Exactly. Why is this so difficult? I just want some sleep, damnit. I will fuck her well and long. She will make inconsistent yet loud noises. She will sing "Fernando." Then I will sleep.
Interesting choice.

On the rental side I watched "Touching The Void" on DVD. A documentary with harrowing scenes reenacted. A DEFINITE must see. Any suggestions on other nail biting movies?

I have the scarred eardrums and sinuses that result from swinging too far to the "it's just a virus, you don't need antibiotics" reaction to the general tendency to overprescribe antibiotics.
Well, I let the damn thing go and it went away on its own, so it couldbn't have been anything that big.

One of the best ghost story movies is the B/W film from the 60's "The Haunting". Old school horror movie. Still scarier than 98% of the schlock today.

"Session 9" is creepy as all hell. Not good, but creepy.

If you want sick as fuck AND creepy, go for the Japanese film by Miike (hell, all of his films are effed) "Audition".

Does anyone know the story of the kid in Europe (Germany?) several decades ago who was held captive from birth until he was released at age 18 and learned everything about life at that point? Can you tell me that guy's name? This is driving me crazy. There are books and documentaries about him.

Don't remember, but damn, they have a website for everything: http://www.feralchildren.com. Maybe he's in there.

Actually, yes, although I think "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" would also be appropriate.

On an entirely unrelated note, tickets for the Seahawks-Falcons game were available on Overstock.com (in fact, they're still listed). Word is that Matt Hasselbeck is looking forward to experiencing the Big O.
