Gave myself a firm talking-to this week, also, film review!

I've been drinking way too much since Pepper died and it's time to stop. It's a way of hiding from the truth. So, I'm going to stop the denial and actually grieve. I don't take my emotional responses seriously enough to make room for them in my always-busy schedule. But, my closest companion of 12 years is gone and I just have to face it. No more hiding.

In other news, I thought the film adaptation of the graphic novel 30 Days of Night was quite good, and the changes to the storyline made it more character-centered and a stronger film. I never paid that much attention to Josh Hartnett as an actor, but he transformed, and transformed my opinion of him, during this film.
