What a Weekend
Saturday I spent most of the day packing for my upcoming move to Hoboken, land of Frank Sinatra. My living room is pretty much filled with boxes now, but I can sit at the computer and walk to the bedroom and bathroom.
On the upside, I did see a good movie last night. I went to see "The Eye", a horror movie from Hong Kong. It was creepy in that Japanese horror movie kind of way. You know, the creepy build up of terror interspersed with sudden shocks. But it wasn't quite scary enough to be a nightmare-inducer. The ending was a little wimpy, but overall, if you enjoy movies that slowly creep you out, then I definitely recommend this one.
Today was spent mostly at the hospital visiting a relative. He has Crohn's disease and is now suffering from a partial obstruction of the small intestine. They are keeping him in the hospital for observation. That and treatment, because he's in a good deal of pain. So all the packing I planned on finishing today didn't get done. Ah well, a friend of mine is going to help me out tomorrow. The movers are coming at 10 am on Tuesday morning. I'll then be homeless for a week, bunking in with a friend of mine. Fortunately he has wireless broadband and my work laptop has a wireless card, so I won't be Internet challenged.
The only other bright spot is that it rained all weekend, so I wasn't scared by the big yellow thing in the sky.
