Countdown to "300"

To say I'm having trouble concentrating today is putting it mildly. In the first place, my cousin tried to buy tickets ahead of time but they aren't putting them on sale until it opens on Friday. So the tension of not knowing if we'll even get in is unbearable.

Then the long, drawn-out effect of The Day Before is excruciating. I've been waiting for this film to come out since the October before last, meaning 17 months. October 2005 is when it went before the lens. And I'm not exaggerating to say that I've been waiting for it every single day since then.

The torment! The exquisite torment!

I'll just have to distract myself tonight with "Who's Afraid of Happy Endings?", a documentary on the romance industry airing tonight on Bravo at 9:30 my time. My friend Kelly Boyce is one of three writers profiled, and I know it's going to be great.
