Acrimony

I think I've pin-pointed the most cynical thing I've ever said in my whole life.

Scene: EXT. After a spring rainfall. Peterborough, Ontario.

Two people exit a house. One turns to the other.

P1: Don't you love the way things smell after a rainfall?

ME: Yeah. It smells just like fabric softener.

END SCENE!

Has anyone seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? You know the scene where Kate Winslet is pretending to smother Jim Carrey with a pillow? Apparently Charlie Kaufman, the writer (or should I say the writer) got that from a real life game he used to play with his girlfriend. The object is for one person to pretend to be dead for as long as possible while the other person pretends to be concerned.

Go and see "Ghost World." You want misanthropic? Oh, Brother!



"Gimme all your money, bitch!"



"Better give me two packs of smokes. Workin' a double shift! Sixteen hours!"



"You don't know what you're talking about."



"He doesn't even need that wheelchair. He's just totally lazy."



"What kind of question is that? It's totally irrelevant because a girl like that would never be caught dead with me."



"This is so bad it's gone past good and back to bad again."

p.s. I found out a little while ago that Erica and I were born in the same hospital.
