My Faith In Humanity Is Slipping...

They keep finding more and more missing bodies. Including children.

This is really.really.sick.



I'm Alive!

Sorta.

Thanks for all the well wishes!

I just started a new medication and it's got me feeling very nauseated with a weird buzzing kind of headache, clench-y jaws and profuse sweating. (Sounds like a blast, right?)

I tried just breathing deeply and relaxing. But eventually I had to give in. Or give up. However you want to look at it I suppose.

If you've ever taken any of these types of medicines (the crazy person kind) then you know what I'm talking about. The initial side effects can be near debilitating but then wear off, hopefully leaving you blissfully unaware of the misery and despair all around you.

Heh. I love being all morosely dramatic like that. I'm so goth. :\

Anyhow, so I gave into the nausea and just let it all go. But then it seemed like it would never stop. I mean, I threw up everything. Pam sent me virtual chicken soup and I think I even threw that up. :(

I didn't let the real love she sent me get flushed down the toilet though, don't worry! I still gots it. It's right here. *pointing to my heart* :)

But, yea, I'm feeling a lot better now.

Just in time for my next dose!

Dead Wood - Horror Movie Review


I was lucky enough to get a chance to view a new horror flick that just came out on DVD yesterday!

Dead Wood, from LionsGate Home Entertainment, stars some newcomers - Fergus March, Rebecca Craven, David Bryant and Leighton Wise. It also stars Emily Juniper, John Samuel Worsey, Nina Kwok and Jay Worthy.

Written, produced and directed by a trio of British film makers - David Bryant, Sebastian Smith and Richard Stiles, Dead Wood was winner of Best Digital Effects at the 2007 B-Movie Awards.

You might think that this might result in a 'too many cooks' kind of mess of a movie, but in fact the story transitioned fairly smoothly, and I think they did a great job considering their budget.

I don't want to give away too much and ruin it for you, but I'll disclose this much...

You probably think you've "seen this movie before", considering the plot sounds somewhat old hat - four friends, in the woods, a curious stranger enters the mix, people start disappearing one by one, etc. I defiantly see some Blair Witch inspiration going on, but it certainly turns out to be its very own supernatural thriller in the end. (Don't worry - no shaky camcorder thing going on! Otherwise I'd have turned it right off!)

There is very little in the way of gore in this film, which some people might like. I however LOVE gore, but that's okay. It still got a scare out of me! At least twice I literally jumped, and it takes a lot to scare me!

Honestly, I have to say that it did start off pretty slow. But that also contributed to my building anticipation, so it's not an entirely bad thing. I just have a really short attention span!!

I'm most impressed with the fact that, although this is a low budget film, and technically speaking you can tell, the special effects can be compared to some of the best films out there! That really made up for my needing to be patient to get to the good parts!

Overall, I really enjoyed it!

Check out the trailer!

Random - I'm So Sick Of That Word!!

I swear to you, it's all my kids ever say. Random this. Random that. I mean, like, fer sure!

So, check this b**ch out! She cut me off at McD's this morning!!

They have a dual lane drive-thru at this McD's. The car on the left orders, then the car on the right. The car on the left moves up, then the car on the right.

Obviously this is too complex for her to understand. Because she totally just pulled up into my spot.




Srsly, not good considering I'm waiting in line for my first cup 'o caffeine of the day! And you know what, she didn't even care. No "Oops, my bad!" wave or anything. She's officially on my list.

I totally didn't mean to take this picture. I was trying to get shots of some cool antiques they have at my post office. But, heeeeey to the handsome postal man working there!


The little girl looks like a future women's prison inmate if you ask me. This is not based totally off the picture - you should have seen how she acted! Her brother (granted he was being a pain in the butt) was teasing her by holding something (couldn't tell what it was) just out of her reach. So, she promptly decided to smack him across the face, and then took a handful of his cheek in her little grip and practically tried to rip his face off. The mom told them, "Cut it out!", and then ignored them. I really thought the post office floor might have ended up covered in blood had they not left when they did.

On the way home we found ANOTHER tree with a face! They're everywhere!!



And here's a little something to always remember...


Okay, that's quite enough randomness for one day!

Need to ramble on incessantly for no real reason?
