fish and frights

So today was Jason's birthday....6-6-06 (what a lucky boy :b - at least his name isn't Damien) I took him out for Fish Fry (yup on a Tuesday) at a restaurant called "Joey's Seafood and Grill," and let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS! Ok, so this fish fry was ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT, and normally places bring out dinky plates with small portions of food, where most people don't ask for seconds. Well, at Joey's, we got four HUGE deep fried pieces of fish on top of a large plate of fries. I was so hungry I ate three. For dessert, we had apple crisp. Delicious as well :) I was very impressed with this new restaurant... definitely a place to try if you're a seafood fan (ie you like Red Lobster - it's better, but there's no biscuits)

Anyways, after the super filling dinner, we went to a movie. And what better movie to go to today than the remake of
THE OMEN. I'm not a huge fan of scary movies (and let me tell you, I'll probably have nightmares tonight), but it was very well done, kept everyone's attention, and definitely threw in scares unexpectedly. And it wasn't super gorey, which was also appealing to me, because all that blood and guts makes me want to vomit (but what is a scary movie without some blood). But now, whenever I close my eyes, I see that damn Damien. I think it might have successfully scarred me like The Ring did... yup I can still picture that stupid little girl crawling out of the tv.... and the clip in the movie of that tree - there's one on the way to my friend's house back home, and everytime I see it (specially when the sun is setting) I still get the willies...

Do you have any movies that random things remind you of them, and you still get the chills?

I might not even be able to watch HP3 without getting a bit freaked because Professor Lupin is also a character in THE OMEN. Grrr! Now onto reading HP6 to get my mind off that movie... might even be sleeping with the lights on!

Glad that you had a good time. Nothing wrong with a film making you a little freaked out for you. I can't think of the last really solid scary movie I have seen, maybe "The Ring"

Happy bday to Damien. . .I mean Jason.

I avoid scary movies at all costs. I'm way too easily freaked out! I once thought the city employee coming to adjust my water meter was actually part of an elaborate scheme to rape, kill, and mutilate me.

So blogger was down yesterday and I didn't get to post but that Damien thing is hilarious... I always thought there was something suspicious about Jasons red eyes and those numbers on his forehead...

As for scary movies...not for me. Even Harry Potter was a little scary for me. I am a huge wimp!
