Shine On, Boy, Shine On....
And in other news!
Had a kind of quiet Sunday yesterday. We watched the mini-series version of the Shining, which took pretty much all evening and well into the night. And finished it up just in time to catch Into The Wild Green Yonder - which I assume will be the last 'movie' before the new episodes run.
I really do adore this version of The Shining. Not just because it was scripted by King himself, but the casting was so well done. Steven Weber and Rebecca De Mornay are just awesome actors, and they played so well off of each other. And Weber really portrayed Jack Torrence's struggle beautifully.
Speaking of Stephen King...I've discovered that I do have to get each individual comic issue of The Dark Tower. Why? Because the written stories and legends from the back of each issue aren't included in the trades. I almost ended up buying totally out of order, just to get the giant essay on The Role of Women in In-World in the back of one of the Treachery issues. But I was good and picked up the first issue of The Long Road Home. Is it just me, or do the artists take any excuse they can get to show Roland shirtless?
I also got my hands on kava tea, finally. Oh man, that stuff is amazing. I slept so well last night, and my muscles remained relaxed and loose even into this morning. It does taste rather blegh, and the numbing effects on the throat and mouth are odd, but it's definitely beneficial as a natural muscle relaxant and sleep aide.
We has thunderstorms today! So hopefully we'll have them while we watch The Unborn. Yeah, we rented it. Hey, the graphics and effects look shiny and it's got Gary Oldman in it. At the very least, it'll have some inspirational visuals. Though we could only get the un-rated version. I don't know if this means more boobies or more blood. Or possibly both! We shall see.
