Night Shyamalan DVD box which includes Sixth Sense, the Signs, and Unbreakable. Today I found the uncut Stand (!!!!!!!!) at a bookstore while I went to buy Dan Brown&#8217;s <i>Angels and Demons<\/i> (it was on sale). Alas, both the books are in bad shape (the saleswoman helped me to get the book from the top shelf and said &#8220;I&#8217;ll get the one on the back so it&#8217;ll be in better shape&#8221;. Maybe it is better, but it has a very badly bent corner on the back. Oh well. I don&#8217;t care about the D. Brown book but the bad shape of The Stand bums me a bit (the front leaf is wrinkled and there&#8217;s a little tear on the back). However, it was a miracle I found it &#8212; the last one in stock &#8212; so I&#8217;m just glad I did.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I think I&#8217;ll go get my credit card (or it&#8217;s just plastic, no credit) so I can go a) clothes shopping and b) VHS + DVD-RW shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ve had the most persistent headache. I popped a pill (a mild one, people say it&#8217;s just placebo) ages ago but it&#8217;s still thumping in my head. I feel like I should drill a hole on my temples. I&#8217;ve been reading grammar &#8220;all day&#8221;, I have a little exam tomorrow. Interestingly, I&#8217;ve even learnt something new.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I bought the M.
