I watched Mystic River tonight. Or last night, I suppose. And now I can't sleep. Not because anything in it disturbed me greatly. Just because I am now thinking about all the little things in my life that, if they had happened even a bit differently, could have altered who I am, where I am and how I am. They keep saying, "It's in the details," or some variation of it throughout the book and movie. It's true, life is in the details. Anyway, I won't bore you with my ponderings on life. Suffice it to say that it's why I'm up.
Sooooo. The movie was a lot like the book. Strangely the only things that they really changed were things that basically had no impact on the story. But it was pointless. Like, when the kid says, "That's a Sig, right?" in the movie. Well, in the book he says, "That's a Glock, isn't it?" Which, why change it from Glock to Sig? Why not just give the cop a Glock. Unless cops no longer carry Glocks (if they ever did, I'll admit I don't really know much about guns) and they did it for authenticity purposes. Also. When Dave is telling the cops how he hurt his hand? Garbage disposal vs. pool mishap. First one is the movie answer, second one is the book answer. Little things like that really get under my skin and I want to ask the screen writer Why?? But I'm a fucking freak when it comes to nitpicky things like that. My husband kept rolling his eyes at me. Can't say I'd blame him. If he were muttering during a movie I'd probably explode. We're so. Different.
Sometimes I wonder why we ever get along. I don't mind messes, he absolutely hates any kind of a mess. I mean, I keep the house clean but he can't even stand it if Ri's in his highchair making a mess. Whatever. I would read a book a day if I had the time. The last book my husband read was "Where the Red Fern Grows" for a paper in highschool. And I think he only read the cliffnotes version.
We do have the same taste in music, for the most part. Only he has this thing where he gets obsessed with a band and that's all he listens to for a month. Which drives me nuts. Because one month I'll have to listen to Aerosmith every day for a month and the next it will be Alice in Chains or Black Sabbath. All of which I enjoy, in moderation. He makes mix cds all the time. Only instead of putting various bands on one it will be a mixed 311 cd or something. He's so weird. But then, he probably thinks the same things about me. Haha.
I have my "quirks" too, I suppose. Like the hangers in my closet all have to be going the same way. And I have a black hanger, then a white one, black, white, etc. for my shirts. For my pants I have green hangers. When he helps me put laundry away he purposefully mixes my hangers up and it drives. me. nuts. NUTS.
There are other things. I used to iron my money. Well, my paper money. Now I don't have a lot of paper money so I suck it up and deal with my crinkly Georges. All my photo albums are in order. When people look at my films before I've put them in an album, it really irritates me. I get so mad when they get them all out of order and I have to use the negatives to determine which one goes first. Also, every time I take a picture with my film camera I write the number photo it is and the date. Because I like to know that stuff. Yeesh.
I'm starting to wonder how he lives with me! So I guess I will go. Before I bore you all to death (if I haven't already).
