I don't smoke and quite frankly detest it. One thing I'll never show in my films.

Also I kinda need the caffeine in the morning since most mornings I usually only get on average six hours of sleep. Plus I can't for the life of me get to sleep at a halfway decent time without Advil PM. And melatonin doesn't do fuck-all. So naturally it rakes me awhile to get ready. I usually piss away most of my energy making my bed, taking a leak, sitting on the couch and trying to turn off my alarm before Carly Simon's "Let the River Run" repeats.

I mainly just vape and smoke when I drink on occasion. I smoke plenty of weed though. I can't go into specifics but I'm in the vape industry professionally and it's where I think I'll be working for the foreseeable future.

Temperature dropped literally the day after I buzzed my head.

On the plus side I'm getting over my seasonal head cold. Every the weather warms up in the spring, and again in the fall when it cools down, I get smacked with some seasonal BS. But now I'm not drowsy anymore, my nose isn't stuffy and my coughs are more productive.

It makes me smile to see some reviewers push back against the new Super Mario Bros. movie and actually revisit and appreciate the 1993 cult classic.

It's still one of my favorite films.

Both films are fun and deserve to exist.

I'm not trying to bash the new movie. I haven't seen it, though I have been annoyed to see a few people involved bash the 1993 film.

I'm mostly just happy to see the 1993 film get a little more attention and re-evaluation after being shat upon for thirty years.


*EDIT* In fairness, I should mention that I'm also pretty annoyed at John Leguizamo finally coming around on the 1993 film after trashing it for three decades just so he can bash the casting on the new one.

:cry: Did my taxes and between federal and state I owe over $700 and they both have to be paid by Tuesday, so naturally I won't have the money to even begin to put a dent into it by Wednesday.

You should have all the necessary paperwork to file your taxes in early February. In the future you may benefit from filing early so you aren't surprised like this.

Did you get your taxes done professionally again this year, or did you do them yourself?

As it is, you probably need to apply for a payment plan. For federal you should start here:

https://www.irs.gov/payments/payment-pl ... agreements

Your state should have something similar.

I would recommend applying today rather than waiting until Tuesday so you don't find yourself panicking (more).
