Scary movies and a nightmare
Okay, in the last 3 days I've seen the first disc of Princess Daisy (bet I don't get past disc 2.... I'm really just watching for Rupert Everett... I absolutely hate that he's gay, but I guess it's a good thing that I didn't know that when I saw him in Merlin and the Sword (dreadful movie, but there is that redeeming quality of a scene involving a naked Everett, water, and some furs after he rescues the kidnapped Guinevere). Okay, at least I can take comfort in the fact that this time, the eye candy I was swooning over is a lot older than me. LOL
So what is it about dark-haired men that makes me weak in the knees? Am I still pining over Christopher Reeve in that Superman costume? Well, I was 7 when that movie came out, I think, so maybe it's some kind of imprint thing. hahaha
I watched The Brothers Grimm from Netflix, and the disc was so horribly scratched that the whole movie jittered visually and auditorially. But Jennifer was right - I did enjoy the movie, especially with the twisted up fairy tales involved. Heath Ledger was pretty funny. :)
I need to stop riiiiight here and wonder what the hell is going on with my spelling. For about the past year, I haven't been able to remember how to spell stuff reliably, and when I type, sometimes homophones of the correct words come out instead. This makes me incredibly unhappy.... what is causing this? Did the Topamax cause permanent brain damage before I stopped taking it??? I'm glad it stopped working to prevent my migraines, because otherwise I might still be taking it.
Saw 1408 at the movies... once again, I'm amazed at what a great actor John Cusack is. He really did a great job, and the movie really scared me at times. I'll bet that's why I had the nightmare I woke up from a little while ago.
I dreamed I was at a teaching conference, and I was walking with two friends and saw I'd left my bag down near the edge of a lake. I went to go get it and the fog rolled in. I couldn't see them and they couldn't see me. Someone with a knife grabbed me and started trying to stab me repeatedly. From the positioning of his hands on the sides of my head (gloved, no less), it was like he was underneath me, and stabbing downward at me. I couldn't really move to get away - seems like he was holding onto me at the same time he was trying to stab me - and I definitely couldn't scream. I was trying, but it was like no sound was coming out. Since I couldn't get away, I made the dubiously genious decision to try to grab the blade of the knife and slow him down, and wound up with a ton of defensive cuts all over my hands. After running into one of the buildings to get away from him, I still couldn't make any real vocal sounds... all I could do was wave my cut up fingers in front of the people who were there, and cry soundlessly. It was creepy..
In that dream, I woke up in my old bedroom back home. I was in some kind of a trundle bed and someone else was sleeping in the big bed (an old high school teacher of mine, no less. LOL Seems I dreamed the attack, but I was still at the conference and this was the hotel room) across the room for me. Then this strange clicking noise started. The handle on a table's drawer was going crazy, flipping up and down without any reason. I thought maybe it was the air current in the room doing it, but when I held it down, the handle fought against me. I think it was a ghost or something. Now that HAD to have been the influence of 1408. I am too damn suggestible. Why couldn't someone suggest that I dream about an incredibly good looking and nice man falling in love with me instead?
Yep, definitely would have to be a dream, because they don't exist with both qualities.
By the way - I swam up out of the dream to hear the clicking sounds coming from my ceiling fan. LOL And I was all wrapped up in my sheets, completely dressed, so that's probably why I felt trapped. 3 am, and I'd left the door to my house open. Good thing I woke up. I had left an open invitation to a burglar.
Also saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3. It was pretty good, and had its funny moments. I'm just not into all the pirate stuff though.
