No Spoilers, But the Ring 2 Sucks

It really, really did. In a sense, it was so un-scary that it has healed some of the trauma of the scariness of The Ring. I mean, lots of things are scary until you see them enough, and The Ring 2 was all about showing the creepy girl SO much that you got used to her. The magic is gone, my friends. Spend the money if only to see Sissy Spacek, and to be less scared of The Ring.

There's only been a few movies I've been so scared during or after that I am inevitably changed. Top Five are as follows (no particular order).

1. House on a Haunted Hill (remake) MINUS the last 15 minutes. It was somehow crazy scary until then.

2. The Ring (American Version)

3. It

4. Blair Witch Project

5. Gremlins

Watching any one of these will still scare me, but I'm hoping not to have to watch them alone again ever. I love them all dearly, but I love sleep even more. "Signs" also did a good job of scaring me, but it requires not thinking hard about anything.

Today was a beautiful day--40 degrees feels so wonderful, and the sun was a-shinin', so I skipped out early with the boy and scored an awesome 35 cent lobster baking mold to add to my growing collection of lobster-related items. Ran into even other kids from the program whilst out and about. Everyone needed to take a break.

Spring break is magical, what with there being practically no undergrads around (quieter bus rides and streets and bars) but still I work. I've got a presentation coming up--the last big one I'll have to give this semester--so I have to get moving on that. Less than two weeks to go, and it needs to be good. I'm having trouble multi-tasking between the project I have, the microscopy stuff I want to learn, getting ready for this presentation, and grading damn lab reports. I should clear the lab reports out of the way first--I work better with less things to hop between.

Anyway! In summary, school, life in madison, love in madison, friends and such all continue to be good. I won't be going home for easter, and that feels kindof bad, but I'm getting used to it. Spring may come soon! but it probably won't!
