So I saw The Exorcism of Emily Rose tonight. I really enjoyed it, not at all as horror movie as I expected, rather horror flashbacks. The "scary" bits weren't actually all that scary, rather were more suspenseful and shocking. The concept of demonic possession was treated well, with both the skepticism and the religious views presented, obviously, with the point leading to agreement with the religious side of things. More important than that though was what the defense attorney said in her closing arguments about possibilities, and that then leading to reasonable doubt. I kind of felt like that argument was also being presented to the viewer, asking us to think outside of what we "know" and are comfortable with and to consider. Definitely food for thought. Also a movie I might see again.

(Description & discussion left deliberately vague so as not to "spoil" anyone)

Ok, on to bigger and better things. 48 hours from now I'll have finished the first round of testing, and probably will be out cold in my bed. God, I wish it could be 48 hours from now. I'm nervous and jerky, and still haven't officially found someone to get me to and fro once I'm drugged out of my head. Lots of possibilities, but all tempered by my own concerns about who I'm comfortable seeing me while I'm stoned and may or may not be an emotional mess. And then complicated by the challenge of getting my car back to me so that I can get to work on Wednesday. Gah! I just have to keep reminding myself that it's all one step at a time, and that there's no point is fretting about what may be and keep focusing on what is.

Also, having people over for spaghetti and Catch-phrase on Friday night. This means I must clean! Yippee!

Alright, I'm rambling, and have lost my focus, time to go to bed. G'night!
