Zombie Movie and Dating Anniversary:
We finally watched Pontypool which is an independent zombie movie made in Canada. I had no idea Canadians even knew about zombies. I imagine they've only come to know about them recently, which would explain many things about this movie.
I wouldn't say it was a "bad" movie, but I was disappointed. The premise was interesting, but nonsensical enough that it required more explanation to really develop my ability/desire to suspend disbeleif. They also used some unique and creative methods to deal effectively with their tiny budget. Again, nice try, but it didn't quite work for me. As far as bloody, cannibalistic zombies, you really only see one. In a so-called zombie movie, that's not nearly enough. Besides, zombie extras really don't cost that much. A good Ben Nye makeup kit only costs about $60 and they could have borrowed mine. ;-] There were some plot and character devleopments that I found frustrating and stupid. Plus I'm finding more and more that profanity alone does not an interesting dialogue make. All and all, I'm glad I watched it, but won't bother buying it. But someone must have liked it, as the sequel comes out in 2010. H enjoyed it more than I did, but his standards for horror are very different from mine.
Soeaking of H, I totally meant to mention something last week, but it slipped my mind. I completely forgot to mention that mine and H's dating anniversary was June 6th. That was the day, in 1999, that we decided to become an exclusive couple. Even though we are married now and will only be celebrating wedding anniversaries from now on--we wanted to make note of this one as it represents Ten Whole Years of Wednes and H!!! I honestly can't think of anything else in life that I've chosen to do for ten whole years.
Our intention is to buy ourselves a new video game. We must decide the following: Wii or Xbox, shooter or puzzle (or something else), and how much we really want to spend--less than $60 I should think. We're also open to suggestions. Left 4 Dead 2 doesn't come out until November. But we'll almost certainly be picking it up. It looks wicked awesome.

HOWEVER, that said, my first marriage was on Halloween and the divorce fell on Valentine's Day, I shit you not. File the paperwork in January; 30 day waiting period, and viola! Divorced on Val Day. (Of course, the waiting period for a gun is only seven days. But I digress.)
A friend of mine drove up to Columbus for their zombie walk. Next time I logon to email I'll post the link.

June 6th is the anniversary of when we decided to become a monogamous couple. Actually, I thought he'd relax about the whole monogamy thing later on, but he never did. *mock sigh*

My SiL is like that: an anniversary for when they first met, first dated, first held hands, first kissed, first fingerbanged, yadda yadda yadda.
I'm lucky I can remember my own birthday! Oi!

I find that sexist. And true.
Truly sexist!
