Saw Monster last night. It's a good good movie, though as we all noted, not exactly an uplifting film. Charlize Theron totally deserves the best actress Oscar. And while yes, her physical transformation was pretty amazing (though, in a shot of her naked, we all agreed that the pounds she "packed on" made her look like any one of us!) she really did embody that character. There's some pretty horrific violence though, which made it not the best movie to see right before bed.

S. dropped me off, and I went bounding through the snow on the patio to unlock my door. Unfortunately, my speed, the snow, and the high heeled boots I was wearing were not a good combo. I went face first, and banged the crap out of my knee. I knew immediately that it wasn't going to be just a little bruise, so I grabbed the ice pack before I got myself upstairs, one stair at a time. I iced it for a while before I finally went to sleep, but it's super stiff this morning, not to mention swollen. I can put weight on the leg, which leads me to believe nothing's broken, but lifting it up beyond a certain point causes a sharp shooting pain in my kneecap. Hmmmmm...I am the person who walked on an ankle broken in 3 places for a whole school day before going to the doctor. Maybe if it's still majorly swollen tomorrow, I'll go get it checked out. It's definitely going to be a few days before I wear any more heels, or do anything strenuous with it.
