And all I can do is think about sleeping next to you.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love our new apartment? Even though it's a bit overwhelming at times with all the unpacking and organizing that needs to be done, for the most part I don't get too stressed out, even while banging my knees on boxes and misplaced bookcases. Speaking of knees, my right one is really sore today as if it's been hyperextended. I suspect the dog slept on my legs all night, causing the problem. I hate waking up with some mysterious injury, it's rather jarring.

I've slept so hard the past couple nights, I can't remember any dreams. And I wake up not wanting to leave. dommeyourass mentioned wanting a whole week off to be in our house and I couldn't agree more. Maybe after this weekend it will be better.

Last night I read through the Entertainment Weekly summer movie preview guide and made a mental list of all the movies I want to see which has promptly been lost. Except for one: The Day After Tomorrow. No, for real. I've seen the billboards and it didn't have much appeal, especially because of the line "from the makers of Independence Day" or whatever. But then I read it was about the near future coming of an ice age and I flipped out. I sort of have this secret obsession with this idea. ( I guess it's not so secret now.) I actually have a book on my shelf called "5/2/01" that's practically a textbook detailing how a certain planetary alignment on that day would cause these major geological and meteorological shifts, causing a new Ice Age. Obviously that didn't happen. And I remember at the time I ordered it while working at the bookstore, Miss Rook thought I was strange. And she's right. It's not even that I really believed it would happen, I was fascinated by the scientific analysis and the possibility, the idea that we think the earth and climate is so stable and won't be effect in this lifetime. I mean, I was also the kid who freaked out in elementary school when we learned that one day California would probably break off and float (or sink) into the ocean.

Then a few months ago, I read this article on Alternet called The Ice Age Cometh which freaked me out. It's all about how global warming will cause a fast moving Ice Age. I've read this article approximately ten times. And it's immediately what I thought of when I read about this dumb movie. But what can I say? I want to go see it because I'm obsessed with the next ice age.

And it stars Jake Gyllenhaal. So that helps.

National Geographic had a show on documenting this Ice Age in the future. They even went so far as to digitally animate what evolutionary changes will happen in the flora and fauna of the future. It was pretty crazy.

Oops

Scratch that, I think it was the Discover channel.

I totally want to see that. I have a perverse fascination with movies where landmarks get destroyed or altered. ;)

YOU freaked out about California breaking off! Living there, I was totally freaked out about that - but I was so preoccupied by the killer bees that I didn't have too much time to study up on what might happen with the breakoff issue.

you can see that one for me. while i love reading about natural disasters, the second time i saw the preview for this (oh, you were there, at ROTK), i walked out to go to the bathroom and almost didn't come back, having already panicked my way through the first time.

bUT. i am so happy you love your new house. and when will i get to see you?

I can't help but feeling that all these movies about Californina breaking off and the polar caps melting are perfectly timed to keep society at a heightened frightened state so that we'll re-elect bush and vote to destroy our civil liberties. I say this because I wouldn't put it past bush and company to some how spin naturally disaster into a terrorist attack.

Why am I picturing Bush and Cheney in snowsuits manning a giant Zamboni machine in Antartica in some sort of James-Bond-evil-genius attempt to cause a panic by eroding the polar icecaps? One evil Zamboni inch at a time? "Muwha-ha-ha-ha!", laughs evil-genius Cheney as evil-little-buddy Bush sweeps the Zamboni round and round....

Oh, well OK then.
