Welcome to the jungle. There will be no monkeying around.

I'm still tired. Trying to get used to the new plan. Still craving naps. I love sleeping. To sleep is to live. In dreams. But so far I'm still being brave. Taking walks instead of naps. Go me.

What did I do today that I did? I rented DVDs I did. I rented the Amazing Hulk. No, the Fantastic Hulk. No, the Interesting Hulk. No, really it's the Incredible Hulk. Although I think the movie is just called The Hulk. I wonder if I could get a name like that? I'd like that. "Hi my name is Roger". "Hello, I'm the Brilliant Plume". Yes, I like the sound of that. Also I rented Matrix Reloaded.

Cheap entertainment with expensive effects. Both of them were quite long. Half an hour into the Hulk I was starting to think things like "when do we get to the smashy smashy?". You know me. All action no talk. Actually I'm not a big fan of action scenes, so obviously I chose the two perfect movies, ne?

I rented them at the Shell station next to the Barn. The lady asked me if I had watched the Hulk before. I told her I hadn't. She said it was quite good, it had pleasantly surprised her. That might not sound like a lot but it's probably the longest conversation I have had with a stranger in months. Little things like that are nice. I rarely speak unless spoken too. It's always a little special when people take the time to talk to me anyway. I mean I can't blame people for ignoring me when my whole demeanor invites it. So my point: be nice to your fellow humans, they probably appreciate it more than you know.

What did I think of the Dvdoos then? The Matrix Reloaded was spectacular as expected. Visually. Fascinating still. The problem is that it has been a long long time since I watched the first one. So I spent most of Reloaded trying to remember the plot of the original one. Oh well. And as I said, action doesn't always tickle me. When you have seen one slowmotion fight in midair you have seen them all. It's not like I was looking at my watch and wishing they would do fastmotion, but still. I like the architect. And the oracle. The talky bits were interesting, even though those are the bits everyone else hate I gather.

The Hulk was big. Haha. I have always liked him. Big green monsters, who doesn't like them? I have never been a huge fan though, never read many of the comics or seen the telly things. So it's still somewhat fresh to me. My fondest memory of the Hulk is a text-only adventure game on my old Commodore 64. Level 9 I think? Those were the days. Anyway, I liked the style of the movie. The way they tried to bring the comic strip with panels into movie format. It worked for me. And Hulk was big and bad like he should be. Jennifer Connelly is very pretty. And Nick Nolte has the best hoarse voice ever. So it was good fun I guess.

The part where Hulk is jumping reminded me of dreams I used to have. I would be high up in the air. And I'd fall down. But I wouldn't land or crash. I'd simply bounce/jump and get back up in the air. And I would keep jumping and falling like that. It was pretty stressful because everytime I fell it was like jumping off a roof or something.

In many ways I am much like the Hulk. You don't want to see me get angry. You really don't. I'll do anything. I'll look at you angrily. And mumble obscenities. I'm like an animal when I'm mad.

That was my dvd day. In other news: my dad might be getting a job. Since he came home from Greenland he hasn't been doing anything. But now he says he's almost sure he'll get a fulltime teaching position. From Monday. That would be great. For him too I guess. Hehe. It would just be perfect to get him out of the house a little. He could go to bed early. I could get some alone time once in a while again. Perfect. I really, really hope he'll get it.

I bet he won't though.

And then I'll get angry.

And you know what that means...

I might get angry over the banner vote too. I think it's time to admit defeat even though there are two weeks left. Congratulations to loopyboi who has more votes than breakthedark and I put together. Now that's a humiliating defeat waiting to happen. *mumbles obscenities*.

Alritey then. I'll win the next one. I'll bring out the porn banners. That'll show them.

Nite nite, don't let the big green monsters or the machines bite.
