Yesterday was a big pile of disappointment. Numerous things went wrong. And I have a stomach ache, so I am sure today won't be very good either. I'm going to sit at my desk and be grumpy for the rest of the day I think.

Movie - Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

Ben's latest thing is to watch real people movies. No explosions at all!

So last night we watched Guess Who's Coming to Dinner which is about a couple trying to get their parents' blessing to marry. Except it's the 1960s and the woman is white and the man is black. *gasp!*

The internet says this was very shocking when it first came out, the same year that the supreme court struck down laws banning such marriages. Today no one would really care, which says good things about progress in society.

I think if they remade the movie today (because hollywood is all about remakes right now), it should be with a gay couple to be relevant. Maybe the family friend who was a priest would take a different side then. It's interesting to contemplate, at least.

There was an aggravating chatty woman on the train today that could not accept that 1. I don't want kids, 2. It's none of her business.

She kept telling me I'd change my mind. And that I if I had one I'd change my mind. What if I didn't? It's not like you can return the kid to the baby store for a refund.

She was pushy too. I kept telling her that it really isn't up for discussion but she just kept going on. I was so incredibly relieved when I finally got to my stop.

That was just one tiny part of my awful day.

Things kept exploding at work. I tried to calm down by hand delivering a contract to a company a few blocks away, but I was locked out of their building. I had to call to be let in.

The president of the org snuck up behind me while I was goofing off. Metro was broken down and I missed my bus. I tried to cheer myself up with strawberries and blueberries and whipped cream, but I dropped it.

I kinda hate everything right now.
