Went to a surprise party of my 80 year-old grandaunt. I wasn't sure if that was a good idea, but she made it through OK. Had lots of good food, finally played 'Kingdom Hearts' (which I just might buy) on Melanie's playstation (one of her massive collection of 4 playstation games). Also watch Memento for the 50th time, but that's ok, because the movie is the story of my life, so every time I watch it, it's like watching it for the first time because I don't remember.

Later, we went to go see 'The Ring'. It's basically a movie about this videotape that after people watch it, seven days go by and they die. Naomi Watts watches it, and she's trying to find out why the tape was made, the secret behind it, and how she can stop it from killing her. Haven't been that spooked by a movie in a long time. And it was great to see it in the theater, because there's something comforting knowing that you're not the only one screaming. Or whimpering. There was a lot of scary imagery, and it's a great movie with a lot of jump-outta-your-seat parts. And more than once I said something like 'No! Don't open the door!' I also found the shape of the straw in my Coke very interesting during the 'scary music something is going to pop out so I don't want to look at the screen' parts. A lot of good ole' Halloween season fun with that one. I definitely suggest you go see it. But then again, afterwards I was freaked out and I don't want to ever watch another videotape again. Creepy!
