So, I saw Cloverfield tonight. Excellent flick....I almost wish this movie had come out in the summer.
Speaking of movies, all the speculation about THE DARK KNIGHT bugs me. Look, I am looking forward to this movie as much as the next Batfan/comic book nerd, but I think people need to get perspective. A guy with a baby girl and loved ones has died. A guy I'd think of as a kid, as he was only 9 years old when I was a freshman in college. He had his whole career and his whole life ahead of him, and now that's done and over.
This isn't in any way a commentary about SG Batfans...y'all are cool. It's all the other media speculation and the grief frenzy that takes over when someone famous dies. Much of the coverage is very respectful (which is a nice change of pace) but a lot of it bugs me. There are just details I don't need or want to know. And the movie will be good even with the tragedy surrounding it. It's just a damn shame, all around. But enough, already. Let's just get back to living life and not morbidly wondering how they'll finish shooting it. At least that's what I'm going to do. Plus there's this movie, as well:
So much to distract me this summer!
I sometimes speculate about things that will never be, or become focused on something and realize it is negative when it is far too late. I get insecure when around people much younger than I am who seem to really have it together. It's frustrating to want to be more and feeling like there isn't much more to be, anyway.
I think I look at SGC as something I can do without the girlfriend, because so much of my life spills over into my relationship now. My boss has invited my gf to a Guitar Hero III party. No one at my last few jobs EVER met my gf. I've always tried to keep my personal and private life away from my work life. I tend to compartmentalize way too much.
So I'm not ashamed of anyone. I think, like tonight (she went bowling with one of her girl friends) we need time apart to keep from driving each other crazy. After seven years you pretty much know every possible way to drive each other nuts.
I'm also vague about many things, but that's probably for the best.
Um, yeah.
EDIT: Damn insecurities. Fuck them, anyway.

Heath was a really good actor. And a parent.
Sad, all around.
