Today has been a good day. You know how Sims have those little bars that need to be fulfilled -- like food, cleanliness, and social contact? I think I have one for alone-time. If I don't get any time to myself for a long time, I start to get really cranky. Today I just sat around the flat doing laundry and watching movies and it was perfect. When Caitlin came home she asked if I'd been out and gave me a funny look when I said no. Just as they can't understand me, I'll never understand people who constantly need to be doing something and who can't be alone. I like being a little bit bored sometimes. It allows me to clear my mind.

I watched Cloverfield, Dan in Real Life and No Country for Old Men today -- all of which I had not seen before. I am downloading Walk Hard, but it's far from being done. That's too bad because it would have nicely rounded off my day of all kinds of movies. I need a good silly comedy to add to my collection. Oh well.

Strangely enough, out of all three of those movies, I think I'd have to say that Cloverfield was the best! I thought I'd hate it! I wanted to give it a chance just because of the JJ Abrams factor, but I honestly loved it! I thought it was a great idea (especially the way in which it was filmed) and it had me screaming, cringing, and laughing out loud. Who else has seen it, and what were your thoughts?

Dan in Real Life was quite sweet. The premise sounds like a bad Ben Stiller movie but it was really real and nice and sweet. After an extreme Dane Cook overload, I'm sorry to say that I had gotten sort of sick of the man (sorry Leah, I hope it doesn't pain you to hear that!) but my love for him has returned after seeing a new side of him. Now he reminds me even more of my boyfriend Sam Anders. Or Samanders as I like to say it. Sort of like salamanders. [EDIT: Norbert Leo Butz needs to think about "Dancing Through Life" just a little more. No good cake goes unpunished. Something bad is happening in Oz. He won't be able to defy gravity like THAT! What happened there? Apparently Jamie is over and Jamie is gone. He certainly isn't moving too fast anymore. Okay I'm stopping now. But really. What happened?]

Now, as for No Country for Old Men... I didn't hate it. My feelings for it were generally positive, but I got a little bored. It was sort of long. And sort of slow. I think the only other Cohen brothers film I've seen is The Big Lebowski, which I think is much much better. Now I'll have to watch a few others to see if I am an actual Cohen brothers fan or not.

I have an appointment with myself to watch LOST exactly 12 hours from now. Boy am I excited. I am meeting Laura in the park for studytime at noon, so I had to schedule a time for LOST viewing before that. No way will I be able to concentrate on boring classics if I haven't gotten a good dose of "Cabin Fever". Oh god, I had the saddest moment the other day. Denver and I were having one of many general LOST discussions and I said something about how I loved Desmond and then I suddenly realized I had no idea where Desmond was. I said "Omigod, where is Desmond right now!? WHERE IS DESMOND!? I FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN SIX YEARS!" And then Denver went "Whaaat??? I have no idea??? What happened to Desmond!?!?!" And we both started freaking out for a good four minutes before I remembered. Basically, what I'm trying to say is this: it's been too long. I'm assuming we'll see him in this episode, thank god!!!

I had a dream last night that I was downloading the new episode of LOST, and somehow I came across next week's as well. But I didn't watch it because I didn't want to have to wait two weeks before seeing another episode. That's some self-restraint that I definitely don't have in my real, waking life. Strange.

Also how sad is it that I have dreams about watching LOST?? I say dreams, plural, because I've probably had at least 5 or 6 in my lifetime. What big obsessive freak I am.

Okayyy bye now.
