You are a wounded man

Shutter Island made me very, very happy. It also makes me very bitter and sad that Dark City was not as good as it ought to have been.

Also, Jackie Earle Haley needs to stop being awesome in everything, because I am morally opposed to the Nightmare On Elm Street remake.

I'm pretty sure that trauma and traum are false cognates, by the way, but I would love to be proved wrong. The idea is lovely.

Today was an Ikea day, and now I have a new bookcase and two new DVD racks media storage units. I just need two more and maybe I can contain the CDs that are scattered around the house. If I blow off noveling again tomorrow, I might actually have a clean living room.

The first version of Dark City was really pretty good. Then the director screwed it up and made them recall all the real movies, in favor of his terrible new director's cut.

I've been trying to remember why I started watching Human Target, my new favorite Silly Show. Have you mentioned it? Because Jackie Earle Haley is awesome on a weekly basis.

Alas, trauma is Greek τραῦμα—wound, hurt, damage—and Traum is simply a dream, but it's a false cognate worth running with. Your dreams are what can hurt you worst.
