Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The shot I had on my left wrist in December is wearing off, so I'm gonna have to find a carpal tunnel person here. Finding specialists has been...a challenge.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Easy recovery!

Welp after 4 days off and a pretty lazy weekend, I’ve done 2.5 hours of work and I really feel that should be enough.

I got into a good movie watching/knitting groove yesterday and this work thing is derailing it.

Movies watched yesterday:
Dr. Zhivago
The Thomas Crown Affair
In the Heights

Mmmm... hash browns.

Helped DH refine the resume this morning and now swimming. Then work from the library, I'm still thinking.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

So the movies thread is pretty dead, but anyone want to hop over there and talk Sinners with me?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I still need to get myself to a theater for Sinners. Maybe tomorrow.

My friend just suggested we go see it, but we can't until the weekend after this.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I just want to know if it's going to be too gory for me. Everything else about it looks VERY much up my alley, but am I going to be too squeamish to enjoy any of it?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Somebody told me it was Lost Boys level of scary and gory. But I can’t personally attest to that. PMM?

Hmm. I'm trying to remember how gory Lost Boys is. (Which, considering I've seen Lost Boys somewhat recently, I should recall, yet don't.)

I mean, there's certainly gore in Sinners, as well as some jump scares, but I'm not sure I'm the best judge of what counts as gory, as I would say it's not gratuitously gory? IDK.

It’s hard for me to see lost boys as particularly scary or gory at all because it’s one of those comforting movies that I can throw on anytime. But I think when it came out it was pretty intense.
