I'm melting! Melting!

(and I'm not even a witch!)

Anyway, the humidity is well, really doing a number on me here. I think it's because of my hypertension medication :( Luckily, I have a doctors appointment on Aug. 2, so I'll ask about that (I don't have A/C access, so that's out).

Also, being mid month, if I don't hear from Disability tomorrow (being saturday), I have to call them on monday. Thrill. But seriously, I need this right now. Otherwise, amongst other things, chances are I'll loose my health insurance (which Medicaid just set me up with, BTW) come October.

Well, let's do a little upbeatness. How about some movies I've seen recently?

Cable TV:
I, Robot: Not a bad movie, but one of the few action movies I have little interest in seeing again.

The Terminal: Now this was an enjoyable movie. Sadly, it's actually based on a true story. Thing is though, they set it in America, and as a result of a loophole in Homeland Security, when the actual story it's based on is in London (I believe Heathrow Airport), and it started in the late 80's, long before 9/11 and the like (and I know the guy actually lived at the airport for at least 11 years. I'm not sure if he ever went home yet).

The Punisher: Formerly one of my favorite Marvel Comics. Thomas Jane did a pretty decent job this. They are working on the sequel, I'll see it.

Theatre:

War of the Worlds: Wow! I think Spielberg did an amazing job with this. Even Tom Cruise was enjoyable. The use of camera angles was fantastic, really gave you a sense of awe and the entire movie really immersed you, and gave you a real sense of impending doom and hopelessness. And not just from the alien attacks, but how the surviving people reacted with desperation (usually against one another). I think this movie was WAY better than the 1953 version with Gene Barry (whom, along with his female co-star [I forgot her name] make a cameo as the grandparents at the end of the movie).

My biggest concern is young Dakota Fanning. She's such a talented little girl, but with this, "Hide and Seek" earlier this year, and a few more movies she has coming out, this girl is going to grow up into one messed up chick. I sincerely hope her parents are a strong grounding influence in her life.

Joo-Lie da Fourth (coming)

I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish all my friends a happy and safe Independence Day (and a happy Canada day, even though it was the 1st).

Also, keep checking my cafepress site (just click on the title of this post) as I am adding new stuff fairly regularly (and not everything has my picture on it!).
