Police + Wristcutters

Friday I was heading home after a late night of working. I was looking forward to making it home and crashing and knowing I didn’t have anywhere to go the next morning – no work, no trips out of town. I get off the bus and go to cross the busy street. I look left and there is a lone car in the dark that sees me and comes to a stop. Turns out it’s a police car. I was reminded of the experience I had last fall. I look right and see the light had just released a bunch of cars. I’m waiting to see if they’ll stop before proceeding and with this sense of déjà vu I’m also half waiting to see if the blue lights come on from the police car to help stop the traffic for me.

I’m just about to step foot on the sidewalk on the other side when I notice the blue lights flashing out of the corner of my eye. I’m confused for a moment until I turn and look and see that this police car took a different approach. There was one car that didn’t stop and I see the police car had pulled a U-turn and has gone after the driver. I kind of feel badly, for being the cause of a potential ticket, especially since I’m not sure if I wouldn’t have done the same if I was driving. He would have slammed the brakes on. Anyways, sorry dude, if you got a ticket because of me.

Last night I was fighting the pattern I’ve had lately: on way home acquire headache, get home feed cats, and crash only to wake up hours later and drag myself into bed. I’ve been so tired recently. It’s really strange. Until I started talking to others. Looks like it probably has something to do with the sudden change in weather. Pressure drop? So last night, I put on an easy meal (cheese fondue – mmm) and pop in the latest Netflix flick.

Note here that I mainly use the streaming part of Netflix these days so my queue for movies to be mailed is from awhile ago. A long while ago. Sometimes movies arrive and I think, “huh” and that I need to get online and review my queue. But I never do. Last night I watch the previews and they’re alll about horror and thrillers. I get a little worried, as I do love myself a good horror film, but have learned to watch it during the day, not at night home alone. The movie is called, Wristcutters: A Love Story. It’s a sweet strange movie set in the afterlife suicide people live in. A little surreal especially when watching while very tired. But I made it to my regular bed time and enjoyed the movie. Still wondering what led me to stumble upon it in the first place.
