Isn't is strange that no matter how confident we are in how good we are, we find ourselves completely frazzled and full of nerves when awaiting an interview. Today, my stomach was in knots, the kind you get when you get your heart broken...and for what? It turned out to be "just a conversation", instead of an actual interview. So, after the "convo", I feel much better in knowing that I will be in this same predicament tomorrow at 2:30 pm PST.
Okay, time to go prepare. Way to spring a last minute interview on me, Man!

Inception, the Movie
It is amazing to me how we find it AMAZING that whenever we see a movie, we are able to completely relate to what happened. For example, the movie Inception...my new spoogie, one of my girlfriends, and I went to Elmwood to see it on an IMAX screen - excellent choice, by the way. The visual effects were awesome, so unrealistic, but you feel like, "it could happen" while you are engrossed in the flick. Anyway, the movie is about people being in a dream, that go into a dream, that then go into a dream - so, it is a 3 layer dream, I know! I know! WTH? In the middle of the movie, I leaned over to my spoogie, let's call him Stanley with a C, and said, "I don't know what the hell this movie is about." He politely said, "I don't think we are supposed to."
After the movie, though, the three of us spent about 3 additional hours together and every chance we got, we mentioned the key words from the movie. "We need a KICK." "Are we Dreaming?" "Spin the top." We giggled, mostly because event though we didn't understand the movie as it was unfolding, once it was over, it seemed to be crystal clear.
Back at the ranch, Stanley and I had a heavier conversation...you know, the kind you have at your 6-month point? Well, we'd been "hanging out" for exactly 7 days - hence, the heavy conversation. He was going on about how, like in Inception, we'd done so much together in just 7 days...in the movie, what was 3 seconds in a dream, is actually a day in real life (numbers are definitely off, but you get the picture). So, I guess what he was saying is that even though it was only 7 days, it felt like 3 months had passed - in a good way, of course (making it still way too early for these conversations). We kept relating it back to the movie, the unrealistic, way-out-there visual effects, and all, it all made sense to us...somehow.
