I was stuck to my futon last night watching Dogfight and couldn't get myself up. I didn't want to get myself up and I would be late to work. But then I asked myself...
Do I really care?
And just shrugged to myself and slumped lower into my movie. Naw.

So I called in sick.


I'd never really done that before but then again I'd never really asked myself the question "Did I care?" It was kind of breath-taking to stay slumped in this futon, watching the movie and clock tick by. I almost regained conciousness and tried to desperately call back in, telling them I would definitely be in.

But of course I didn't.

I stayed where I was and fed myself stale Froot Loops and dreamt of River Phoenix calling in sick.
