I just found out that one of my friends committed suicide on Thursday. I met her a few years ago on one of the Buffy fanboards, we roomed together in LA for a weekend, and she was really wonderful person–always had the right thing to say when I was down, or any of our friends needed help. She suffered from severe bipolar disorder which played havoc with her moods and self-image…I know she was miserable a lot of the time, but there were so many people who loved her. I really don’t know what to say or do, except pray for her family–she left a husband and a three-year-old son.
- Just rented Lost Odyssey. See if I can get over my dislike of JRPGs. But it's FOUR DISCS. Wow. How many hours of gameplay is that? 8 hrs ago

Just noticed that Herk Harvey’s 1962 cult classic Carnival of Souls is available in its entirety on hulu. Consider this my contribution to any horror-themed October shenanigans. Because I don’t really get into horror-themed October shenanigans that much, although I am going to try to spend some time month catching up on some classic horror I’ve managed to miss. You know, like Night of the Living Dead. As an example. Oh, while we’re on the subject of hulu, they just put up Richard Linklater’s Slacker. I totally would’ve scooped everyone online if I’d posted it when I first saw it this morning, but by the time I got around to it, Slashfilm, SpoutBlog, and Anne Thompson had already beat me. That’ll teach me to procrastinate.

It wasn’t the movie of our dreams. It wasn’t that total film we carried inside ourselves. The film we would have liked to make or, more secretly, no doubt, the film we wanted to live.
