Thing One: I went to an advance preview of The Ring last night, the American adaptation of a Japanese film that has revolutionized the horror industry in Japan. It was, in a word, brilliant. The testament of how well it was done is that I had nightmares last night. I honestly can't remember the last movie that crawled under my skin and gave me nightmares.
Unfortunately, the other thing that was going on last night is that I put my back out. It must have been my walk around Greenlake, but in any case I was up half the night unable to find a comfortable position to lay down. Around 4am I took some muscle relaxants to help, and they definitely knocked me for a loop.
OK, so it was the combination of The Ring and drugs that gave me nightmares.
Anyway, I called in sick today (well, actually -- being a geek I IM'd in sick) and am laying low for the morning. I am chaperoning Ben's class to the swimming pool this afternoon, and thankfully the pool we go to has a therapy pool I can soak in. I expect to spend most of the hour there...
