a nightmare on elm street

got my two dvd's from lerner today:

a nightmare on elm street 3: The Dream Warriors
a nightmare on elm street 4: The Dream Master

i don't know why i felt the need to write those out. i'm just so happy with them :) me and austin started the dream warriors this evening and liu walked in and we made smoothies. ...liu asked if he could finish his smoothie before we start the movie again 'cause he was scared. PUSSY! haha, i thought that was funny. austin was also hesitant to watch it because the last time i made him watch one of these (2?) he said he had a nightmare about it where freddy was terrorizing his high school friends and his family....oops. nonetheless, he watched it with me. we'll see how he sleeps.

i've explained this before but there reason i'm so enthralled by freddy is that there are only two movies that has every given me a nightmare: a nightmare on elm street (original) and this movie called jacob's ladder. of course i had to own them both (masochistic...i suppose) as well as the rest of the series of a nightmare on elm street (a total of five plus 'new nightmare' and 'freddy's dead'...oh, and the eighth, and best, 'freddy vs. jason'....SO HOT!!!). i just saw it when i was WAY to young. i actually don't even remember the nightmare i had....but i remember that i did. now scary movies are just comical to me. dave was unimpressed 'cause he failed to see how it was scary...but that's not why i like them. i guess it's kind of the fact that there ARE people that are afraid of it that intrigues me. i guess there's a bit of ego-boosting in that too but hey, all the better. it's enjoyable....and the cheesy 80's dialogue and giant hairdos make it all the better to me :) i have a very unorthadox appreciation for movies...in case you haven't noticed.

for example, a list. here's the list of movies on my 'wishlist' w/ columbiahouse DVD

-From Dusk 'Till Dawn (i like quentin and rodriguez)
-XXX (asia argento! and a rammstein video at the beginning)
-The Faculty (i was intrigued with aliens all through high school...famke's HOT...and i believe there's gratuitous nudity as well)
-Point Break (surf, robbery, dead presidents...unfortunate that it's keanu reaves, though....good movie)
-Kuffs (christian slater's hilarious, and milla jovovich ranks among my top five hottest women on earth)
-True Romance (a movie i don't completely remember but remember seeing. great cast, including christian slater again)
-Moonlight Mile (Ellen Pompeo is my new favorite actress these days, so cute. and jacob gyllenhaal, from donnie darko is awesome too. susan sarandon and dustin hoffman as well. there are so many tiny subtleties to this movie that had me grinnin' like a kid in a candy store)
-Freddy's Dead
-New Nightmare
-Nightmare on Elm Street 5 - The Dream Child

it was a LOOOOONG day today. as i posted before, i got up at 6:15am and i was doing my pset by seven am. i went to class at eleven, and worked on it more with skarfin after that right up until half an hour before class. i went to the steps to chill just 'cause i couldn't think (especially since i'd only gotten three hours of sleep. ugh) and bumped into candace actually. she just kinda stood there for a while with a disgruntled look on her face as i walked up to her...don't really know what she was trying to say with that. we talked for all of two minutes as she walked off somewhere and i parked it. i realized after she left that my chest was tight....grr....still never happy to see her. makes it easier that i never see her though...sad as it sounds. i tried, i failed too many times, i gave up (almost completely) trying to be a real friend to her.

better off being a ghost.

on to lighter things. after class (which was actually pretty interesting...analog electronics, go figure) i chilled a bit and then went blading with brian white. we went all the way down to chelsea piers, with one rest. funny thing...there's this one intercection where the path from the riverwalk come sup to riverside park under the highway....now last friday when i was blading with krischelle i went by it and heard my name being called from behind. turns out it was jeremy boyd, a grad student who started ultimate with us. he was with his fiance, gorgeous girl, walkin' in the park. so cute :) either way, we talked a bit and we got on our way (i had to entertain!). and then, TODAY, with white passing the same intercection i hear another voice calling my name. what're the odds? so weird.....either way this time it was kk taking a walk hand in hand with a boy who must've been about four or five. very cute. he was a little scared of me....kids do that sometimes. but then this woman walked by with two parrots on her shoulders and he started talking like a parrot...sounded like he was quoting some movie. it was really cute :) kk was really surprised, especially after he shrunk behind her when i said hi to him....

so yeah, that's my new favorite intercection...'specially 'cause it goes flat and buckles into a downward hill so you can go flying off it for a pretty cool jump.

i passed out after dinner (bacon burgers!!!) and told liu and duke i might go to poker later 'cause i needed a nap. austin got me up at nine thirty (hour and a half) asking if i wanted to get up 'cause he was leaving, but eric's still all pissy at me for a reason he still hasn't told me (i could fathom a guess) and i was more comfortable on my couch than dealing with him anyway, so i opted not to go to poker tonight and stayed in. austin came back and we started dream warriors and we've gone the full blob circle...how nice. i feel like i'm writing an essay and i just made a great link back to the beginning, tying the whole big useless blob together! i hate writing. give me math or give me death.

oh, i almost forgot, dream warriors opened with a quote by Poe:

Sleep.
Those little slices of death.
How i loathe them.

i'm....speechless.....
