hanging out
Erin, Estelle, and I hung out at Erin's last night. They filled me in on Erin's new apartment, showing me how she wanted to decorate it. She told me all about how the last tenant trashed the place, leaving the land lady to clean the whole thing. Erin's been helping out, and she's hoping to be able to move in soon.

Of course, she won't be living there full time until after the wedding. Similar to what Michelle and Jim did before their wedding, Jason is going to be living at the apartment while Erin continues to live at home with 'visiting rights'. Then, after the wedding, she's going to move in full time.

the miracle of life
Erin's parakeets are mating like crazy. O.O;; She's got two 3 month old birds, and two more babies with the downy grey feathers in the nesting box. They've very cute. If we didn't have Ivy, I'd consider one. But, I'd want a bird that's hand tamed that I can have sit on my shouder or something. I don't know if I'll have the time in the future to dedicate to something like that.

movie time
Yes, another review...

We had popcorn and stuff, and watched a UK flick called Ghost Rig. I didn't see Ghost Ship, but the cover art was very simliar... only it had the oil rig there instead of the boat. I couldn't help but wonder if they were similar stories. If they are, I know not to see Ghost Ship.

A group of activists move in to save an oil rig that's going to be destroyed. They take up residency on the rig to prevent it from being toppled into the sea. The rig is being closed down because of rumors (rumors that were apparently true) of a quarantine. It turns out that the rig workers opened a dimensional portal and summoned a demon to our world. It takes up residence in a host body, but the host only remains in control of the demon when he's standing inside a circle of runes. Somehow, something got messed up, and the demon unleashes itself among the crew of the rig. It travels from body to body by biting, leaving the former host dead after the transfer. Having taken up living in a rat after the last crew member dies, the demon finds new hosts as the activists board the rig.

Ghost Rig wasn't really all that great. It was a dry movie that couldn't decide if it was an occult arts ghost film or a murder mystery film. While those sometimes can be one and the same, this one wasn't put together very well. It was hard to follow as more people began turning up dead and the ending seemed almost fake or part of another movie.

next
After that, we sat and watched Will & Grace for a bit. I love that show. I took Estelle home then, as it was getting really late (or early? try 4 am).

I've gotta stop these late night stints... I'm so tired in the morning...
