Huzzah for Indie films! Holy Shit Awesomeness, that's what this was. Yet again my uncanny Netflix luck directed me to something I needed to see.
Forgive the first 15" --I almost didn't make it, myself. However, I simply told myself that the opening lines of any film being "Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!" had to be worth a few more minutes of my time. And it was.
I loved the soundtrack (I bought it via Amazon.com) & the lighting.

I think I might need this film in my collection!
Watch the trailer:







Still don't have my home anywhere near "Mom Ready," but I'm declaring a Raineth Emergency of "Fuck It."

Cheers & All

I roasted another turkey. I reign triumphant. Well, as long as no critters have jumped it, whilst it has been cooling outside!

I have been hella crabby, the past week. No, it's not anywhere near that particular time of the month... it's all just bass ackwards, and I am exhausted. Stupid life, figure yourself out!

Saw "New Moon" and liked it, despite the Limburger Factor.

Dreams with my brother, so often. He never says anything, and it upsets me.

Going to rescue the turkey & go to bed.

 Oh crap, Jennifgrr-- your birthday is on Friday! I just remembered. Ooof. Short-term memory span. I will send you something. I hope!

 However, I am glad to remember much of anything, some days. Stress has eaten my braaaiiin. Except for today; today was the last day of my lovely vacation (I was forced to go home on Wednesday, had a fabulous time with Superior Ronda on Thursday, yesterday mum came down to visit (we watched a ton of movies, including the long-drawn but well-done "Australia," with Hugh Jackman) and today I cooked. I cooked allllll day, and it was bloody magnificent! Chili, bread, squash, delidious pulled pork...

 I also shoved my face into an Epic Fail cake. Mum and I were both envisioning something else & it didn't quite make the mark. I simply had no choice. It was my punishment for making such heinoustrocity! OK, not really I was laughing so hard before & aft that I nearly inhaled some through my nose!
  Argh. I mean, I followed the recipe & everything, but it just wasn't... it wasn't chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, nor was it peanut butter fudge. Which was what both of us were actually hungry for. Go figure.

 And now...
 I shall wish you a happy NoRemember, Folks.

 My work day returneth. And don't forget to set your stupid clocks back.

 Movie I must see when it comes out: Solomon Kane. Must see it. If it's half as good as the trailer, it will become part of my permanent collection, someday.

 Star Trek is playing. My eyes get all orange & whirly.

 Star Trek is playing  at Lake Elmo's drive-in theatre, the Vali-Hi.   My eyes get even more orange & whirly.

 It's been so long since I've been to a drive-in. What am I doing on my UnBirthday, again??

 I could make my own tasty popcorn at home, bring my own little treats... and the front seat of my car really is quite comfortable.

 I think my orange whirlies are prepared for take-off.

Time for work...

 

 YES!

 I forgot that Transformers 2 was coming out so soon... If I'm up to snuff, I'll be seeing it tonight, thank you very much.

 The weather continues to suck and make me want to just lie down and a pool of cool water. I just scratch my head with conspiracy theories. I am doing worse than last year, as far as humidity is concerned. Ugh, awful.

 OK, time for work.

 Cheers & All

 Wasn't feeling very good this morning... took a nap & felt worse when I woke up...

 Went to work, where the A/C had crumbled like feta cheese, under the pressure.

 Drank A LOT of water, some with sugar & salt, and I felt better. WTF?! I have never, ever had this many issues with dehydration. I am fricking annoyed.
 To add insult to injury, people keep on telling me it sounds like I have diabetes or a thyroid issue-- but I don't have anything to do with either one, according to the gazillion tests that have been run.

 So, I guess I'm gonna lay off the coffee a little, and make minty or herbal teas & chilling them in the fridge for when it's hot. Plain water with lemon works, but it's not a whole "process," like making tea is. Is it? Maybe it is.

 Maybe the heat has eaten my brain. Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable to resume watching "Garden State" for the first time.

 Cheers & All

  I was going to go to bed, when a last-minute search blunder on YouBoob yielded me the following cartoon short, "A Gentlemen's Duel"... omg, HOWL! Oh, the tears... Thank you, Blur Studios & Chocorello.

 Now I really do need to go to bed... My boss called, to request that I come in early tomorrow morning. Oy.  I have to be functioning somewhere around 5:15, to get ready for work. Ick @#! Hannah & her snapped garter, I better get to go home early. Pffft.

 Cheers & All

 So I've officially been Terminated, and I am a happy citizen.

 THAT is something I will need to own, one day.  It had good parts, not-as-good parts, the theatre crowd was rather lame (& sparse at that -- too bad, I thought), but I enjoyed myself quite a bit.  
 There were lots of references to the first & second Terminator movies, but not many to the third (thank goodness, because that one totally, totally sucked!).

 I liked Christian Bale as an actor before-- now I like him a little more. OK, a lot more  heh

And now...  I just realized I have to do laundry, as I open tomorrow.  Damn, there goes the neighborhood.
Or whatever it was I wanted to type.

 But not before I make tomorrow's lunch... chicken w/ a lovely tequila/lime/honey/aleppo pepper marinade. Mmm. Normally, I'd chuck in some garlic (I'm trying to spare the lives of my co-workers) & cilantro (but I don't have any, much to my dismay), but not today.

 The cook must now fight the dog for space in the kitchen...

Cheers & All

  Hmmmf.

 So much for taking a nap before midnite, so that I could attend the 12:01 premiere of "Terminator: Salvation." I slept through until 6:33am (and I slept through a light rain, it seems). Bummer! Oh well, it's probably for the best, since I have to work this morning. I'll go to see it after work tonight, if I'm feeling up to snuff.

  At the moment, I have a rather vicious headache, and yet again I'm feeling like I did before the second time I went to hospital. Damn. What now? Ugh. Honestly, I wasn't feeling well yesterday, either, but I conveniently ignored it the best I could. I took a load of Benedryl, so I thought maybe it was just me being tired. Hmmm. Since I refuse to go to clinic again, I might as well shoosh. No thing complaining if I won't see a quack, right? Right.

 And on that note, I'm going to have some pasta-- and try to get this crick out of my neck. I don't remember dreaming anything, but I woke up on the opposite end of my bed, all sprawled out. Hmf, a bit bizarre.

 *cue dramatic music*  Well, if I up & croak-- it's been good.

Cheers & All

P.S. Why was one of the first things I saw this morning an article on the unfortunate death of the actress Lucy Gordon? I don't remember seeing her in anything, but that doesn't matter... Ohhh, Lucy...

 I have a brainpan full of thoughts, and the gerbils are a wee bit tired of spinning the wheel.

 I think I will hunt down the soundtrack to "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer," download it & try to fall asleep to it, at one point. I really want to watch the movie again, too. 

 Full of thoughts, full of thoughts.

 Inevitably,  full of Schenectedy.

 Cheers & All
 
 

 Resistance is futile!

 OK. I'm giving in. I'm going to go to bed (or at least try to), so that after tomorrow's shift, I can be awake enough to go see the new "Star Trek" movie. I am a hurting unit... not a whole lot of rest, over the past couple of days. So I'm going to remedy that.

 Has anyone seen it/plan on seeing the movie?? 

 Cheers & All
