Raining out. I am sound asleep in the cab of the truck. Don't ask how, it's uncomfortable as fuck. Kenny wakes me up to play Rummy. I hate cards. Now I am awake. I grew up playing Rummy Cube, so I agree to play cards and make a move he's never seen before. He tells me I am cheating. Really? I check the web and with another guy on the job. I wasn't cheating. Now he's pissed off for being wrong. Can I go back to sleep now?

500 Days of Summer
"You're a film guy." Mike
"Sure." Me
"You like Jeepers Creepers?"
"Didn't see it."
"You didn't see it? What about Hesher?"
"Nope. You know what you are?" Me
"What?" Mike
"This is gonna hurt."
"Okay."
"The product of popularity."
"What about 500 Days Of Summer?"
"A girl used that movie to break up with me." Me
"No way! I gotta here this story." Mike
"Not much of a story. She told me about how she played that movie for her ex-boyfriend as a way of telling him the relationship was over. So when she suggested we watch it together, I had a pretty good idea the end was near."
"I can't believe it."
"I'm used to it actually. Women in the past have used Alley McBeal, Friends and other tv shows to control the path of their love life. 500 Days of Summer is no exception."
"What a fucking cunt."
"No man, she's great."
"You still like her?"
"I do. I would drive five hours through two states to see her as much as I could. Cook her breakfast, make her dinner. Venture together throughout her entire city. We made a lot of great memories."
"What was the problem?"
"After a while, the smile staring back at me faded. I could see what was behind her eyes. I knew I could give her all the flowers she ever wanted, tell her that I liked her or loved her until I ran out of breath. None of it mattered." Me
"Why not?" Mike
"She didn't like herself."
"Sure." Me
"You like Jeepers Creepers?"
"Didn't see it."
"You didn't see it? What about Hesher?"
