It's like having permanent duck face.
I saw Shutter Island with my dad, and it messed with my head. Scorcese played on some of people's worst fears, including Nazi tactics being used here at home, children being murdered, dangerously crazy people, the thought that your whole world is nothing but a fabrication, betrayal, etc. They should call it Shudder Island.
Yesterday I had some sort of allergic reaction on my lips, and they got all Angelina Jolie-puffy, plus burny and itchy. NO, I don't have some sort of herpes or something (ew); it's just allergies. Even today my lips are all messed up, and I'm itchy all over my body. This would be easier to handle if I could take some Benadryl or something, but I'm not allowed ANY allergy medication until after my allergy test on Wednesday. Agony!!!
Last night Jennifer came over to watch The Oscars. I made a beautiful tray of a bunch of fancy cheeses, grapes, crackers, veggies, etc., and we noshed on that while drinking Beaujolais, wearing my glam1920s/30s vintage rhinestone jewelry, and guessing who would win. It was actually really nice. I'm pissed that Sandra Bullock won best actress, and that The Hurt Locker won best film, but the rest of the show went pretty well I think.
This morning I found out that my second cousin tried to commit suicide on Friday by letting a train hit her. She survived but has 3 fractures in her vertebrae, a fractured pelvis, and a fractured humerus. She has been crazy from being addicted to painkillers and all kinds of crap for years, plus her dad committed suicide when she was younger (because of painful cancer), so her behavior isn't all that surprising. I really just feel bad for her mother and for her 13-year-old son. She left a note saying to look up at the stars and that she would be there. Needless to say, their whole family is really shook up, and we're feeling the aftershocks here in my family. It's really sad and upsetting and I think people are on the cusp of feeling some real anger about it too.
Today is my CT scan. When I get the results back, I should know whether or not I'll need surgery on my nose/sinuses.
Back to work.
P.S. Nick, I love you and am thinking about you.

Brian and I walked out on Shutter Island. Perhaps I have seen too many movies because I knew when I saw the trailer that it was all happening in his head and he was indeed one of the coockoo patients. Not Scorcese's best work, obviously. The art direction was great though.
shutter island, man i want to see that movie so bad! eric and i love leo as an actor. well he's a hottie too!
i missed the oscars cuz eric wanted to sit at the bar at kiley's house til 11pm, when i wanted to go home. hmh. hurt locker has had a lot of good feedback. i just want jeremy renner! haha, damn i sound like a horn ball in this comment.
that is INSANE to read about your 2nd cousin, holy freaking crap. i would say that i am glad she is ok, but damn, she stepped in front of a train. wtf. but i am sorry to hear that. i would just...overdose on heroin or shoot myself. i mean, if i were to arrange a suicide of my own.
@JadedPoser - I don't usually watch that kind of movie (and very few Scorcese films) so I didn't see it coming. Apparently I'm one of the few who was fooled though. Agreed about the art direction. And I think DiCaprio is getting pretty good as an actor.
@sheshe143 - Tell Eric he's an ass for making you miss the Oscars for some bullshit reason.
I am so pissed and embarrassed we didn't make it to oscar night
Four hours of my night completely sucked as I wrote and rewrote and reformatted the pflag program though, if that helps.
Also trains. That is really saddening.
