I hereby take back everything I said about the health industry. Today I got the hospital bill: $5300 with $4300 discounted. I can't complain about that, no sir. I'm just happy it's not hanging over my head any more. Almost makes me regret applying for insurance.

I went to the movies yesterday with Ryan (still wallowing in the Evil John's clutches, trying to decide how badly he wants to escape) and Kristin, my sometime movie friend. I wanted to see Avatar again, but Ryan had already seen it once and Kristin didn't really seem all that enthusiastic about it.
This left kind of slim pickings of what was playing. I would have been happy having them over to my place for some recent Blu-ray releases. I have a library of over 200 movies; in theory I shouldn't ever have to go to the theater again. But we all want to see the latest and hottest big screen titles.
The choice was between Daybreakers and Legion, except Daybreakers didn't start until 9 pm or some craziness. Guess it can only be watched by vampires? So by default it was Legion. I would like to make it clear we by no means were DYING to see this or anything. In fact, the others hadn't heard of it until I mentioned it, so I guess I have to take full responsibility.
( ::Cut for such badness I hate to pollute your F-list with it:: )
I agree with most of the reviews, it starts out very promising, then completely loses steam halfway through and never recovers. I felt so bad for dragging my friends I offered to refund their money.
It wasn't a complete waste though. According to the trailers, Rorschach is the new Freddy Krueger. I don't mean this in a "white is the new black" way. I mean Jackie Earle Haley is the new Freddy Krueger. I don't have any affinity for the franchise, but THIS I would go see.
I think Jackie is a fabulous choice, but honestly, Robert Englund could probably play the role until he drops dead of a heart attack while chasing sleepless kids around. That makeup would easily hide any normal wear and tear on his face. (but rumor has it he doesn't want to play Freddy anymore)

I'll leave you with this lovely photo Tery found in our closet: band photo, circa 1978(?)
It's never pretty when you force a tomboy into a skirt. I look like I want to stab the photographer's eyes out with my mouthpiece
