So little to say...

WATCHING: Departed, The Martin Scorsese, director One of the better movies I've seen over the past couple of years. What a cast - Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin - and they all mesh to make this tale of the two(?) sides of the law work, and work well. Filled with trademark Scorsese elements (apeture fade in out; killer soundtrack), the movie - while longish by today's standards (2.5 hours) - goes along at a good clip and you almost wish it would never end. Highly recommened All movies

At my best, I'm quite the boring boy.

But recently, I have exceeded that label - I am now Uber-boring boy!

Really, not much going on here. I had hoped to go to a friend's gallery opening last Friday, but the work week was so hellish that I had a rough time getting through the work day Friday, much less driving to Chicago for the main event that evening.

Man, I suck.

This weekend - a little yard work, some work work, watched a great movie (see Watching box) and ... and now it's almost Sunday evening and, WTF? The weekend has evaporated.

Have I become the Happy Idiot?

And go to work each day
And when the evening rolls around
I'll go on home and lay my body down
And when the morning light comes streaming in
I'll get up and do it again
...
I'm going to be a happy idiot
And struggle for the legal tender

-- Jackson Browne, The Pretender
