Books

I just finished an utterly fantastic book.

“Every sigh, the end: A novel. About zombies”

It is perhaps one of the saddest, angriest things I have ever read. From the main character and his distaste for everything and everyone in his life to the utter hopelessness you feel while reading it.

It’s also brilliant for those same reasons. It’s moody and terrifying…and it has zombies in it. But it’s so much more. Government conspiracies, reality TV shows, some sort of time travel and Astral projection are all weaved into the plot and it’s incredible to see it all unfold.

One of the best books I’ve ever read for more reasons than the fact that I am a zombie/horror fanatic. Highly recommended.

It makes me want to read more books, but I find them to be risky, often I'll try my best to get into them, to like them, but it's all just an act because they don't do much for me. Every now and then, though, I find a book I really love.

Edit: oops, I forgot, I'm on to this one:

"that girl dancing in the blood is going to haunt my dreams"

WELL,

I just saw Silent Hill with Sir Trevor of Sunnyside.

It was a video game film that didn't suck and I am pretty surprised by that. My experience with the game is pretty limited, but I've played enough of them to know how disturbing they are, and the film is loaded with those same sorts of images, mood and overall atmosphere.

Also brilliant Camera work at times. Giving you a disorienting view really adds to the creepiness.

Best part: (spoiler, if you care) was watching Pyramid head rip the skin right off of some girl before tossing her corpse away like a piece of trash.

Now THAT, is a flaying.

Brilliant.

Certainly not a perfect film, but pretty damn cool and creepy and worth seeing for sure.

Also got to see a preview for A scanner darkly, which I've been keeping my eyes on for a while. It looks fucking awesome.

mmmmm, movies.

I'll cut your face

I guess it's been a while since I wrote something. Here are some random thoughts/observations:

- I've been very tempted to get a haircut lately. It's getting pretty annoying, but then I think about how I always regret it because real short hair is just...Not my thing. But if I'm going to bother to go get it cut, I go all the way.

- I got a Virtual Boy a few days ago. Sort of by accident, because I placed a low (but higher than all the others) bid on ebay...And strangely ended up winning. I was just trying to be a cunt and make other people pay more, but I won, so that's cool.

Sure, it was a commercial failure, but it's a collector's item as far as games go, and it's actually pretty cool...But playing for more than 3 minutes makes my retinas bleed. You sort of get used to it and eventually your eyes go all wonky. Brilliant

- I don't get why EVERYBODY likes the song "Sweet Home Alabama" I fucking hate it and it's annoying as fuck. So overplayed and overrated. Maybe if I was a toothless yokel I'd get it? I dunno. Fuck Skynyrd.

- Perogies are fucking delicious. My Grandma dropped some off the other day and they are all I've eaten since. The food of the gods, I tell you.

I guess that's all for now, kids.

PS. Blogger you fucking suck. Sit there on the "publishing" page another fucking six hours. You fucking idiots.

Easter.

When I got out of work this morning it was raining a decent amount. By the time I got home it had turned to freezing rain and the ground was pretty slushy.

I went inside, did some stuff and forgot about it all for a while but I glanced out the window a few minutes ago and saw this:




All that grass was completely clear of the white stuff just a few hours ago.

What's hard to see is exactly how much it is snowing. It's the heavy fluffy snow and it's absolutely pouring down still.

Sure it's now that crazy, and I bet it will be gone by the end of the day, or a few days at most, but it's still cool. I like having snow without the bitter coldness. It's beautiful.

In other news my trouble sleeping continues to plague me.
Do you ever lay down and bed and think to yourself that your pillows feel like stones? That's how I've been feeling and it's frustrating as hell, it's like I'm laying on metal operating table with two rocks as my pillows.

And before you say anything, no, I don't need a new bed. The problem feels very mental to me.

Oh well. I'll ride 'er out and eventually I'll collapse and everything will be back to normal I'm sure. That's just how it is sometimes.

Kids,

I've been thinking about life.

I find it quite odd that all I do is work, sleep and this. I'm the type of fellow that could be described as anti-social.

I really don't ever feel the need to surround myself with other people or to go places. Some people might see that as a problem.

I mean I've tried it before. I've never been a social butterfly, but I've certainly put myself out there a few times, and it's never quite worked out.

I don't know. I guess in a way I'm extremely independent, you know how people sometimes feel lonely?

I never do. I never really have. I'm not even exaggerating, I don't quite know how it feels to be lonely, and yet by definition, I should/could be the loneliest person alive (well, no, but you know what I'm saying)

I've never really craved attention, or closeness to/from other people. Perhaps that's why I'm so shy/lack self esteem? I'm not sure.

And yet...I've had the closeness and attention, and I enjoyed it at the time...I just don't seek it out, I guess.

All I know is that I live life and do my thing which is usually nothing of importance or consequence to anybody else. Sounds depressing, and I guess it is sometimes, but today I was thinking about it, and I really don't care.

90% of the time I'd rather stay home and sleep than do anything else in the world. I love my friends and I love my family, but sometimes it just doesn't matter. I feel the need to disappear far too often.

I think I'd let the world pass me by entirely if it were at all possible. I wonder just how fucked up that is.

it's a kansas city shuffle

I saw Lucky number Slevin with Comrade Trevor tonight.

I was pretty impressed with it. It's a gangster/comedy/mystery movie all in one. Tons of twists and turns and all that jive.

Mostly I just enjoyed it because I was entertained the entire way through, and that's all I ask of my films.

Bruce Willis is an awesome badass assassin. Seriously the looks on his face in all the scenes are pure gold. He's great.

This is also the first movie I've seen where I didn't fucking hate Josh Hartnett. It's amazing, apparently he CAN act. Incredible.

Anyway, good movie, good killing, good story. Worth the money.

I was going to follow up this post with some hot nudes of the girls below but apparently a certain American girl I know doesn't like to look at that sort of thing.

BOOOOOOO!!!

blogging is easy.

I have nothing to say to the likes you YOU.

so here is a picture of two hot girls in short shorts groping each other.



That is what dreams are made of.

PS. there is no actual nudity, you can't touch me, blogger!

Goodnight, kids.

hi guys

Well kids,

I've been feeling better. I did visit the doctor last Tuesday, and was told it looked like my throat was not really in bad shape.

The night before, though, I was having a hard time swallowing because of the pain, it was that bad, so I was surprised.

It's almost entirely gone now, and my eye even looks better. Mostly anyway.

So that's good.

Sleep lately has been crappy. For about a month before this I was sleeping pretty damn good and easily...Now I can feel this is the start of something terrible. I'll be out of my feet within a week, I bet.

Oh well.

In other news I got The Elder Scrolls V: Oblivion for my PC about a week ago. I've been playing it a steady pace, and I can tell ya, it's a cool game. Very addicting in that you can more or less do anything you want in it.

I spent about 2 hours just exploring and raiding random caves full of bandits before I even started the main quest.

You can break into people's houses, steal stuff, kill innocent people and all that madness. I love the freedom it gives you to become whatever you want. So far I've stuck to the good guy role... So far.

It's also gorgeous, as you can see:




I can stare at that water all day, it looks SO WET.




Killing elves is one of my most favourite things to do.

Over and out.
