Movies, books and whatnot

This is really funny. Trust me, you want to watch it. Even if you don't, it's only a minute and twenty seconds long.

By the time I went to the doctor this morning, I couldn't even feel my weird lump on my jaw. So I didn't even mention it. But I did mention how my back hurts every morning when I wake up. Sometimes it hurts so much that it wakes me up in the middle of the night. So he gave me some exercises to do and said if it doesn't get better within 6 weeks to come back. Also he gave me a bunch of samples of Imitrex, which is awesome.

I saw Catch and Release with Jennie Saturday night. It was strange and not really in a good way. Shannon and I went to see Harry Potter yesterday. I really liked it. It's been so long since I read that book that I had completely forgotten about an important event. Yes, I read the books, but no, I am not such a nerd that I read spoilers about them or stood in line to buy the book or anything. In fact, three days after the seventh one came out, I still haven't bought it. Whatever. I did just finish a book that Mark lent to me-Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith. I am now going to pass it on to my father, since all the Benzes so enjoyed Jon Krakauer's other book that we passed around the family. It's a really good read, so if you're not a Benz and so were not privy to our book-sharing, pick it up at a store or at a library if you're cheap. I don't mountain climb, but I appreciate a well-told, well-researched story. Dave just purchased another John Krakauer book that he promises to pass around. Anyway, I totally learned three new words while reading Under the Banner of Heaven. That was exciting for me. I'd tell you what they are, but you likely don't care. Fine, I'm doing it anyway. Concomitant. Neologism. Epistemological. This now concludes the learning portion of the post. Unless you already knew those words, in which case you're better than I am and I won't try to teach you anything again. I seem to have gone a little crazy with the links today.
