When I was 13 the only things that I can remember being particularly fond of were baseball and the Lonely Island - watching the Royal Tenenbaums on TV one night was (at risk of seeming trite) 'life changing' for even just the fact that my adolescent baseball career was on the decline and I needed something new to invest my time in. The montage of Gene Hackman playing with his Adidas tracksuited grandsons set to 'Me & Julio Down By the Schoolyard' indoctrinated me into a life of whimsy, for better or worse.

This is a Rec on how to stay sane, not how to get out, unfortunately.
I have been (mostly) unemployed for like almost a year aside from short stints or gigs. itβs been awful awful awful BUT AMC A List became my light at the end of the tunnel, truly.
$25 a month for 3 βfreeβ movies every week. I use it as a treat after trudging through applications or to have something to look forward to. And, yes, you can watch as many free movies as you want on your laptop in your room but having a place to go or a plan at the end of a grueling day is great.

Tickets are $10 cash, $5 beers and $3 sodas, plus a myriad of pierogi joints nearby for you to grab a bite at beforehand.

Leaves you feeling a bit sillier about your laments.

"One of the most common and saddest spectacles is that of a person of really fine sensibility and acute psychological perception trying to write fiction by these qualities alone. This type of writer will put down one intensely emotional or keenly perceptive sentence after the other, and the result will be complete dullness. The facts is that the materials of the fiction writer are the humblest. Fiction is about everything human and we are made out of dust, and if you scorn getting yourself dusty, then you shouldn't try to write fiction. It's not a grand enough job for you."
