two towers: the most expensive movie ever
i played hookey today,but really i needed a mental health day. and i ended up feeling a little sick anyway...i ate some ben and jerry's that had little teeny pieces of chocolate in it...well,back on the wagon. i went for four days without chocolate or dairy products. and i was beginning to feel a little bit better,except for this silly cough. i don't know if it's an allergy to mould. i took my mould/yeast/dust homeopathic remedy this noon with brunch but i forgot to take some more tonight. it usually works very well if i've got an allergy.
anyhow,today was my day to be ALONE.i was pretty lazy but i did do some laundry and some grocery shopping to get a little ahead of things,since tomorrow i'll be watching out for mom until tuesday morning,and i know she needs to get some medications filled,plus my sister said we are going to have to police my mother's medications because my mother is taking too many clonazapems and that stuff is nasty. she gets nervous and it helps your nerves,but it makes you feel drunk and dopey. i just used it myself a couple of weeks ago when i was having trouble sleeping when i started the wellbutrin. well,i'm still having trouble sleeping,but i think maybe i will try simply getting up earlier...maybe i don't need as much sleep as i used to or something,and if i get up a bit earlier,i'll be more tired the next day and able to fall asleep. well,the wellbutrin helps me enough that it's worth tolerating this sleeping wackiness,though i have been kinda low the past two days,but hey my life is hella difficult right now.
and i can't afford to call in sick once a week to catch up on chores and relax a bit. i'm going to have to try to deal with working my forty hours (which is fifty hours away from home counting commuting) and then do my chores and watch out for mom on my weekends. oy,wish me luck.
well,now that i've bored everyone included myself,i just continue. ha.
i was reading some old emails to and from my friend sean. i've kept most of them because he writes great emails and i like my replies,as we discuss books,philosophy,blah blah blah as well as trying to be witty.
well,we haven't corresponded much in the last year because he's been off to college,and naturally that majorly occupies one's life.in fact,i haven't heard from him since august which is quite a long time not to hear,but i hope he's just having a great time in his sophomore year.
anyhow,in the course of rereading one i wrote to him,i stumbled upon this,written at the end of december last year:
~~~~~
my sister wants to go see lord of the rings but i'm not motivated to go out,spend almost ten bucks,and sit in one place for ten hours,even though i've heard it's fantastic.
~~~~~~~
arghhhh!even though movies look wonderful on the big screen i dont' go to the movies very often.i have a hard time sitting still for that long. movies are expensive. and i rarely have any time. anyhow,my sister and i actually ended up driving to the theatre on new year's eve,assuming we could go see lord of the rings because the movie theatre is always open. we went to see 'dances with wolves' one thanksgiving. well,the theatre was closed. and i suppose afterwards i had trouble finding a block of time (ten hours,after all...okay,so i exaggerate a little) to go see it when i felt i could sit still for that long,so i never did get to see it in the theatre.
and this year,when the second movie comes out,which i am now dying to see...and i would be able to sit there for ten hours if it's as good as the first one...i don't know how i'm going to be able to go see it because i have to take care of mom on weekends. and i don't really think i can drag her with me. i dragged her to see star wars with me last june so i could get my ewan obi wan kenobi fix,and it was a fun movie,though i thought it was too loud which just made me feel geriatric. i think mom said something about 'what an imagination'. she just wanted to get out of the house,i think.
nope,i don't think it would be very nice of me to have my mom sit there for three hours,since she's always running to the bathroom or having a coughing fit. it's hell to get old for some folks.
the only way i'll probably be able to see it,is if i scored tickets for the first midnight showing and left work early...but i don't think i feel like going by myself when there are going to be huge crowds,even if i could get tickets.
or i'll have to play hookey,which means this movie would cost me about $67 to see even if i smuggle in my own snacks...
