So, I woke up because I could not breathe. Serve me right for thinking I could make it through the night again without cold medicine. Drat. And here I was feeling better. I woke up this time in the middle of another post apocalyptic zombie dream. I know I haven't seen any zombies in any of them yet but if I wake up telling myself it is a zombie dream.... well... That's what it is. The weird part is in these dreams, not everything has falle apart yet. It is a slow gradual process... And it might not even all fall apart. For some reason I'd been living in this giant underground complex. I would go visit people living on the surface who seemed a lot happier than I was. I'm still not sure what's going on /there/. Again, I told all of my friends we should make the long trip to my parent's place because with the farming and the fishing and the hunting and all.... we'd be okay.

I think reading Stephen King is, as usual, not the greatest for me. Especially not so many over a long span while I'm living by myself. Serves me right for not reading them before, I guess. I'm not like... panicked or seriously freaked out. I'm just... not sleeping and thinking about it a lot. Which... in itself is spooky enough. Of course, my instincts to grab a lot of people and herd up together is a good one. I just don't know how truly viable it is.

So... This weekend in review: Friday - Galactica! Wooooo! Cain is crazy! Totally crazy!

Saturday - I went out and did shopping things. Aquired stuff. Wheee stuff. Also aquired a massive headache and so came home. It was exciting. Really. I promise. I found out that apparently there is a guy who comes and stares in my window. I'm not sure what he's seeing because... well... all of my blinds are closed pretty much all the time. I wish him well. There was also an extreme break up fight in the apartment above me. At 3:30 in the morning. I almost called the cops since it almost broke that line into violence a few times. Things were thrown across rooms and broken but... Well... They're typically noisy up there.

Sunday - The day of boredom, for whatever reason. I went to go see Brokeback Mountain. I was expecting this movie to reach out and blatantly go for heart strings and I don't know why I was... I just knew that I was. It doesn't. This movie starts slow, very slowly and builds and builds. It never gets over stated or over dramatic and it never gets to the point where the characters become hyper-real, which happens in love stories on the screen all too often. It starts out with two people coming together and making a choice. And the way it is presented... it doesn't even really seem like a concious choice. And everything that happens from there are just the series of choices that fall out afterward. None of the decisions that are made seem like the ones I would have made but with who these characters are I don't know if they, being who they were, could have made any other choices. It's a good movie and one where about half of the way through, I realized could not end well. And I was right. It doesn't. The last twenty minutes are hard. Heath Ledger does a great job of playing a man who has trouble connecting with his emotions in any fashion going through some very extreme ones. I was very impressed with his acting as well as his accent. This movie presents everything that happens in a very 'it is what it is' sort of way and allows you to decide what you think that is. It isn't everyone's cup of tea but is is a very beautiful movie - a lot of it filmed in Calgary for as much as they say they're in Riverton, Wyoming.

Anyway... I'm awake... and I'm not tired, thankfully... I'm just not sleeping as much as I would like. Which happens from time to time. I'm certainly walking to work today.

And since LJ just tried to eat this post...  I'm going to post it before it goes away.

He has the same effect on me that Giles did in Buffy. Any time he's on screen I feel that everything will be okay.

I don't think I can see Brokeback Mountain for all that I want to, Larry McMurtry always kills me and I am having the feeling this one really doesn't end well. ANd plus they'll never actually show it in savannah lol

It doesn't end as badly as it might have, though. Like I said, the last twenty minutes were hard.
