Watch this? Yes or No?

It's not very often I get to sit down and watch TV or a movie on a weeknight anymore, so I decided to treat myself to one last night.

I had had the movie Buried for a while, as my usual tradition with netflix is to leave it sitting on the coffee table, tempting me, until I'm absolutely sure that Jesse isn't going to sit down and watch it with me when he's in town for the weekend.

I still don't know if it was a good choice or if I even liked it.   I do know that I couldn't fall asleep last night and woke up around 5:00 this morning still thinking about it.   It was truly disturbing in a "pick at your skin" sort of way.   By that I mean, imagine someone, well not someone, some thing...a tiny little trixie pixie...with horns, and feet so small that they poke into your skin when he steps on you.   And now imagine that pixie taking little bites out of your skin...so small that you can't see them, but you can feel it...and he does this for days...one little tiny bite every 10 minutes.   Just when you think you have relief, there he is again.   For me, that was the movie Buried.   I have never yelled at the TV so much during one movie, tv episode, commercial, whatever.

You can read about it here.  But if you plan to watch it, I wouldn't read the description at the bottom.
