Nutty-ass Monday. I was working 'til late last night on my latest proofreading project and barely made it to work on time this morning. Then I spent half the morning on the phone -- not a good way to get your head straight on a Monday morning. Oh, well. At least it made the morning go fairly quickly.

Sometime last week, I noticed a bunch of signs around my neighborhood posted by someone looking for a lost cat named Manny. I thought that a pretty cool name for a cat, then remembered the title of that Luscious Jackson EP, In Search of Manny. Yeah, I thought, they're in search of Manny. Then, Saturday night, I watched the movie Go, in which there's a character named Manny. I didn't really think anything about it until the scene in which Manny -- rolling on X -- sees (hallucinates?) a sign for a lost cat named Manny. Holy shit, I thought -- we're ALL in search of Manny! It's the great quest of all humanity -- the Search for Manny.

Well, it made sense at the time. Sort of, anyway.



I also watched Donnie Darko. The weirdness of Go was no match for the tussin freakout of Darko. I really dig it -- I think. It freaked me out, but god hell, it was an experience. I've never seen anything like it. I gotta watch it again when I muster the nerve. Oh, and check out the website. It's just about as fucked up as the movie.

All right -- finally a finder amongst all these Manny seekers! That's kind of reassuring. :) Great pictures, too.

Hee Hee... thanks. I had to read your post to the old man, now he's all puffed up thinking the world is looking for him (G)

Heh, just call him "the old man" a few more times and that'll bring him right down to size.

*snort*... well, he's fourteen years older than me, so technically, he *is* the old man (G)

But no, I don't rub it in. I've always liked older men ;-)
