Another bloody Monday. Do they never run out? Maybe some day we will have used up all the Mondays and the week will suddenly start with a Tuesday. It could happen. When I'm king I will make it so.

Nothing much happened today. Apart from walking around in a sleepy haze. After work I stopped in at the gas station and rented a couple of movies. The Others and Three To Tango. So I went home and watched those. Beats doing stuff.
stuff sucks
The Others was a fairly predictable story. But Nicole Kidman is good and it was quite atmospheric. One of those movies when you aren't sure if it's boring or it's atmosphere for a while. I liked the end though. Not completely surprising but still, no one had told me the twist before I watched it so it worked a lot better than the Sixth Sense.
And <spoiler>it was nice to see a ghost story from the ghost's point of view*</spoiler>.
Three To Tango was a very, very predictable romantic comedy. Corny and sappy and stupid. As I was watching it I was thinking of how I would write in plume that it sucked a lot. But then towards the end I realized that I don't mind corny, sappy, predictable romantic comedies. As long as Meg Ryan is nowhere to be seen. I have a thing for Neve Campbell. And I'm emotionally easy. The whole "no emotion in real life - cry me a river from any old boring movie" thing. So when Chandler (yeah, not Matthew Perry. Chandler.) got up to accept his Gay Man of the Year award and admitted he wasn't gay and all the people got up and applauded his honesty... well that was when I realized that I kind of liked the movie. Despite it being stupid, sappy and predictable. I have failed as a movie critic yet again.

Speaking of horror stories and stupid plots. My brother will be home in two weeks. For christmas holidays. A week before my holidays begin. Sigh. I'm going to put on some Counting Crows. It's going to be a long December. But at least I can sleep most of it away.

And the christmas calendar candle is alight again.

Reminds me of two young brothers fascinated with the christmas tradition and the fire. A long time ago. It needs to snow soon.

If you are a smashing pumpkins fan check out this. Jesus loves his babies yeah.

Billy... Billy... pick up the phone, Billy. I know you're home. It's Jesus. I'm very angry with you. I'm going to punish you, Billy. Ah hah hah hah hah hah! I'm going to punish you Billy. Can you hear me, Billy? Are you listening? I hope you're listening, Bil-ly.

It must be years ago I first read that. I always wanted to hear it. But I'm not leet. So it took years. Worth the wait. Heehee.

And that's it. Goodnight, goodbye and god speed.
