moving closer to divorcement

As I have mentioned in a much earlier posting a friend of mine in currently going through a Divorce. I am planning on holding a divorcement party and I guess I could use a little help.

Back story
My friend was married to this woman for about six years. About three years into the marriage she became extremely depressed and decided that she could no longer work but she wanted to maintain the lifestyle that she was accustomed to and continued to spend.
This made my friend have to work a lot, but he loved her so he didn’t have a problem with it. Due to his work, he was often out of town. Occasionally he’d come home after weeks to find a bunch of truly random things she had done. For example she would have bought 12 lamps, or forgotten to deposit money in the bank so the mortgage check would bounce or that she hadn’t done anything at all for the weeks he’d been gone. She would be in the same clothes, had not showered and that dirty dishes were heaped on all of the countertops

We all agree that this was sad and that depression is a crippling disease but things had gotten worse for him when checks began to bounce because he trusted her with the money and she was doing other truly horrible things.

Because she was not working and needed money she began to sell a lot of his collections on ebay or half.com. She sold his $150 architecture books and his awesome movie collection (oftentimes movies I had bought him for birthday or Christmas presents. Or gifts he had not given me yet.)

She kept all of this money for herself to buy books, lamps, clothes etc. None of this money went to the outstanding bills.

I figure that there were about 200 movies in all. I can think of about 50 movies that he had.

Readers, I need your help. I would like to have some movie suggestions since I do not know a lot about anime and I have run out of ideas. His movie tastes are as follows.

Rushmore-Wes Anderson
Jump Tomorrow- Joel Hopkins
Audition-Takashi Miike
Amelie-Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Character-Mike Van Diem
Gallipoli-Peter Weir
Miller’s Crossing- the Cohen Brothers

such a perfect day

Today is one of those perfect days at work. I am the only one here this morning so I am taking the time to be lazy. Kind of sounds uptight doesn't it.

I am wondering if anyone is still listening to my radio station. I am having a bit of trouble with it lately and it is recommending songs and groups I really do not like, for example the spin doctors. I am beginng to think that my radio station does not know me at all. If anyone is tuning in, let me know how you like it or what you dislike about it. Also, if you have any suggestions of bands or songs please email me or comment here.

my station is: lemonlifemail

I don't know what to title this post

Well, my blog postings have been a bit heavy lately. I guess I am a victim of the Minnesota weather. I bet you are missing my commentary on pop culure.

Vauganiston? are you serious? I want LeeLee Sobieski and Jake Gyllenhaal to start a realtionship becasue I would love to see how they mix up that one.

Lady Lumps? BEP just when I think your lyrics are horrideous, you find a way to go even lower. kudos!

Or the songs that are stuck in my head.

"Rocky Raccoon" by The Beatles.

I promise to get back to normal real soon.
