Thinking like a smoker

   Posted by: Phil   in blather

The last month or so, I noticed something: I seem to still think like a smoker.  What do I mean by this?  I mean that I find myself looking at Zippo lighters thinking that they look cool.  I find myself walking down the street thinking that a smoke would be really good right now.  That’s the toughest one: I still crave cigarettes.  Its actually quite annoying.  I’ll crave a smoke, and wonder “why am I wanting this?” and I have to fight the craving.  I keep wondering, when the cravings will finally go away, and I keep hoping that I won’t be fighting cravings indefinitely.

All you ex-smokers who may be reading this: Do you still get cravings?

In other news, gave the dog a much-needed bath yesterday.  Bathing a large dog is an athletic exercise, since most dogs don’t tend to enjoy baths.  Getting the dog into the tub was one battle, keeping him there is another, as he’ll try to get out of the tub every time you take your hands off him.  And so, when it was all over, the bathroom was pretty much soaked, and I was covered in all the excess hair that came off the dog, and neither of us were happy.

Finally, over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be shooting some scenes for a werewolf movie.  Its going to include a new experience for me: special effects make up.

Well, son…
I hate to be the bearer of negative news, but as you may recall, I gave in to the cravings again after more than 30 years of non-smoking.
Now that I’ve quit yet again, I still get tempted to go back (even to the point of thinking seriously about a pipe!).
