stars

i'm sitting home anxious for gareth to get back from work. we have an adventure ahead of us. not an exciting one though i hope. as i was picking up his present after work tonight my car broke down. i'm hoping it's just a dead battery. but i've got to wait for gareth to jump it. i asked a man getting into the car behind me if he could jump me and he said no. that's the holiday spirit. i had to walk home. just a half hour. but still tiring after a days worth of work. i'd actually had two days off in a row before today. we split the two movies we'd wanted to see into two movie days. milk was pretty sad. but really good. i thought i heard two women after the movie bad mouthing him and that made it even sadder. the other movie we saw was charlie kaufman's synecdoche, new york. that was pretty amazing. i'm still trying to figure out what it all meant and i don't think i'll ever know. gareth got me an awesome bday gift. a telescope. we haven't had a clear night since i got it but we checked out some local lights. i'm looking forward to seeing some stars.
