Haunted

We just saw "An American Haunting." Lame. I am haunted by the thought that we paid good money to be shown the same things over and over. I looked over at my son once during the movie and he pretended to yawn. I did jump at the beginning of the movie, but it became old quickly. Then in the tie-up, the theory was far-fetched, I thought. I was rather surprised that Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek would be associated with this movie, but I guess it is hard to tell a winner from a loser when you are making it.

Have been thinking lately about carting around so much stuff in my life. What is the reason for "needing" so much stuff.? Does it really provide satisfaction in my life? The argument that one has paid good money for something does not stand up as a reason for holding on to it. The other argument that it would not be easy to replace also does not make sense unless it is something that is sentimental, loved, or really necessary. I have collected so many things for projects that only make me feel guilty that I haven't completed them. It is also interesting that I come to all these conclusions when I am away from home and all my stuff that tends to fog my judgment and clutters up my brain.
