useless knowledge, eh?" Thank you, thank you!
(beat)
And the book says: "We may be through with the past, but the past is not through with us."
(To Thurston)
And...NO...IT IS NOT DANGEROUS TO CONFUSE CHILDREN WITH ANGELS!
(Donnie stumbles out of the bar to the bathroom)
