Cellar Door
So I just watched Donnie Darko for the first time.
It wasn't as strange as I thought it would be, but that's because everyone says it is very weird - so I was prepared. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I really liked Donnie, actually cared about him. Generally in movies with 'tragic' characters like him I get annoyed and just want them to grow up and pull themselves together. I also liked Gretchen (sp?) so rather wished they would grow up and live happily ever after. The ending made me cry.
Having seen it once and being really bad at working things out: slightly suspicious that Frank always appeared after Donnie had taken his medication. I found the first hypnosis treatment very amusing. And what exactly was it all about? it just occurred to me, if time hadn't travelled back, would Donnie's mum and sister have died?
But moving away from the evil bunny. I had 4 immunisations for Vietnam today. Two in each arm. The Travel Doctor lady was so off putting. "If you get this you will get permanent brain damage, the injection doesn't protect a hundred percent" "rabies is universally fatal if untreated, have this needle and you'll only need two needles if you're bitten". My mother (the nurse) was very unconvinced and unimpressed by how ridiculously expensive the whole thing was.
I also went to talk to Jaffa, he walked up to me and smelt me up and down and let me pat him on his nose, which he never normally does. He went well in his lesson today, and I was so happy :) I don't mind if the girl doesn't buy him, I just don't want him to disgrace himself. I imagine this is a similar feeling to sending your child of to kindergarten.
