shanmonster | Yet Another Day Closer to My Last Day Here

Oh poop. Late last night, as I was falling asleep, I suddenly realized that I don't have Monday off. For whatever misguided reason, I thought I had a four-day weekend because of a scheduling change. But no, I actually have Sunday off, work Monday, and then have Tuesday and Wednesday off. This is not good, because I've scheduled my doctor's appointment for Monday, and I don't see any way of getting rescheduled before I move. So I guess I'll be burning off a sick day, after all. At least I can come in for extra hours on Wednesday, but that's going to make six straight days on the phones. Yuck. Well, I'd better go and sign up for those hours, hmm?

Last night, I watched Zombie Honeymoon. It was not at all what I expected. The movie was a failure, I think, because it attempted too many things. It tried to be funny. It tried to be sad. It tried to be romantic. It failed, and ended up being boring, which no zombie movie ever ought to be. I think I may have drooled on myself.

The acting was decent enough (I found myself drawn into the characters, despite my better judgement), but the pacing was dreadful. For example, the movie wasted time showing extended driving sequences (and no, there are no car chases). The female lead was just driving to the grocery store. I suppose the extended sequence was supposed to demonstrate the passing of time, but what it did was take an already slow-paced movie and ratchet the speed down a few notches. Yawn.

Tonight is Russian action movie night. We rented two clunkers whose names I've already forgotten. Something like Russian Smackdown or Moscow Heat or something like that. One of them stars Dolph Lundgren, and doesn't appear to be listed on IMDB. That's surely a bad sign.

I watch a lot of movies. From looking at this year's record, they appear mostly to be chop sokky, action, and sci-fi. I'm not a very good girl, because I don't think there are any chick flicks to be seen (Zombie Honeymoon is the closest).

Sometimes I think I must be a man in a woman's body.

That reminds me, I'm getting rid of a LOT of clothes. If you're in the area, and you think something might fit, let me know, and we can arrange a scavenging session for you. There's everything from jeans to workout clothes to gowns, and it all has to go. I can't take it with me. The Chinese dress I gave to Linda last night looks fabulous on her.

I'll also be getting rid of a lot of books and junk in the days to come. If I can't keep my treasures, I'd like to see them go to good homes. Oh yeah, and I have a big bag o' womandy that needs to go. Need pads/tampons? I don't (thank you, thank you, thank you, Keeper).
