We went to see Poor Things tonight, and wow, is that a batshit-crazy movie. (But we still liked it. We liked it kind of a lot, in fact.) It doesn't really seem to have gotten a lot of publicity unless you're somebody who looks at the award nominations. I do usually look at those, but I'm not sure if that's where I got the idea that it was something we might want to see. Actually I think I saw somewhere that it was a sort of a Lady-Frankenstein plot (with Emma Stone in that role) - which I knew would appeal to Rob - and also Willem Dafoe is in it and he's always fun. One thing you should know if you're going to see it is that it's definitely an R-rated movie - not one to take the kids to. It's a HARD R. There's nudity and a hella lot of simulated sex, and it's pretty violent off and on as well. (Genre-wise, Rob and I agreed that we'd call it sort of a horror-comedy, although it's hard to pin down. It's not at all scary.)

So, I have to work the next two days, which I'm not super-happy about, but it's a short shift (like, 5 hours) so I can't complain too much. And we have to go car shopping at some point - I'm getting a new (used) car, finally! I don't know that I've mentioned this but Rob and I have been ride-sharing for several months, because my poor Toyota has 178,000 miles on it and I finally got where I was afraid to drive it around by myself at night - and since we work the evening shift that's kind of a deal-breaker. The ride-sharing worked well enough that we haven't had serious problems with it, but sooner or later there's going to be a point when we must be at different places at the same time, so car-shopping it is. We went to the credit union Tuesday and got a pre-approval so we're all set, we just have to decide on a car.

I can’t sleep. I got up and took a benadryl and I’m hoping it kicks in soon. I’ve felt fairly crappy all day today and I really don’t want to miss work tomorrow. Especially since I am going to be gone Tuesday in any case, in order to have the damn needle biopsy that I put off last week because I was so sick. I have now been sick for just about two weeks, and I am awfully fucking tired of it.

Until today, I had actually been feeling better. The last couple of days I had still coughing some, but not quite as much, and I felt quite a lot better. Well, I don’t care - if I still feel this bad tomorrow, I’m staying home. They can manage without me for a couple of days, and I can stay home and lounge around in bed and read Harry Potter and take naps, and hope that  that makes me feel better, because I’ve had it with being sick.


Did y’all see the piece on Netflix on 60 Minutes? It made me want to watch all the Netflix DVDs that are lying around my house so I can get new ones. I had already watched one on Friday - the first four episodes of the Christopher Eccleson season of Doctor Who. Then tonight I watched another one - the last disk of the BBC Bleak House from last year. (I really do need to read that book.)


Yesterday we finally got the license plates for the new car, and since the check for the down payment also finally came through the bank this week, I finally feel like we actually own the car. I mean, really, if somebody wrote you a check for over $2000, would it take you three weeks to cash it? I was beginning to think they lost it.
