Went to go see Wanted last night, which was actually extremely enjoyable (and had a better plot than I expected, frankly). The trailers make it seem like gun-kata, but I actually think "car-kata" occurs more often... amazing stuntwork. And the scene near the end of James McAvoy tearing through the factory is worth the price of admission all by itself.

However, on the way home I experienced the worst bout of acid reflux I think I've ever had, and had to pull over for a moment to get the taste of bile out of my mouth. Unfortunately once my body had the idea, it sort of... ran with it, and I've been up and down all night trying to get comfortable. Food still sounds 100% unappealing to me, so I'm going to go try to get as little work done as possible this morning and then crash back out, hopefully.

I also think hearing Morgan Freeman swear like that was worth the price of admission as well.

As far as movies go, it was definitely worth the price of admission. It was 'I will tell me kids I saw it' great or anything, but certainly worth an evening out and $17 in admission.

The first time was funny. The second was a little silly, but we LOL'ed anyway.

here is the secret: 1 T. baking soda in one cup of water. stir and drink (you make have to stir often to keep from settling on bottom). this will cause burbing (which is good). Get as much down as you can (the more the better if its really a bad case). I promise it will work.

it works (and you can look at box of A&H baking soda for anti-acid recipes) - but here is the catch - very high in aluminum. So, if taking any other meds, esp anti-acids, (and many vitamins) - double check cross-sensitivity!

Are you asking for a sympathy panic attack?
I could have a panic attack (starting to think about living situation "crap" today). I'm near one in moments.

No, it's a reference to the film - you'll get it when you see it. :)

I would prefer a net decrease in the number of panic attacks in the metro, actually...

I refuse to watch the movie on the grounds it has as much in common with the graphic novel it was based on as Sex and the City: The Movie had with The Great Gatsby.

Yeah, I saw a bit of how the comic was organized (via PopCultureWikiPedia, and while it probably never would have flown as a feature film, it might have been even cooler.
