Yep, I’m that bad a moviegoer. If you don’t believe me, let me assure you that the movie I saw prior to the aforementioned was New Moon. And before that? I don’t even remember! Julie and Julia, perhaps?
Of course, if we expand my movie-watching to include films viewed at home as well as en theater, we can add such goodies as, um, Julie and Julia again (yeah, it was on Movies on Demand and I demanded it!), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (on FREE Movies on Demand, which I love), and Mad Men Season 2. I know, I know, that’s not a movie. You people are sticklers!

The party was good. Conversation flowed like the fine wine we quaffed, and I didn’t even need to mention yoga. I woke up with a matted tangle of hair on the back of my head rivaling the teasing in Olivia Newton-John’s mane after she went all bad-Sandy: “Tell me about it, stud.”
And my head still hurts, and it’s almost 5 pm. Which means, like I said, party was good.

Few things make me more cranky than waiting for money that’s due to me. I’ve trained myself not to even expect a check until after the first 30 days post invoicing, but when someone tells you it’s going to be sent on one day, and then it isn’t, it’s even worse than if they’d told you it was going to be 60 days in the first place.
That said, I realize companies have their own systems of paying you, and I’m sure those are highly intricate and complex machinations, but God, man! I have my own needs for the money I’ve earned (past tense) from you.
