Today was really warm and I was sick of the waiting for something to happen and I couldn't sit around any more. I took a bus into town because Alice in Videoland said their shop would be open. I love that place. I'm SO glad the building was declared safe... So I travelled into the city with a bus driver who told me all about his quake experience. He was awesome! The Bus Exchange had been opened an hour before I got there which pleased me.
I was surprised that most of the city is still standing. There are a lot of structurally unsafe buildings, but I only saw two which had crumbled completely. On my way home I took a detour through the Sydenham Cemetery though, and it suffered. A much of monuments are lying down flat or broken into pieces. They entire place is cordoned off except for the main road through it. So heartbreaking.
On a random note, the shops have plantains and I am excited because I can make some of my Mexican recipes, yay!
Still paranoid, but at least I slept through the night last night. Awesome. It won't help that I just rented a bunch of horror movies... But OH OH Alice's had The House of Frankenstein on DVD!! I AM SO IMPRESSED! Random, old horror movies that suck FTW!!! And they were selling a used copy of Danny Bhoy for 8 bucks so I got that as well. The one in Sydney, not the one in Melbourne. This pleases me.

I have never seen that movie, but I am curious now because Frankenstein is like my FAVORITE BOOK EVER! So I kind of tend to like all things related to. Hrmm...a lot like Greek myth and such.

They seem to have a bunch of classic monster movies but nothing from the Giant Bug Oeuvre. I want to see T.H.E.M. again, dammit!
...I love old B-movies. They=my favourites.

Vincent Price, however, is my lover. ;) Well he's not because he's dead, but I can dream!

So is Shakespeare. Lol. But yes, dude his voice alone is awesome. I'm sure if he was alive and making films today he'd still send chills up your spine.

Yes...Shakespeare is also dead. He is not my lover, but I do love him in a platonic 'You're far racier than anyone seems to give you credit for and I like the way you write' way. Vincen't Price's voice...oh man, I would lick it.
