Notes from the Field
- I switched from my summer quilt to my down comforter yesterday. It vastly improved the heat situation in the bedroom.- My grandmother has a lot of stuff. Too much of it came home with me on Saturday.
- While living alone, one should not watch horror movies before going to bed. The movies themselves aren't inherently scary, but it's a bit creepy with shadows and whatnot after turning out the lights. That said, I shut my bedroom doors and I was fine.
- Speaking of slasher films, one movie I absolutely want to see is BEHIND THE MASK: RISE OF LESLIE VERNON. "Behind the Mask begins as a viciously smart deconstruction of the slasher film, a nuts and bolts breakdown of the formula that made the genre in the first place, all presented to the audience by Leslie Vernon, a friendly, funny, eminently likable young man who just so happens to want to kill people. But as the film progresses it slowly warps and mutates until it ceases to be a meta-film about slasher films and becomes a ripping slasher picture itself." I'm interested to see what A thought of it.
- I reconfirmed this weekend that St. Paul is really far away. I've also confirmed that deer live between my house and there.
- I ran out of books to read this weekend. It was horrifying. I've reread pretty much everything in my closet in the last few weeks so I was very upset.
- I bought doorstops yesterday.
