I watched the horrible werewolf movie "Cursed" last night; it's released on dvd to rent & buy tomorrow. It's really bad in some places, and it's ok in others. It's sad really, because if they had gotten it right it would have been best werewolf movie since The Howling in 1982. The special effects for the transformations sucked beyond the telling of it; making the creature funny instead of scary. But there was potential. blah.

I played RollerCoasterTycoon3 last night, after the movie; taking perverse pleasure in ripping my old parks to shreds and watching the people plummet to their would-have-been, should-have-been deaths. lol Fell alseep about 6am. Mark called/woke me up around noon to see if I was working today (which I'm not).

I watched "Ode To Billy Joe" on video (which Ben found for me at work); it's not available on dvd. The movie is based on the haunting Bobbie Gentry tune, and I watched it on television with my sister when we were very young. I think I only watched the movie to a certain point and stopped, because I didn't know about the movie's "twist" until a few years ago when I heard the song at random, and decided to track down the movie for fun. Billy Joe, it turns out, was gay. When I talked to my sister about this, she said she remembered that, so she must have watched the entire movie.

I wrote a poem, inspired by that info, soon after.
