I didn't watch Desperate Housewives last night. I chatted with Michael. I read more 'Threshold'. I slept well but woke with yet another headache. I was hoping to see Michael today but he picked up some good hours at his 2nd job and won't be free until after Midnight.

In entertainment news, Scream 4, though a self contained story, is the first in a new trilogy, which will not feature Randy back from the dead. Cary Elwes will return in Saw VII (which will be in 3D in theaters); his character hasn't been seen since the first installment and was a loose end that I'd always wanted to see again so I'm slightly interested in this, yet they fucked the intricate storyline up in Part 4 and I've not seen 5 or 6. Perhaps I'll rewatch the series when VII comes out on DVD.

They're making a film of Bret Easton Ellis's upcoming sequel to "Less Than Zero". "Less Than Zero" is one of my favorite books, and while I enjoy the movie, they are extremely different animals. In the movie, we know that Robert Downey Jr's straight character (in a movie filled with straight characters) has reached rock bottom because he's found sucking dick for drugs by the straight protagonist of the film. In the book all the characters are bisexual and instead of saving his friend from the terrible sucking of cock, he joins in by watching his friend get fucked. He also has a boyfriend (or at least a male lover) through part of the novel. And all the characters are unsympathetic...and nobody gets saved at the end. The movie has a sad ending for one character and a theme of redemption for his two best friends. I like seeing different interpretations of things though so I don't hate the movie, but it doesn't really represent the core of the book to any degree.

I have a monster migrain. I've been waking up with headaches lately. It was rainy this morning and now it's sunny. It's common for migrain sufferers to get these types of headaches when the weather is in constant flux so I'm pretty sure that's the cause.
