Torch Song Trilogy

I'm thinking about the fabulous stage play and later on movie penned by Harvey Feierstein today for several reasons.

First, because it was a favourite film shared by Derrick and I (don't know him? He features widely at the end of Realm 1) and second because there are so many amazing quotes in the movie.

TST is like comfort food for me. It's solid, dependable, and amusing--perfect for moments when you feel less than optimal. At present, I'm in one of those moods. I feel unwell thanks to having about 3 hours of sleep last night, and also I'm having some career stressors. I've been thinking about a change in jobs for some time now, and I think the opportunity for changing may be in the immediate offing. I'm also grumpy about something in my personal life, which I'll not discuss now for various reasons. Let's just say that I'm horribly embarrassed about something recently observed.

Today has also been a day of walking out. I walked off my job because of fatigue, and I walked out of my apartment because I was grumpy and didn't want to subject others to my attitude until a moment could pass to allow 'tincture of time' to take effect.

For that reason, and a couple others, I'll quote:
"What am I worried about--with a voice and a face like this I can always drive a cab."

I hate money sometimes, and that's part of what's giving me angst. The uncertainty of career changes also has the uncertainty of having a steady pay check. I hate that. I also hate things over which I have no control, because try as I may, I tend to be a control freak, and like to "Wish I was on sure footing before the romance ends."

I need a fucking Prozac and 2 weeks. I'll return to "happy bob soon." fear not, children.
