Worries And Horrors, Unwanted And Desired
► Feel like a mess tonight. Was up all last night despite being exhausted. Last night while talking to Dad on the phone he asked me to go with him to my grandmother's this morning and help him clean the outside windows. I agreed, but was so nervous through the night I didn't get to bed until around 5:30am, and then didn't fall asleep until around 6:30am. Dad called me at 7:30am and I was so groggy, slurring words on the phone, that he told me not to worry about going.
I ended up staying up until 10:00am when I finally collapsed asleep again. A deep, dark, blurry sleep that wasn't remotely restful. Just black unconsciousness. Since I finally woke up after 5:00 this afternoon my nerves have been unsettled, and I have shakes and a headache. Just feeling overwhelmed with worry and guilt at the moment.
Dean told me there may or may not be a strike on the horizon at her plant. That, coupled with some other things I don't feel right about mentioning here, has me on edge right now. Just feel very scared at the moment with a hollow feeling in my chest and stomach.
► Because I managed to save $90 last month, and got money for my birthday, I'm a couple hundred dollars ahead this month. Yesterday I was perusing Amazon.ca (the Canadian branch) and found 2 big hardbound coffee table books I want, both on sale at 37% off. The books were both released in September. My phone conversation with Dad last night was about my using his credit card to order the books. He agreed, but said I'd have to wait until this morning, and he'd stop by on his way to my grandmother's (which lead to the suggestion that I go with him).
While I ultimately didn't go to my grandmother's, I was able to place the order. I'll be giving Dad a check for $55.57 Canadian when I next see him. The books I ordered are:► Universal Studios Monsters: A Legacy of Horror - A celebration of Universal Studios' classic monsters from the silent era to the 50s. Frankenstein! Dracula! The Wolf Man! The Phantom!
► Hammer Glamour - A celebration of Hammer Films' bossomy starlets and scream queens from the 50s to the 70s. In full colour picture glory! Madeline Smith! Ingrid Pitt! Martine Beswick! Caroline Munro! Raquel Welch!
Man, I can hardly wait to get these in the mail!
► Olivia Munn & Kevin Pereira - Twilight Spoof - This is how Twilight should end. Seriously, I'm tired of being overfeed on the romance novel/Anne Rice romantic vampires that have dominated the last couple of decades. They're monsters! There was no romance with Dracula in Stoker's original novel! He was a cruel monster preying on innocent people! Hasn't anyone seen Nosferatu?
► Tarantino Teases 'Kill Bill 3' - Old news is old news. Wake me in 5-6 years when he finally works on it.
► 'Transformers 3' Rolling Out With Megan Fox For A July 1, 2011 Release - I had considered picking up Transformers 2 on DVD when it's released since I did so with the first one. But I've heard so much bad word of mouth about the movie, I'm wondering if I should just avoid it completely. Thoughts?
