Sci Fi and Horror flicks

When I was younger I used to stay up all night watching the Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. I made a list of my favorite Twilight Zone movies

The Once and Future King
An Elvis Presley impersonator travels back in time to meet "The King".

The Eye of the Beholder
A young woman undergoes "experimental treatments" in an attempt to make her appear "normal".

Time Enough At Last
A bank teller, Henry Bemis, longs for time alone to read books. He gets his wish...

Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
Mr. Wilson believes he sees a gremlin on the wing of his commercial aircraft.

Night Call
Mysterious phone calls haunt a disabled woman.

I was thinking of rewatching Twilight Zone this weekend along Vertigo. But I also want to re-watch Memento and The Machinist... So many movies... so little time.

"You Fit Into Me"

You fit into me
like a hook into an eye

a fish hook
an open eye

--Margaret Atwood

I first came across this poem back in college in a Creative Writing class. The timing was just perfect as my highschool sweetheart of two years had just broken up with me. The pain was excruciating as described in this poem. It has taken me years to find this poem because I thought it was written by Emily Dickinson. Coincidentially, I had a dream about him last night - replaying the night he broke up with me... kind of eerie...
