happy

I had three decent nights this week and the other two weren't horrible. So, considering I'm working Saturday night as well it should be a good week financially and I can start to catch up on some bills. Sunday will be reserved for football only. There are only four teams left so there are no frauds left like the Giants for example. Hate the Giants.
My heart wants Arizona but my head says Philadelphia and Pittsburgh will face off in the big game.
They [them who decides such things] let me go home early tonight and so, after my version of the evening martini I revisited "Adaptation" staring Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Chris Cooper and Nicolas Cage. This film easily makes it into my all time top 25. There's a scene near the end when both brothers are hiding in the woods and talking:
Charlie Kaufman: There was this time in high school. I was watching you out the library window. You were talking to Sarah Marsh.
Donald Kaufman: Oh, God. I was so in love with her.
Charlie Kaufman: I know. And you were flirting with her. And she was being really sweet to you.
Donald Kaufman: I remember that.
Charlie Kaufman: Then, when you walked away, she started making fun of you with Kim Canetti. And it was like they were laughing at *me*. You didn't know at all. You seemed so happy.
Donald Kaufman: I knew. I heard them.
Charlie Kaufman: How come you looked so happy?
Donald Kaufman: I loved Sarah, Charles. It was mine, that love. I owned it. Even Sarah didn't have the right to take it away. I can love whoever I want.
Charlie Kaufman: But she thought you were pathetic.
Donald Kaufman: That was her business, not mine. You are what you love, not what loves you. That's what I decided a long time ago.
Charlie Kaufman: Thank you.
Donald Kaufman: For what?
