Where I Am: In my condo complex

What I’m doing: Yet again walking from the dumpster to my car

This was my day.

Unfortunately, we were leaving the house to pick up Lisa’s car, which was left at my parents’ house when she was too tired to drive Friday night.

We had just watched The Descent, which was scary enough that we briefly considered sleeping with the television on to ward off any subterranean nightmares that may have taken up residence in our closet.

We finished the first season of The Wire the night before on the assumption that it was too late to watch The Descent as it would be too loud. This proved to be right for, although the scary scenes were not complimented by the horror movie standard of LOUD AND SUDDEN VIOLIN SCREECHES, the action was accompanied by LOUD SUSPENSE-INCITING MUSIC. Also, lots of screaming. It was good enough that I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a really good horror movie that’s just a good time and not much else.

The first season of The Wire was so good that we immediately bought the second as soon as we finished. I’m actively avoiding any details of the series except for the fact that the Amazon reviews say the second season is better than the first.
