The ritual thing is supposed to be beneficial, but I've never heard of
doing it "together." Usually I got the picture it was something
each person does privately or even with a therapist, or friend, but not
with "the person." Sounds depressing as hell to me, and I agree in
that I think I'd rather work through it on my own somehow, even by
taking a hike alone or something. One thing I found about breaking
up is that it always seems to "spoil" places for me--a favorite
restaurant becomes painful, or a special place to take a vacation, etc.,
all that--even favorite t.v. shows watched together.
I can't wait for the X-files, but I wonder why they are starting so late
myself. Its almost finals time, and now I'll start watching t.v.
on Sunday nights. I read in t.v. guide that Frank Black from the
Millenium is supposed to show up on the two part opener, to "wrap up"
lose ends from the Millenium show that got canned.
One thing I have planned for this weekend is a concert on campus.
Things are pretty rare like that around here, but I went to an early
music festival a few weeks back and really enjoyed it.
I'm in maybe the worst feeling place I've been in a long while. I
don't exactly know what is wrong. I'm restless and antsy at
work--I've been thinking about splitting out to see an early movie.
Finals are pressing and one class Tax is going to be a nightmare.
"My dept" wants to do a Christmas Party on Dec. 3--I'm sorry, but I
can't handle that. That is a little stupid to me. I've
always had a final exam in the past because they did them on Friday
nights. They moved it to Sat. night this time. I hope it
wasn't for me, because I'm not going. I have no holiday spirit at
the best of times. Work is so slow. This morning I wrote
bills, balanced my check book, read stacked up newspapers, and am going
through my junk mail. What I do is accumulate huge stacks, then
shove it in my pack and bring it to work to go through it. I think
the millenium thing is depressing me as well. I feel I should
"plan" something. Also, I thought you and Julie were sort of
staying together until the Millenium, so you could be together then.
Has that changed? I finally finished Hannibal. It turned out
so absolutely bizarre. It is hard to imagine. I heard that
David Mamet is doing the screenplay. I don't know how in the world
it can be a movie. It would have to be a NC-17 rating.
