I’m So Lazy.

Too lazy to do the stuff I should today. Laundry, pick up the house, clean up the kitchen. Every thing seems a little out of reach. Funny, just by writing this I feel like maybe I should so some of it. I think maybe I’ll start by unloading the dishwasher and loading it up with last night’s dishes. Then maybe I’ll wipe down the counters and clean up all the trash. I suppose after all that it would be a good idea to take out the trash. That sounds like a good start…maybe then I would have a little under my belt and it would propel me to do more.

I watched Gangs of New York and at the risk of sounding unpopular, I really dug it. Daniel Day-Lewis was very good as Bill “The Butcher” Cutting. And though I usually dislike DiCaprio (that right old bastard from my alma mater), I thought he gave a good performance. I’ve never really thought much about the Civil War era or about the Irish Immigrants, but this film gave me a lot to think about. Recommended for fans of secret societies and the underworld.
