It's Sunday. I just finished reading the papers. I'm drinking a cup of tea and eating a piece of toast with avacado. I'm in my PJs still. All is well in my Pluto-like world. Last night we were at Janice's house for a DVD and some Wii. Three of us decided on "Trust The Man" at the video store but when the movie started playing, everyone realized they'd seen it already. It took Jess 20 minutes to be sure. And it turns out that Jan, Moe and I actually saw it together last year. I honestly have no recall. We should've rented the French thriller instead.
This coming week I'll start working long-distance for Chicago. They're sending over some reading materials on Monday or Tuesday. The IT guy emailed me a bunch of PDFs on Friday night about company email policy, my work email address, how to name files, and the FTP server. Reading all that stuff made me feel something strange. I felt very employed. Yikes.
And I've already booked my appointment at the U.S. Consulate for my work visa interview. It's for Friday the 13th and I honestly don't care about any superstitious crap. In fact, I challenge the Superstition Gods to mess this up because they're going to have a freaking tough time of it.
Photo breakdown: Tommy Lee Jones in a Japanese ad for instant coffee. The question isn't why. But more, why not. And when they had to decide which photo to use, the question wasn't why two photos. But more, why not two photos? In the first photo, TLJ is like, "Where the hell is my instant coffee?" but in the second, he's thinking, "I look forward to my next instant coffee."
I clearly remember seeing those TLJ billboards in Tokyo last October. I remember wondering if his experiences with the campaign paralleled Bill Murray's character's experiences in Lost in Translation. That said, the photos could have been taken anywhere...
