When time stands still

Today has been a long day.

Usually that is synonymous with a bad day. You can seldom have a long day without it also being bad…hence long is the definition of a bad day in this case. Usually in movies when someone asks the main character about their day, and he or she answers that it has been a “long day” the audience are immediately reminded of the previous hour of the movie which in most cases included at least 3 explosions, 5-20 deaths (depending on the type of action movie in question) and/or a social dramatic situation involving a character of the opposite sex to the main character.

So you are probably reading this thinking something bad happened to me today. Perhaps I blew something up or maybe someone died by gunfire in front of me…or possibly a fight with my boyfriend? If any of this had happened, I probably would have called it a long day…so you wouldn’t be totally off if you guessed such a thing. I do think I would have maybe called it an “awful” day though…if someone had been shot down in front of me. Maybe even a “tragic” day…or “sad”. “Long” doesn’t quite describe the sensation it would be to see someone being blown to pieces in front of your very eyes…not that I have ever seen that…*knock on wood* wouldn’t want to either…but Im just saying it. To clarify.

So…if nothing blew up…and no one got shot…and I didn’t fight with my boyfriend…why has it been a long day? I honestly cant tell you. I slept till noon…almost…which is the longest Ive slept in weeks and maybe months. I watched TV till about 3pm…3 hours which pretty much felt like at least 6. Then I went for a walk…I guess I might have been out a short hour…50 minutes perhaps? Felt longer…but it was only about 4pm when I got home. Ive watched 3,5 movies today, painted my toenails, eaten everything eatable in the apartment…probably gained a few pounds…and still its only 8.45 pm. Time have been standing still. Perhaps I got abducted by aliens. Ive heard time is supposed to stand still when that happens…but I doubt the aliens would have made me watch bad movies all day. I did get to watch one good one though. I re-watched “Lucky Number Slevin”. I had forgotten how much I enjoy that movie. The one-liners follow each other one after the other through the entire movie. It’s a definite “must see” if you haven’t already. Great film.

Hmm…it is now 8.53 pm. So I have killed about 15 minutes of time by writing this blog entry. Perhaps I should just go to bed…start tomorrow early and maybe get something out of the day. But I can pretty much bet my entire fortune (which isn’t very big Im afraid…) that tomorrow will race by like some secret force have stolen time from you just to mess with your head. “You got a long day yesterday, so today and tomorrow will go by quicker than you can say; hang on a sec!” I already know it. Life is too ironic. But you gotta love it.
