Been sick as a dog...missed several days of work...of course I miss work, that means I lose money-we all know that when Kevin makes EXTRA money (bonus AND stocks!), then something has to come up to negate said extra money...or put him further in the hole. No getting ahead here, sucker!
Trip to Florida....we might as well consider it dead. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is that Darren's having, I should have the details soon I'd hope, but it's looking %99 a bust....can't say I'm terribly happy about it. $500+ on airfare and tickets, only to have plans die less than a week later-it's not like it's going to hurt my wallet, I can afford to throw that around, my point is that I'd rather NOT. Again, though, I should have expected as much-I stuck my neck out for someone, I put a considerable amount of money and faith into a loved one whom I believe I can trust....and they always let me down.
Saw an archival print of the 1933 King Kong last night, Ray Harryhausen(!) presented it and closed with a lengthy Q&A. We also got to see some work he's produced lately, based on a project he long ago abandoned. Joel should get the pictures to me soon from my brief conversation with Harryhausen, I've only seen one....and I look like a complete gimp, the snap taken midconversation, my face contorted oddly and Harryhausen looking like he's about to take a bite of me. Tim will be most excited to find that I had a copy of "The Art Of Ray Harryhausen" signed for him....
King Kong. Hadn't seen it since childhood, but some pieces fell into place:years ago I wondered why Kat looked so familiar, and I can see a heavy resemblance to Fay Wray/Ann Darrow. Funny timing to be reminded of Kat, as my odd living/romantic/crisis situation(s) remind me of that summer. Kat, I'm so sorry for my behavior. Perhaps this reminder is a suggestion...
I suppose I COULD still go to Florida, and see Tim...but I have no desire to return there. I'd simply be pissed off to be there without the original plan, and to see KX in FL without Darren would just be bittersweet.
Just so full of ghosts that I can't turn into words...
