Adaptation

My favorite line from Adaptation (Nicolas Cage)

 

At a seminar, Charlie Kaufman has asked McKee for advice on his new screenplay in which 'nothing much happens']
Robert McKee: Nothing happens in the world? Are you out of your fucking mind? People are murdered every day. There's genocide, war, corruption. Every fucking day, somewhere in the world, somebody sacrifices his life to save someone else. Every fucking day, someone, somewhere makes a conscious decision to destroy someone else. People find love, people lose it. For Christ's sake, a child watches her mother beaten to death on the steps of a church. Someone goes hungry. Somebody else betrays his best friend for a woman. If you can't find that stuff in life, then you, my friend, don't know crap about life. And why the FUCK are you wasting my two precious hours with your movie? I don't have any use for it. I don't have any bloody use for it.
Charlie Kaufman: Ok, thank you.

 

I was just thinking about that qoute on my walk during lunch.

 

Seems like everyone has it out for me today.

 

First, I get to work late thanks to an unannounced delay on the Red Line. I wanted to throw a guy off the train for not giving up his seat to this old lady who was obviously struggling to stay standing. People are just sometime oblivious to the world around them.

 

Then, I get to work to be harassed about projects to be done. Listen folks, give me your Form 4s, your closing binders, proof reading and they will get done. Just cause you are having a bad day doesn't mean you take it out on the little guy (I'm using that term figuratively, of course).

 

Lunch, Quizno's oven burns my sandwhich to a crispy dead turkey, the Oven rotation thing stops and everyone in line is looking at me like I did it!! I said, no worries, I don't really want the sandwhich anyway. I got to Subway and the line is freaking out the door. That's it!! At least it was a nice day. So I walked around, went to my favorite smoothie place where I proceeded to wait in line for another twenty minutes. I'm addicted to the Matcha green tea flavor.

 

So back at work, and digging away at license applications, and binders.
