 Well I decided not to go to Akon this weekend.  The main reason I didn't go is because my friend ended up having to work, and I just didn't want to spend the money only to go by myself.  Going to any sort of convention alone is a real drag.  I went alone one year and I was absolutely miserable.  That said since I had today off anyway I just decided to spend most of the day doing a few things around the house, and watch some movies.  Some of the movies were good, and some had crappy endings.  

I watched a few movies with Amber Heard in them.  I'll never understand why people spew such vitriol against domestic violence victims.  I get people love Johnny Depp or whatever, but that shouldn't cloud anyone's judgement about how he treats his wife.  He's more than capable of being a violent asshole, and has a history of being violent.  Either way I'm rooting for Amber Heard because she's pretty brave to speak out about the abuse despite being bashed by the public.  The only thing people seem to see is that he's Johnny Depp and he couldn't possibly do something like that.  I guess it shatter's their perfect/idol image of them and they can't come to grips with it.  I usually believe the victim in these cases.  I've been seeing so many misogynistic comments about her on social media it makes me sick.  I've never been a fan of Johnny Depp anyway, and I guess that's why I'm not shocked or surprised at all about any of this.

The movies I watched or re-watched were:

• Jennifer's Body (I love this movie sfm!)
• All The Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006)
• And Soon The Darkness (2010)
• Circle (2015)

I've also been listening to some new music.  I got the new Katatonia album, and I got my vinyl/CD version of the new Lacuna Coil album.  I also listened to the new Thrice album which is pretty awesome.  I really dig all the songs including this one.  I really love that song off their new album.  I remember listening to "The Illusion of Safety", and now to the new album and thinking their sound matured so much over the years. I have to go to work tomorrow, and Monday (boo overtime D:)  So I'm going to go do some reading or watch dvds.
