I feel wired.

Yesterday I watched a film called Murder Party.




I ordered it quite randomly not knowing the full deal...just a short synopsis. I'm posting this because what I ended up watching was a brilliant film that was far, far, far better than i was expecting.

the back of the case describes it was "Napoleon Dynamite meets the Texas Chainsaw Massacre!" which isn't exactly accurate, but it does mix humor and gore pretty perfectly. A lot of movies fail at that.

Basically it's about a lonely guy who, on his way home from the video store on Halooween night finds a mysterious invitation to a "murder party" which he thinks is a clever name for a haloween bash.

So he goes home and mulls it over a bit before making a suit of armor out of cardboard (the brown knight) he also bakes pumpkin bread to bring along.

When he gets to this warehouse he finds a bunch of pretentious arty fucks who want to kill him for the sake of "art" to get a grant from this other pretentious fuck who shows up later.

Needless to say hilarity and blood soon follow.

It proves not all low budget films have to blow. I was pretty blown away by the quality of the entire thing. If you're a fan of the genre (I guess horror/comedy...?) you probably will too.

None of you will watch it, but you should.

also, the DVD extras are just as hilarious as the film including said pumpkin bread recipe and a "how to make your own brown knight costume" video segment.

shit fucks.

Dear movie companies,

I am fine with you including trailers on the DVD's you produce. In fact, I enjoy movie trailers a great deal.

But for the love of Christ when I press the MENU button on my remote I expect to be taken to the MENU and NOT a fucking BMW advertisement which you try and tell me I can't skip.

It's bad enough we've all got to pay jacked up prices for movie tickets and sit through CAR COMMERCIALS before the previews, but it's absolute bollocks to do this shit to me on a DVD I just paid $25 for.

So fuck you.

And fuck you as well BMW.

But enough about my man crush on Geoff.

How about I talk about hockey?

I know none of my friends (so everyone who reads this) care about hockey, but the Oilers as of late have been outstanding.

Last month everyone had already counted them out of a playoff spot and now, after winning 11 of their last 13 or something, they are right back in it.

Still behind, but there's a big game tonight that could put them only one point out of the final playoff spot.

They have been playing some of the best hockey I've seen all season. It makes me wonder why it took them so long to turn off the suck.

It's still a long shot since they have to win nearly every game they have left or hope for other teams to lose, but the point is, it's just awesome to get to watch meaningful hockey this late in the season, especially after the debacle that was last year.

playoff hockey and really important games have a completely different feel to them and I love it.

In Warcraft news I'm having a hard time gaining my last two levels. It just takes so fucking long.

And then there are Trevor and Tracy who i swear to god level up every time they play. You guys are pretty hardcore.

Also Geoff, if you don't yet have your super fast horse we should all help you get it. I was under the impression that it was a simple quest for a paladin, am I wrong?

I probably am, the warlock one was shit. sure it's "free" but you still have to find/buy all this shit to turn in so it really isn't free at all.

anyway we should all play tonight or tomorrow and kill shit together.

man-pat gooooo!

Dear Geoff,

I'm glad you're the type of person who still recognizes silence as something meaningful. Truly. So many people mistake it for something else all together, and it's a shame.

I pretty much am silence. Silence or real crude jokes that not everyone shakes off as easily as you (and they are meant to be shaken off)

I think there are plenty of things in you that are quite rare, parts I see in myself sometimes. which shocks me. Or used to.

I think that's why I read what you write and so many times have felt so inspired. I'm no writer. Not like you are anyway...and yet you've brought out a lot of ideas from me.

I write purely because I can, but man, sometimes it's all that keeps me from going nuts, so truly, thank you.

Some people won't understand that, but I'm sure you do.

They are pointless, poorly written stories to many but something far more important than I've ever really wanted to talk about.

It's been an honor thus far. I think I can speak for the rest of the guys and say meeting you for real back then was an awesome experience I won't forget.

Real friends are hard to come by for people like me, for many reasons. Reasons I know you understand.

Real friends.

Despite not knowing you as well as some of your other friends probably do, It feels good to know I've found one in you.

-D.

PS. I am coming on to you. Is it working?

Welllllllll,

Last week I was at the doctor, and as I told Stephanie, I was sent for a blood and urine test and I'm quite sure they literally drained litres of blood from me. It was kind of sick. Blood tests and I don't get along. I just sit there and think of other things while they do what they have to.

This week I was back to talk it over with the doc.

Seems I'm all healthy in that regard. I wonder why my legs feel as if they've just run 15KM at full tilt, then. amongst other problems.

So I'm supposed to "sit on it" for a few weeks and see what happens.

Also, I may have a mild case of Colitis, so that's fun. I'm not in any hurry to have anything shoved up my ass just yet, nor is he in a hurry to send me to get it done, so that's also a bit of a wait and see thing. I'll spare you any other details.

Changing gears, you know what's awesome about the Wii?

Light gun games. The long lost arcade favourite. They are awesome because you can just play and shoot shit for 15 minutes at a time.

I got House of the dead 2&3 return the other day and those games are still a shitload of fun despite showing their age. You can't beat $29 for two games in one.

That, along with Ghost Squad and that Resident Evil game are making me want to pick up one of these bad boys because I've read they are much better than the Wii zapper (which I've never used). Only it is impossible to find one right now.

Anyway, time for a bit of WoW and then hockey and then probably bed, or more WoW if any of you guys will be on later.

Can't find my real camera

I finally finished Mass Effect yesterday.

Fucking incredible is what it was.

see ya!
