Untraceable

So my movie outing was good. There were more people there than I imagined would be. There were many previews which I enjoy. Our small town has gone to digital movies, so you no longer hear the film in the background. I kind of miss that.

The movie hasn't been getting the best of reviews, but I enjoyed it. It had a few silly moments in it, and it was kind of gross but I had a good time. I did feel a little gross afterward, considering the concept. I tend to be a little naive about what's on the Internet , I want to believe that there are only good things. This movie talked about a lot of the bad, and the potential for what could be on there next. I know there is disturbing stuff on the Internet. I watched A Mighty Heart the other day, and afterwards I knew the possibility existed that I could watch his death on the Internet. I contemplated this for several minutes, and ultimately decided that I would not watch it. I think it's natural to be curious, but to take it beyond that is another thing. I also didn't want to support it, and I felt if I watched I would be supporting the terrorists. It also makes me scared about what my kids might have seen on the Internet. I'm pretty good about watching where they go, and the computer is kept in a central location, but it's still scary.

I like Diane Lane, I saw her talk about this movie on the Today show, she had really short hair. I prefer her with longer hair, like in the movie, as if she's going to listen to me. She's a good actress though.

Our family watched a German movie called The Tunnel (Tunnel, Der http://imdb.com/title/tt0251447/ ) It was wonderful to hear German again. I ended up being exhausted from the events early in the evening, and missed the end of it. Omar really enjoyed it though, which says a lot since it was a drama, and they don't usually hold his attention as well.

We are having some trouble with one of our children, that is impacting the whole family. It came to a head last night, and the issue was confronted. I'm not sure what's going to happen with it. We could use your prayers or positive thoughts. I don't know what we are going to do. I went to sleep wishing I could hear from my father. A few years ago I would have never imagined myself thinking that, but there I was lying in bed, hoping he would call tomorrow and take us out to dinner. Sure enough he did. He asked if I could sew a button on for him. He arrived a half our early, bringing a trunk full of groceries. He has done that for the past few weeks, arrive unexpectedly bearing food. I feel like I finally have dad. Not because of the groceries, but just him being around and saying nice things. It's different. It actually gives me a bit of anxiety, I can feel it in my hand, like when I was fourteen and having panic attacks. I don't know if it's because I'm scared that it's too good to be true, or I'm just not used to it. There's been a lot going on to be anxious about though, so it could be many things. The wonderful thing is I have a dad, who loves me, and I can feel that now.

I found out that he's pretty spiritual today. We talked about being psychic...he even talked about an article he read about seeing spirits. He said that he's been having that happen to him a lot the past year. He believes it is either my mom, or his mother. I never knew he believed in that. It's kind of cool, that we could actually talk about that together. It was cool to sew his button on too.
