Mental calendar...

Today was a bit of a rough day for me.
Nothing bad happened really, but I was in a low mood most of the afternoon. I was getting down on myself over the way things have been going the past few months, with a long trip through "you suck at maintaining relationships-ville."

Which is odd, since, despite everything I've gone through, my mood's been pretty good.

Then it kicked in.

My grandpa's yahrtzeit (the anniversary of his death) starts tonight.

I still miss him. He was a quiet, patient, gentle man with a capacity to love people that was so great, it still amazes me when I think about it. I'd like to think that that I've gotten some of my better personality traits from him. I'm still sorry I never got a chance to record his war stories, and that he never got around to telling off grandma just once, (he had the patience of a saint...) I wear his old WWII dogtags most of the time, and I'm definitely gonna have them with me tomorrow.

I miss you Papa.

I saw an advance screening of "The Time Machine" tonight.

It was alright, gorgeous to look at, but the plot was weak, and seriously deviated from the book. Still, worth a watch if you've got the money to spare.

One line stood out.

"You, sir, are a man who's trapped, living within two words. 'What if...'"

That's me, a lot of the time, I think.
