All the kids will eat it up, if it’s packaged properly

I tried “Singles” again recently. I thought, maybe I judged it too harshly in the past. Maybe it’s not as bad as I remember? WRONG! Still awful! Not a single character who isn’t nausea-inducing! Annoying as hell! Despite the grunge-friendly* soundtrack. Speaking of grunge-friendly, yesterday I listened to “Incesticide” and Kurt Cobain’s anguished howling really hit the spot.
Yesterday at work was better. I just have to remember: do not allow yourself to get trapped by depressed/angry people who just want to shit all over you and offer nothing redeeming. Don’t do it. Stay away. You have a job to do, and it’s not psychiatrist (sometimes I wish I could dispense meds–TO MYSELF!).
I am working today but I’m bringing Maggie in, which is always nice for everyone. As long as I remember to take her outside 4-5 times to go potty, all should run smoothly. SHOULD. I’m trying to approach my day with a feeling of success! Let’s accentuate the positive, eliiiiiminate the negative!
* from the Wiki entry on “Singles” : One of the few Seattle bands of this era not to have a cameo was Nirvana, and according to Everett True’s 2006 book, Nirvana: The Biography, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain hated this film.
Do not like Singles either, save for the cute Eddie Vedder cameo when he was so young and almost baby faced. Movie makes me think of my ex who loved the grunge scene a little too much.
Pearl Jam gives me gas.
Agreed on Singles, but I’m a devoted PJ fan. I thought the soundtrack to Singles was its only redeeming value.
That’s okay, I like Cat Stevens, so I can’t judge anyone, really.
