Garrick and I watched the most bizarre movie ever made last night; “Synecdoche, New York.” I think I spelled that right. It was so weird, the weirdest movie I have ever seen. Ever. Part of it takes place in a place I grew up, Schenectady, which made it even more strange for me.

It’s about this guy who is a director and his struggles with life. He gets some sort of grant and decides to put on this massive play. The play is never actually performed, but he finds this huge warehouse to stage it. He hires thousands of crew members and actors to play out the parts and casts people as himself and others in his life. There are all these really weird parts. Like the warehouse. Because there is a warehouse in actual life, there has to be one in his play, too. So there is a warehouse in a warehouse. There is also this woman in the movie and she is trying to buy a house. She goes into one house with her realtor and the place is on fire. She buys the house and lives in it for thirty years, and the entire time it is on fire.

Garrick actually bought this movie a while ago. I kept picking to up off of our DVD shelf and reading the back, each time thinking to myself “this description doesn’t make any sense. Perhaps watching the movie will clarify things.”

It didn’t.

This morning I am sitting in eye glass’s section of Walmart waiting for the doctor to get here so I can get an eye exam. I know my eyes are fine, the Army has been telling me so for years, but I need to get this done to renew my license.

Of course I got here an entire hour before the doc gets here. So I had to spend a good chunk if the morning wondering around one of the most evil places ever created. Walking around the store all I was feeling was constant annoyance. I really really dislike Walmart.

So, I finally broke down and did the unthinkable. I got a Facebook account ::shudder::

I was logging onto Garrick’s facebook all the time to check how Kristen was doing on the Rally for Kristen Facebook group. I noticed all the people who belonged to the group who probably would not have joined if they didn’t know me. I decided that it is not always about what I want and I owe it to the people who know me to let them know how I am doing.

Tonight I introduced Trent to markers! We had a lot of fun! Good thing they are washable. We enjoyed making shapes!
