I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

i feel like i'd end up more on the opposite side if anything...what about it then turned you off?
Nothing turned me off, I think it just felt slight and goofy. This time I related to the existential crises so much
gotcha...i was really aware of my own existential crises back in those days, even if it was minor comparatively...but it is quirky and goofy also

I think I might watch a movie tonight. No idea which one though. My wife is working so I think I'm gonna go with something I know she has no interest in seeing.

I'm watching The Lost Boys, thanks to Nightbooks and Chvrches' endorsement of it; how have I never seen this? it's great, and its influence on Buffy and The X-Files is clear
