I went to see Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter today.  It was better than I expected it to be.  The reviews were pretty dismal, so I was expecting something terrible.  It was campy, but I expected that and so found it charming.  I’m not sure it deserved the “R” rating, though.  I was disappointed by how tame it was.  I wanted more blood and violence.

Maybe that was just me?

I’ve been itching to get drunk, but alcohol gives me migraines and it has a lot of calories.  My sister says that the reaction I have to alcohol is the same as everyone else, and I’m just exaggerating or too weak to handle it.  I beg to differ.  The splitting headache, sensitivity to light, and extreme nausea I experience after small amounts of alcohol seems like it would prevent people from drinking, ever.  I know I have an above-average tolerance for pain.  I do not appreciate having it impugned. 

As for the calories, well, I’m on a “lifestyle change” after all.

Drugs would be better.  No calories.  I don’t know about the migraines though.

Also, I am taking two medications that explicitly state, “Do not consume alcoholic beverages while taking this medication.”  I could take a non-European-American approach to understanding that phrase, and just not take my medicine while drinking, but I don’t think my doctor would be amused when I ended up in a coma or something.

Which is unlikely.

My cats are so cute.  I should go cuddle with them.  And maybe sleep, since it’s after 2 now.
