I took the job. It is a temporary (3 months - 2 years) Federal position, but that works for me. If it is wonderful, I will be sorry for it to end. If it fills me with woe, I know it will end. Truth be told, I'm excited and scared. It will be work as a paralegal, but in a completely different field of law. A high pressure, high volume, go-go-go kind of environment, but I have needed a challenge for quite a while. And the pay is good and the people I met were the sort I enjoy.
I will save money and learn something new.
Friday night, as further birthday celebration, I saw the director's cut of Donnie Darko with C. and H. It is a fantastic movie, but there were parts of this version that left me less than happy. The opening song is different - a great song was chosen, to be certain, but I thought the original fit so well. There are other things, as well. I will likely stick with the original despite the added bits that should have been in the first cut.
After the movie, had lovely pasta dinner with lovely H. and lovely C. Beautiful pasta. My wild mushroom ravioli was dark grey/purple. A fabulous color for food. Then we went and saw Garden State. A beautiful movie on many levels, but it made me so sad. Not that the ending is sad, but it made me sad. In a few weeks, I'll go see it again to see if it still makes me sad. Either way, I highly recommend it. I don't think it will make others so sad.
I'm off to read a comic lent to me by C. I am excited. There was a terrible movie made, based on this series, but so far, I have learned that it was the movie makers and not the authors/artists that were to blame.
