Shutter Island n Stuff

In the spirit of full disclosure, I must tell you- Just as in grade school... I was not wearing green panties yesterday for St. Patty's Day. Ha!

Had a PT session yesterday that temporarily reduced the unbearable swelling in my knee by at least 50%. Awesome! I will have an MRI this morning. They asked if I was claustrophobic. I can be, but I've had MRIs before, and I was okay. Surely they don't have to put me all the way into that thing for a knee image though. Hmm. We shall see.

Lauren and I saw Shutter Island last night. It's two and a half hours. The first two hours are the longest "laying of groundwork for a great ending" that I've ever seen. So when we left, I didn't feel at all like I had wasted 2.5 hours, but it sure would have been nice to get there in more like 1.5. There is one scene where Leo keeps lighting match after match to see in a hallway teeming with light fixtures. Gah. And some of the initial plot-laying is Scorsese symbolism and melodrama, where I just think, Interesting. Now let's move along with the story! Worth a watch, just for the very cool ending.
