Today, I ...

- Went to the chiropractor, where he made my neck make horrible crunching noises. And lo! My headache went away! My wonderful chiropractor also showed me some exercises I need to start doing to strengthen my neck and shoulder muscles, so that maybe I won't get these headaches quite as often. Here's hoping.

- Altered my Beetlejuice fitted tee that arrived in the mail yesterday. It now has a scooped neckline with lace trim and B&W striped piping. Whee!

- Finished watching the DVD of Brazil that the StuntHusband loaned me. I had never seen it. Ever. Yes, I know, how the hell did I manage that? Let's just say there are some astonishing gaps in my my movie-watching habits, and leave it at that. Anyway, Brazil. Whoo. I wouldn't say fun, necessarily, but surreal and fascinating.

- Watched the DVD of the Frank Langella version of Dracula (which I had finally gotten around to ordering). I haven't seen it in ages, and had forgotten how swoony and pretty it is. Plus, Frank Langella keeps referring to it as a "gothic romance" in the bonus feature interview. Be still my bombast-craving heart!

- Decided my everyday top hat needed to be refurbished, so I rummaged around and found a length of wide antique black lace and a lot of black ostrich and coque feathers. I'll try to take a photo tomorrow.

- Redid my blood spatter manicure. Now with black smudges, inspired by snowcoma's version. Again, maybe pictures tomorrow.

Also tomorrow: writing, writing, writing. WRITING.

I too had that gap in my movie-watching habits and just saw that movie for the first time a few months ago myself - so you're not alone.

I finally filled another movie-watching gap today: To Wong Foo - Thanks for Everything. It was fun and cheerful.

I have a $5 version of that Dracula movie that I think I found in a Walgreens a couple years ago - so no bonus features but still all the pretty and fun bombast. ;)

Okay so I've found this lovely book (http://www.amazon.ca/Weirdo-Noir-Matt-Dukes-Jordan/dp/081187110X) and I couldn't resist passing on the link. I know you posted the picture of the bat girl before but there is a lot of fun stuff in this book like this. Perhaps a celebratory art book for your newly cracked neck and lack of headache because of it?

:D I'm glad my manicure was inspirational! I'd love to see photos if you get a chance.

Who's your chiropractor, dear lady?

I think the description of the shirt modifications sound *perfect*

could you show us the modified shirt?

my favourite past of that particular Dracula is where Lucy is in the graveyard with professor Van Helsing and the sound of her heart beat becomes the sound of the horse's hooves as the Count gallops up out of the mist! I must have watched it a thousand times!

i also like it when renfield says 'i've been bit by a bat!' and the count replies, 'yes, yes i know'; for some reason that tickles me enormously!

I am terrified of going to the chiro.. which is just silly as both my parents have gone and I work in the medical field *laugh*. I know what great things could happen and make me feel better, but the thought of it, creeps me! Kudos to your for going for your headaches though, I wish I could find something to stop the migraine, spinny, puky thing that has been going on without meds and chiro.
