So this morning I decide to tell Moms I got accepted into one of my mfa programs but like clockwork, begins the "finally something" response. And then I felt the need to burst her bubble by saying "it doesn't mean I will have a job cause of it." (Especially for Fiction)

Then a back and forth again about how I haven't been doing anything with my life.
And why I should work for a company so I can marry and support myself. Like my aunt at tiaa Cref which is pushing her out anyway after 30 years.

It ruined my mood and I suspected I would get this reaction instead of congrats cause it was hell getting these applications out in the first time
*sigh*

But I did get to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind by new favorites Michel Gondry. This is his second film but I heard his first wasn't that good. Both were written by the amazing yet sometimes-inaccessible Charlie Kaufman. And I liked this film for the fact that it treated love and relationships realistically and kind of poised the question to me at least -- would I go through getting to know someone even if I knew (for certain) we would fall apart and hate one another some time in the future.

The film was about more than that just so u know. And weirdly enough this is Kaufman?s most accessible film to date.
