I really do need to start getting up before 2p, this is getting quite tiresome. On the other hand, it would probably make it easier to get up before 2p if I would go to bed before 5a, but that's just being pedantic.

The problem is that in watching DVDs, you lose track of the time even more than in watching TiVo, because at least in TiVo there is a clock in the display screen. No, I cannot turn my head to look at the microwave, that is far too much to ask of someone staring and drooling at the TV screen, thank you very much!

So yeah, gotta go to bed earlier and get up earlier and start living a little bit more of a normal life. Or at least watch Price is Right in real time as opposed to far into the afternoon.

So yesterday I watched one of the greatest genre films ever made, one that I haven't seen in years, Re-Animator!!

How great is that music? And how many other times have I heard it, it must be some of the most re-used music ever. Honestly, though, two commentary tracks? Why are you making me watch it three times, it has to go back to the library tomorrow. At least it's only 86 minutes long.

Love that second commentary, with the actors. Most of the actors seemed not to have seen it for ages, they are surprised and remembering--on the other hand, Jeffrey Combs is reciting along with his lines. Either he has a phenomenal memory, or he watches it all the time, alone in his house, like Norma Desmond.

One time I had an audition for Stuart Gordon, and the lovely and talented Jeffrey Combs was right there in his office, he was his secretary or assistant or something. I was very excited, and they seemed startled. And amused. I didn't get whatever the part was, but it sure was a memorable audition.

I've gotta say, if my name were Barbara Crampton, I'd change it. On the other hand, I've remembered her name for 20 years, so maybe the Crampton was a good choice after all.

I mean honestly, decaptitated-head incestuous cunnilingus? This is the best movie ever! O shoot, I remembered it wrong, Dr. Hill isn't Barbara Crapton's father. Maybe I just wanted it to be decaptitated-head incestuous cunnilingus. Admittedly, decaptitated-head just plain cunnilingus is still pretty good. Man, I'm gonna get some unusual google hits from this page, ain't?

I love the actors playing Dr. Hill and Dean Halsey--they start the movie so buttoned-up and upper-class and get to be insanely covered in blood and headless and lurching about and things. Most fiftyish patrician actors don't get to drool chocolate syrup and smash their heads against windows and say lines like "Blaarrgh!!"

My favourite line in the entire movie, if not the entire history of cinema is: "Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow."

Caught up with Laura, Evany, and Library Lil.

Today's horoscope:
Making your world beautiful will be at the top of your list -- but getting your work done should be a priority, too. Sure, you can afford to shop now. Just be sure next week's check is in the bag first.

One year ago today:
...and I thought, you know what? I don't need to get caught up in this wondering whether this 25-year-old, cute or no, wants to fuck me or not.
