goodbye scully mulder Saturday went well for me and so did today. The morning wasn't packed with activity, but that wasn't what I needed. I just wanted to take things slow for a few hours and I did. To put it another way, I finally feel as though I can relax. Some final details for the trip need to be worked out, but focusing on fun is not that big of an effort for me. My morning started out with a phone call to my buddy Nicole to see how her vacation was going and just to catch up with her in general. I hadn't seen and or spoken with her in a week and I missed her. Naturally something bad happened to her at the very beginning of her vacation and I got all of the sad details. Now when I say bad I don't mean that she ended up in the hospital or anything, but breaking a tooth does tend to put a damper on a week off from work. I've gotten the feeling that she never seems to be able to relax at home, which is probably why she is so carefree at work. A person has to be able to cut loose somewhere or else they'll snap at some point in time. Thankfully by the end of the conversation she was able to laugh and talk about other things. I'll get to see her one more time before I leave for Europe. ... Chris Carter managed to pack nine years worth of story references into the series finale and I suppose that that makes sense. It was his last chance on the small screen so he had nothing to lose, but at the same time I could see hints at another film being laid down for the faithful. Now with a gap in viewing on Sunday nights, I'll be able to switch over to Alias with ever charming Jennifer Garner when I get back from Europe. ... I've got mixed feelings about South Park so I was a little apprehensive about watching an early film that Matt Stone and Trey Parker made when they were still in college and unknown to the world. I guess that the best that I can say is that it had its moments. After seeing it, I was slightly envious of them. Just the idea of getting all of those people to go along with a crazy idea must be an incredible feeling and I wish that I could have made a film when I was in college. My good friend Dan made a half hour video called Vignettes, but for some reason I wasn't around when he did it. I still wonder today why he didn't ask me to help him with it. Then again his roommate was the one who wanted to be a screenwriter and not me.
