Waking Up In The Darko

When I woke up this morning, my clock radio was playing the theme song from Donnie Darko. This was at 5:30 this morning and I was planning on going running. Instead, I was paralyzed by my memories of this movie. I lay in bed drifitng between dreams (mostly about hanging out with a giant, stuffed, bleeding rabbit) and being completely awake trying to piece the movie's narrative together. I think I saw this movie nine months ago.

So I finally got out of bed 45 minutes later having failed to run and having failed to put the Darko narrative back together again. Morning wasted.

I think another viewing of Donnie Darko is in order as soon as we're moved in and all the walls are painted. Um so that means I'll be seeing Donnie Darko somewhere between 2006 and 2009.

Now I'm off to solve all the world's speech problems. Or at least 17 of them, if no one cancels.
