anam cara

Between seeing Paul yesterday afternoon and then watching a marathon of Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files on SyFy right before bed, I had some effed up dreams/nightmares last night. The kind where you wake up with a jolt and a bit of a yell at 3am and you can't go back to sleep because every time you close your eyes you feel like something's there. I swear I felt something touch my shoulder. And in case you didn't know, I've been fascinated and SCARED TO DEATH of aliens and abductions since I was a kid. While I don't think they'd really bother with most of the crap people claim they do, the thought of it all being real is enough to terrify me. The TNG episode where some of the crew gets abducted, sliced up, and put back together stills bothers me. YOU'RE ALREADY IN SPACE AND YOU'RE STILL GETTING ABDUCTED?! I have to turn the volume down whenever I hear that clicking noise. *shudder*

( So about that movie, Paul... (spoilers within) )

Where was I going with this? Ummm... I laughed out loud quite a few times and was quite entertained. I look forward to adding this to my DVD collection when it comes out. Might even go see it in the theater again. I love their sense of humor and even though I felt like poop again as soon as the movie was over, for a couple hours I had a wonderful time :D

But I'm still feeling icky. Thankfully, I have new Community tonight and we have Dogma from Netflix. I still have a few other things I really need to do, but maybe I can squeeze them in tomorrow. I'm just not feeling the motivation today. It figures that the one night I actually go to sleep early because I'm so tired, I end up having nightmares about being abducted and barely get any sleep :/

Last night I watched a Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper movie called Murder By Decree and I actually really enjoyed it. The story is basically From Hell but this movie came first. And has Holmes and Watson. Speaking of Watson, I loved him. He wasn't Stupid! He was funny and adorable and even had a BAMF moment. Despite it being a pretty dark movie, there was some sweet humor in there too. I don't want to spoil all the good bits, but here is my favorite scene. It won't let me embed so you'll just have to watch it on YouTube. Worth it though. Anyway, I would definitely recommend this movie, even if it's just for the Holmes/Watson friendship ♥_♥

Today I was finally able to visit this Irish bakery and get the pastie I've been craving FOREVER. I got two - one for today and one for tomorrow - but now I'm wishing I had gotten more. Mmmm... so good.

Had a friend cancel on me today (for a very good reason) but instead of being all anti-social, I called another friend and asked what she was doing. I still had to give her her Christmas present anyway. So I went downtown, peeked into Lush and treated myself to some King of the Mods since I haven't had any in ages and I really love it, read for a bit until she got off work and met up with her. Her hubby picked us up and we had a lovely dinner and watched two movies, the first one being really good ('Exit Through the Gift Shop') and the other being not-so-great ('Grimm').

Tomorrow, or I guess today now, I have one more movie to watch and then I think I'm going to spend the rest of the day watching Sherlock, Doctor Who, White Collar, IDK. Maybe I'll start some of those shows I've been meaning to watch. I should also probably read some Sherlock fic. I haven't felt like reading lately, so I've been saving links and I have quite a few saved up.

Also, totally woke up with this playing in my brain -

Before work tomorrow, I get to call about a doctor appointment and jury duty. FUN. And I keep having moments of HOLYSHITIMNOTGOINGTOHAVEAJOBORMONEYINLESSTHANTWOWEEKS anxiety and panic. ALSO FUN. Things are strained. Both at home and at work. I was screaming at my mom last night and sobbing. After having already broken down in the bathroom at work. I'd hate to experience a full blown nervous breakdown.

I had to stay an extra 1 1/2 hours at work today. Should've been happy about OT, but when you're already in a fragile frame of mind and you have things planned out and you're ready to leave at a certain time... Plus, my Co 'asked' if I could stay (about 5 minutes before I was to leave) even though nobody else could come in to cover, so really I HAD to stay and she was being... I'm not sure what word I'm looking for here. But she was being very THAT and I might have thrown a little bitch fit and was on the verge of tears. I know it's that time of the month, but that's not normal. Even for me. I don't necessarily mind being crazy, I just don't like not being in control of my emotions/actions. Oh, to be a Vulcan... It's just very tiring being slightly unstable. Unhinged. Where once I was simply not looking forward to work, now I DREAD it. I start to feel physically ill at the thought of having to spend time there especially with certain people.

At least this made me smile (from https://www.bbcsurvey.co.uk/):




Oh, and !!!!!!!!!!

1. I won!!

2. Saw Inception today and really enjoyed it. Best parts? Music (not surprising with Hans Zimmer being involved) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Everyone was really good though, and it was such a wonderful mind fuck of a movie.

3. !!!!!!!!!!!!!



And now I'm going to watch the first episode of Unubore Deka because my world could use a little more Toma.

The rest of this week and the beginning of the next are going to suuuuuuuuuuuuuck :/
