green_dreamsIt was a remarkably good weekend, all things taken into account.
Angel had a nightmare last night--at any rate, she started growling in her sleep, and the hair stood up along her spine, which looked very odd given that she was curled up on her side--but calmed out of it when petted. There's only a few more doses of painkiller, but five more days of antibiotic that smells absolutely putrid. She isn't fighting as much as Toby did when he got it; I think my administering technique has improved, which is a depressing thought.
Saw Mrs. Henderson Presents Saturday night and Silent Hill this afternoon. The first was decent, but felt a touch thin or flat in places; mind you, that might have been just me.
Silent Hill was excellent. Beautiful onscreen, kept a clear distinction between the living and the dead--or the mundane and the other, which is probably a better way of putting it--without making the split a clearcut checkbox kind of thing. Dialogue felt a little flat and heavy on the expository lumps, but not enough to ruin anything. The barbed wire bit was astounding. Avoiding spoilers.
(Honestly,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
agentofdespair, I do not think paper bags stop people from trying to stab you. No stabbing strikes me as important. The nurse in red and white would be a better bet. Or the cop.)
Also saw the Clerks2 trailer. This may have contributed to my using the the phrase "Mr. BooBooKittyFuck of Darkness" in a serious discussion this evening.
...odd, but remarkably good.
