Very reminiscent of Titanic. Thought of it many many times while watching. I also was not expecting it to be as emotional as I found it. I only rate it 3 out of 5 though, as the story was good, but the visual effects (especially considering the budget) were on the verge of cheesy, some scenes moreso than others.<br /><br />This could be a weird visual association thing I have, but John Cussack really reminds me of Bill Murray. I spent the entire film thinking he had to be related. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nineveh_rains:873730 2010-03-15T23:37:29Z 2010-03-15T23:37:29Z FML.<br /><br />*sigh* urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nineveh_rains:873609 2010-03-15T19:39:00Z 2010-03-15T19:39:00Z Other than my ankle aching, today has been pretty good. I did have to pull myself out of bed, but succeeded. <br />Had a great cab driver, so I didn't have to wait after my appointment.<br />Was starting to disassocite before therapy but the session went well.<br /><br />Even the dream I had about my ex (that she gave birth to a daughter) didn't really bother me. She was upset that her fiance wasn't there, and I kept explaining that it was still his baby even if I was there when she was born... It was something she needed to be reassured of in the dream.<br /><br />Feeling super tired (brain/eyes) but also hungry. And I wish my ankle would stop hurting. One day down, five more to go until the big adventure.<br /><br />Today is also "fred" & mine's 9th monthaversary. Wondering if he'll remember lol. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nineveh_rains:873347 2010-03-13T03:27:00Z 2010-03-13T03:27:00Z Since I was a pre-teen and first learned about eating disorders, that's what E.D. stood for. Now, over the past few years, "erectile dysfunction" is taking claim to that acronym. Why? Get your own fucking label. Is the word "impotence" too embarassing? <br /><br />Argh, just in a really ranty mood right now. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nineveh_rains:873048 2010-03-13T02:57:31Z 2010-03-13T02:57:31Z Haven't updated much lately as my mood is still out of whack.<br /><br />Still working away on my iTunes library. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nineveh_rains:872913 2010-03-07T23:38:21Z 2010-03-07T23:39:15Z All they have in-store is the popular stuff (ie. Twilight, HarryPotter, etc. - stuff that you can buy at WALMART!) What is the point of having a HUGE bookstore if you only carry %20 of your "stock"? Like, <i>everything</i> I was looking for was "not available in store". If I wanted to shop online, I wouldn't have bothered coming to the store in the first place... And it's not obscure or old editions either that I was looking for. *sigh*<br /><br />The book store has really let me down. I didn't really need to buy any books anyway, since I (still!) have so many I haven't read yet, but it would be nice to be able to find stuff you're looking for. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nineveh_rains:872586 2010-03-07T02:35:12Z 2010-03-07T02:35:12Z Breaking Benjamin Every street in this city<br />Is the same to me<br />Everyone's got a place to be<br />But there's no room for me<br />Am I to blame?<br />When the guilt and the shame hang over me<br />Like a dark cloud,<br />That chases you down in the pouring rain.<br /><br />It's so hard to find someone<br />Who cares about you,<br />But it's easy enough to find someone<br />Who looks down on you<br /><br />Why is it so hard to find someone<br />Who cares about you?<br />When it's easy enough to find someone<br />Who looks down on you<br /><br />It's not what it seems<br />When you're not on the scene<br />There's a chill in the air<br />But there's people like me<br />That nobody sees so nobody cares<br /><br /><b>Why is it so hard to find someone<br />Who cares about you?<br />When it's easy enough to find someone<br />Who looks down on you<br />Why is it so hard to find someone<br />Who can keep it together<br />When you've come undone?<br />Why is it so hard to find someone<br />Who cares about you?</b><br /><br />I swear this time it won't turn out<br />The same 'cause now I've got myself to blame<br />And you'll know where we'll end up<br />On the streets that is easy enough<br />To find someone who looks down on you<br /><br />Why is it so hard to find someone<br />Who cares about you?<br />When it's easy enough to find someone<br />Who looks down on you<br />Why is it so hard to find someone<br />Who can keep it together<br />When you've come undone?<br />Why is it so hard to find someone<br />Who cares about you? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nineveh_rains:872222 2010-03-07T01:21:21Z 2010-03-07T01:21:21Z $5 off any <b>online</b> purchase of $35 or more.

On the upswing, but still other thoughts keep coming into my head. Like, how Dang was always able to distract me from this darkness. And how much I miss my mom. How much I miss the hospital/being drugged. I will never be part of society, not in the way you were describing.<br />Right now I miss my room in Dundas. I miss staying up til 5am playing solitaire, chatting on ICQ, and listening to "Coast to Coast". urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nineveh_rains:871191 2010-03-03T06:40:35Z 2010-03-03T06:40:35Z Numb - Holly McNarland The minister at the funeral home told me I would "set the world on fire".<br /><br />What do you suppose he meant by that?

Spent Valentine's Day with Mike. We went out the night before - played arcade games, he won me an mp3 player - and we saw Wolfman. Mike ended up getting sick and of course I got it 2 days later. What a lovely gift!<br />Spent the next week in bed dealing with the cold. My grandmother passed away on the 22 early AM and I've spent the majority of the past week dealing with that.<br />My computer fucked up, so I've been reinstalling everything. I have housing issues that I have to deal with tomorrow. My friends have been great. Saw Shutter Island yesterday with Jamie.<br />Still very tired.<br /><br />Just doing this to finish it off and kill time while waiting for software to download. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nineveh_rains:869539 2010-02-23T04:03:50Z 2010-02-23T04:03:50Z Visitation & Funeral at the same place:<br />M.A. Clark & Sons Funeral Home Ltd.<br />567 Upper Wellington Street<br />Hamilton, ON<br />(905) 383-3323<br /><br />Visitation: Wednesday, February 24 : 2-4pm & 7-9pm<br />Service: Thursday, February 25 : 11am<br /><br />Obit will be in Hamilton Spectator tomorrow and Wednesday.

He was already coming down with something, so no Valentine's sex. I think we watched a lot of Dexter that day. I think we also watched Wolverine.<br /><br />Monday:<br />He really wasn't feeling well by now and wanted me to go out and buy OJ, but I didn't feel like going out by myself. He ordered in food and I made him watch What Dreams May Come.<br /><br />Tuesday:<br />Mike went to work. I cleaned up the apartment a bit and played Overclocked. Ate supper then headed home.<br /><br />Wednesday:<br />No choir practice this week, so I went out with jamie to see Avatar and we brought bubbletea back to my place where we rebuilt my lamp and blew the outlet on the stove. Started feeling the symptoms of a cold.<br /><br />Thursday:<br />Felt like garbage all day. Mostly lay in bed, listened to audio books/lectures, and played pokemon on my GBA.<br /><br />Friday:<br />My house is a mess cuz I've had no energy to do anyting. I want to take a bath but would like even more to have clean bedsheets, so we'll see how that turns out. <br />Have been in bed all day feeling like crap. Have the olympics on tv. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nineveh_rains:868228 2010-02-19T05:21:48Z 2010-02-19T05:21:48Z Omg, I feel like such death.

Then we needed to combat all that nature-y goodness with some technological building, so we re-built my lamp. In the process, the outlet on my stove no longer works. Exciting times.<br /><br />I'll most likely spend the rest of the week in bed. I passed out for 2 hours today without even realising it.<br /><br />Off to catch up on my flist since I haven't been online til now. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:nineveh_rains:867408 2010-02-17T05:15:29Z 2010-02-17T05:15:29Z Grey Street - Dave Matthews So tired, but I have rekindled my love.<br /><br />Everything was sweet without being sappy.
