Update
Been angsty, stress from many sources this month. Know this is because I'm hormonal but this does not quell the angst. This week I have cried (pointlessly) in bed, at work, in the car, and in front of the TV screen. Have been pissed off at friends, family, work, church, self, volunteer job, God, science, the Walt Disney company, and society. No-one is safe! I am moody, hear me roar!
In other news: Media That I Have Recently Consumed
Cleaned the turtle tank, did the dishes, watered plants, finally cleaned an enormous moldy thing out of the fridge: it was disgusting, you have no idea. I swear I will die of a fridge infection. Took out trash. Still have important things to do but will put them off until the last minute, or even possibly beyond. 28k. Ordered some cheap, lame DVDs from BestBuy; hope they get here soon. Do not know what I want to eat for lunch...and time is running out. *bites knuckles*
In other news: Media That I Have Recently Consumed
- Day of the Triffids (book): Loved it, despite the abrupt ending. Thanks for the recc! Many parallels to 28 Days Later, which I found interesting because the book was not mentioned in the DVD commentary. Discussion questions at the end annoyed me (see above).
Willard (movie): Loved this too, although I have an admitted bias toward rats. Darkly funny. Not so popular with viewers or critics; suspect it had to do with bias toward the original and expectations of actual horror.
Wizard People Dear Reader (performance art?): Why can I not make it through a viewing of this? Listened to/watched the first half while doing the dishes and then switched to music.
Blade (movie): Incredible coolness meet extreme lameness; apparently the volatile mix results in explosions and blood. A really good time, assuming you're not expecting much more than a little pulse-pounding action and some comic-book logic. Worth a buck-ninety-nine rental.
A Beautiful Mind (movie): Watched it in spurts with my ridiculously staticy TV reception, so I can't give too much of a review, but I liked what I saw. This marks the first time my TV has been on since...probably since LOST ended.
