Holy Mole Eee!

[shanmonster]

I've been booking hotel rooms in my dreams again. It's very irritating. I'd rather save my somnolent excursions for more interesting things.

I've noted a difference between my abdominal movements and Rachel Brice's. When she does an omi, her abdoment creases below the navel. When I do the same movement, I crease just above the navel. How does she do that? I've been trying to isolate my movement to that part of my gut, and it just doesn't happen. All the other isolation work makes sense to me. This is the only contraction which escapes me.

Someone remind me to schedule another doctor's appointment. A large, mysterious mole has recently erupted on my back, and f00 thinks it looks suspicious. How come these things always happen on holidays or during doctor strikes?

I watched The Grudge the other day. This movie could never be a classic. It's just too stupid. The horror relies on annoying noises, walls sprouting hair plugs, and the sudden appearances of what look like Gelflings from The Dark Crystal. Add a cringing and prematurely-aged Buffy to the mix, and you have an irritating mess. Blech.

Oddly enough, when we finished the movie and shifted in our seats, the couch made the same annoying sound featured in the movie.

I'm not dead, yet, and I still haven't seen any malevolent Gelflings. However, I do find lots of long black hairs in my carpet. Then again, I shed like a collie dog in the springtime.

And now for a few links before I get my day started for real.

I thought the Grudge was ok, but the moments were unintentionally ruined by the unintentionally hilarious naked meowing catboy. SMG should have just layed out some newspaper with catnip on it and the boy would have been too distracted to go after her. Problem solved

The original Japanese version (Ju-on: The Grudge) was better than the American remake, although they re-used most of the locations and characters in the American one...

The convoluted explanation as to why it's still set in Japan is annoying, too; although I will say that the remake is much more easy to follow.

Still, seeing SMG there just didn't have the right feel for it, and they cut out the side-stories and made it just about one character. It's unfortunate that you saw the American one first, because it ruins the original, IMHO. It would be much the same as seeing a parody before the real thing, which takes away the impact.

Don't ignore moles that just appear out of nowhere. Maybe I'm being a bit alarmist, but I think that f00 has the right idea. (Of course, I've got Irish-English fair skin and red hair; the fact that I've got a smidgen of Cherokee from my father's side means that I do tan, but I still need to be careful. Take my paranoia with a grain of salt, and consider the source.)

I understand the "taking calls in your sleep" phenomenon, too. I used to work in the benefits office of the local baby Bell. I still remember the Attack of the Retirees. I had dreams that I was on vacation, several states away, and they still managed to find the phone number for my hotel and call me. I was taking messages in my sleep, explaining that I wasn't at the office; I was in Phoenix. I couldn't look up their pension and life insurance information because I was in a hotel, and nowhere near my computer. No, I couldn't connect to the database; I didn't have a computer handy. All I could do was take their names and numbers so that I could have someone return their call when I got back to Denver.

It was really, really disturbing.

I remember handling calls in my dreams as an Internet tech. I think for most everyone it's a phase. Hopefully it will stop happening in a week. :D

I can also imagine Shan, that you're still looking for something else. This is just a place to earn rent money until you find something less stressful, right?

I had a mole removed a few years ago because I was constantly scratching it by accident. The doc told me that a mole is only something to worry about if it's raised, red and hairless . Still, it's only going to take some time to know for sure. :)

I remember when you and Rob were supposed to witch dreams, when you were dreaming about being a grocery clerk... and wound up dreaming about scanning groceries *and* taking calls... And he dreamt of nothing! Hee! Rob's a jerk ;D

Dunno about the difference between your creases and Rachels, but I don't think I'd worry much. It sounds like this movement deals with the abdominal muscles, and everybody's built different there. I've maintained a 6-pack since age 10 or so--actually I can't really remember a time when I didn't have one--so I've been paying attention to other peoples' for a while now and never found two identical sets. She could have a different number of abs (8 versus 6, etc), different lengths of abs (she does seem to have an exceptionally long torso) or it could just be that her navel is in a different place than yours relative to your abdominal muscles.

I guess it could be a different in contraction, though. I'm no expert on this isolation stuff you talk about, but I've been fooling with my own abs long enough to know that I can flex them in different ways, both top-to-bottom and side-to-side and fairly independently. Of course I have no idea what this "oni" thing is, hehe. ^_^

If it still bothers you, just pretend that Rachel was in a horrible accident years ago and will always have a crease there as a result. X^P
