Crank it up
I don't know if it was the remnants of the killer headache from yesterday or what but I was cranky today. I don't think I started out that way but as soon as I opened my email, it began.
I always like to just let people know of my crankiness from the get-go, trying then to not let it pervade everything else. I tried to focus on a few unique projects I've got going this week - a presentation tomorrow, some deadlines later in the week, a presentation next Monday to the largest group I've ever spoken in front of, plus the normal projects, church stuff, etc. I ended up staying a little bit later than usual and then running some errands on my way home.
Now I am sitting here, alternating between the need to do some things around the house, the desire to learn more about something so I can start a part-time gig at it, and getting into bed and watching a DVD.
The DVD will probably win.
Speaking of DVDs, last night I finally watched "The Illusionist". It was a fine film - I highly recommend it. Despite my innate desire to figure everything out, I was surprised in the end. Not totally 100% surprised but a very good part surprised.
And because I have completely random, eclectic taste...tonight's movie will be "Click"*. (I guess that decides it - I'm not doing anything productive tonight!)
I need to put "Blood Diamond" and "The Queen" in my queue. Any other suggestions? I heard "The Prestige" is very good.
*UPDATED: Ok, maybe it is my cranky mood but I could really have done without seeing this one....
