3-day Weekend Starto

I've heard from everybody (I think) that I was worried about in Japan. I had a string of events yesterday that meant I didn't find out about the earthquake until really late in the day, and then couldn't check the internet really until much later. I did spend 45 minutes on a treadmill watching CNN coverage and being increasingly worried about snowqueenofhoth, but thankfully she was safely home by the time I could check anything out.

I was...amused isn't the right word maybe...that via twitter especially, I found out that a lot of the people in my favorite bands were reporting in safe at almost the same time as friends. That was a relief too. amazonstorm and I were talking about how it felt shallow to think about things like that when so many people were dead or missing, but I said that really, why wouldn't we worry about them too? Certainly I spend enough mental energy following various guys to want to know if they're alive and okay. Johnny's especially, since a lot of them don't live in Tokyo or anything. I was glad so many staff for dramas and shows and things reported they were safe very quickly.

I drove out to my Latin Festival meeting this morning and on the way back stopped at a Blockbuster that was shutting down in a couple days and got a bunch of DVDs for like $3 each. I'm watching First Snow right now which is half-decent but can't quite decide whether it's a thriller or what. I'm going to try Give em Hell, Malone after this. I also picked up Shutter which I love but didn't own, and Be Kind, Rewind, which I saw on a plane once and thought was cute enough to be worth $3. my blockbuster's going out as well, but it's still in the $8 stage, so i'm going to wait a little longer.

also I tried some more running on the treadmill, and basically every part of my body is unimpressed with that. I'm surprised I can do it at all, really, but I think it has to do with how I've been doing the elliptical and that's the same sort of motion (minus the 200 lbs of impact).

Have you seen the original thai version of Shutter?

no, just the remake. I only even watched it the first time because it had the guy from Fringe in it, but the american version's good. How's the original?

horrifying... which means it's good, right?
