The Last Couple of Days

[anam_moon]

My Mom called me at work on Thursday to tell me our Water Heater had blown on us and had attempted flooding the house. Fortunately she's still off because of her surgery or it probably wouldn't have been stopped in time to save our carpets, etc. I would have been very, very annoyed if it had gone into my room and ruined my floors and I had to have my room torn up again to replace it. She had to have a neighbor turn it off out on the street so she called to suggest that since we didn't have any water at the house that I might want to be elsewhere for the night. James and I ended up staying at a motel and then after leaving from there we went for breakfast and caught a showing of "Van Helsing." It was fun, I would watch it again. I would have to say I am most pleased with the look of the werewolves in it. I think they are conceptually the best werewolf I have ever seen in a film. I'm not sure if they are quite how I would picture a wolf/human hybrid, but I liked the look a lot better than most film werewolves I've seen. They were much furrier than the the ones in "Underworld." After being home for a while my Aunt Sandy showed up. We don't get to see her very often, but she was in town for Mother's Day. After getting to visit with her Dragon came over to show me "Master and Commander." She couldn't believe that there was a film that she had seen twice in the theatre and owned that I had never seen. It happens so rarely. =)
