Weekend Worrier

This weekend, I:

* Watched A Boy and His Dog, The Day After, and Cherry 2000 all in a row.
* Did some boring stuff.
* Met exactly one new person.
* Broke hearts and noses.
* Seem to have fixed my fckued cellphone by smacking it on the desk.
* Made up for that by fckuing my iPod software again.
* Gave up on a lost cause.
* Possibly caused a new loss.

Only one of these things is an outright lie. The rest are as "true" as any "truth" I am likely to utter. In any case, my short-term plans appear to have changed a wee bit.

Unrelatedly: Warm Fuzzies to my sister, who's having a hard time at the moment.

I'd wager that the non-truth was about breaking hearts and noses.

That is a frightening combination of movies. Like the first and last, still find the middle one way too disturbing to watch in its entirety, despite its melodrama and copious use of stock footage.

Samm: it was a 'theme night' of post-apocalypse movies. None of us had seen the Day After since we were kids, and we all reckoned it brought that kid fear back to us.

Yes, melodrama and stock footage abound, but it's still disturbing. And it's from the director of Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan!!!
