clerks II

i finally got around to seeing clerks II with my friends rod and alyssa. of course you must expect the gratuitous nature of kevin smith to get rather riske' the majority of the time, and yes... he does. this movie is brilliant but not for the light hearted. i had to continue to tell myself that it's only a movie so that i would separate the entertainment and not measure it against my values. anyway, check it out if you're not easily offended.
this past weekend was the first that followed my time back to work. i spent most of it trying to rehabilitate myself because the week took so much out of me. BJ was over saturday but he didn't seem to be feeling too well so there wasn't a lot i could do to make it better. those days/feelings are some of the worst because i want to badly to make a difference, especially since my time with him is limited. hopefully he will feel better today when i pick him up after work.
the heat wave that made it's way through this area these past few weeks seemed to finally let up sometime in the afternoon yesterday. that could be another contributor to why BJ wasn't feeling well, who knows. i know he loves to be outside and it was far too humid and hot for him to run around on saturday. we spent most of the day inside the house.

i also managed to catch the film lady in the water, which i highly recommend. i guess since i hadn't been to the picture show in several months, i wanted to check out two over the weekend.
besides, with the flock of films that are out right now, focusing on relationships/weddings/romance, i needed something of a thriller to offset the scales. i wasn't about to observe once again how quickly i'm reduced to tears with your typical date movies. it's pathetic really but time will take care of what needs to be healed.

the benefit show for Invisible Children has been contractually finalized, thank God. the two artists taking part will be Sleeping At Last and Hundred Year Storm. once i have the signed contracts returned from their agents, the 45 day promotional campaign begins. hopefully the kids will take a more significant role in getting this to the masses because i have less time on my hands now since i'm back to work. we called a meeting this thursday night to go over the action plan so we're at least going to have everything mapped out for the group.

i should get ready for work.
