I watched Nightwatch last week. It's a crazy Russian movie about the uneasy truce between the creatures of Light and Dark and the inevitable war that erupts. And the cause of this war? A woman who had been cursed so that every possible bad thing that could happen did happen to her and those around her. She said hi to her neighbor in the morning? That neighbor's dog was dead by the afternoon.

So, I'm watching this movie and thinking this sounds familiar. Then I read your post today. Have you noticed a huge cloud of crows circling your house? Because seriously. Your situation is enough to make an avowed non-believer think twice.
