Sick

I've got a bad cold today.

I really need to take better care of myself.

Manhandled

I bought a new keyboard today. It's a sleek little thing that takes up way less space than my previous keyboard. It's just a damn shame I have such large hands.

I better get used to it.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

It's been a while since I've gone to the theatre. Going to the theatre ends up ruining the movie because people talk. Worse, they talk about dumb shit. Worse still, is when people talk aloud just to point out obvious crap. Still, This movie was worth seeing and I ended up having a lot of fun.

"ALVP" is a movie about Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States. He was a self-educated lawyer, statesman and hero who led his country through a terrible civil war nearly tore it apart. He was a great orator who gave memorable speeches that are still studied today, and is a beloved figure in American history. Also, he hunted vampires.

Obviously, the premise was so outrageous, I went in expecting "epic" crap to happen. What I got instead was even better. The movie is played straight- very straight. There's no tongue in cheek stuff and no "Get it!?" *wink* stuff. It is played like it was an actual historic retelling of the life of Abraham Lincoln except that he slew undead in addition to being President. The movie is in your face and insisting that this is really what happened. It's so serious, it's twice as funny.

The first half of the movie feels a bit slow because you're adjusting to the kind of movie it is. In the second half, when Abe puts on his hat and grows a beard, it hits the roof and becomes awesome. This movie does have its epic moments so if that's what you're expecting, you will get some too.

All in all, the movie was great. It was done like a legitimate movie and even had dramatic moments. This, coupled with the insane premise, makes it an enjoyable movie.

Go watch it.

This Is All, This Is All

Wut

This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

First of all, wouldn't it be messy having the cheese on top? Just imagine putting your grubby, dirty, ass-scratching fingers on a sticky, gooey bun. How are they going to wrap this in paper?

Secondly, what damn difference does it make if the cheese is on top? I don't think it would be so radically different from having the cheese in the middle. The cheese in the middle...gee, what a novel concept.

How about a burger where the meat is on top, buns in the middle and cheese in the end? There. Fire the clown who made this up and hire me. I'll make the first meat-bun-cheese burger on the planet. (My idea;Pls dnt steal lololol /sarc)

What a load of crap.

Not So Amazing

There's a new Spider-Man movie! Ayala Cinemas have devoted all four theatres to it so obviously, at least they think its a big deal. I don't buy the bullshit.

I mean, really? Wasn't that first movie with Toby Maguire enough? That first movie was perfect but apparently, they're going to do it again. "Hey! Let's make a movie nobody asked for!"

At first I thought Hollywood had finally, definitively run out of original ideas. Later, I read that they are making this movie just so that Sony can retain the movie rights to Spider Man in the future which, doesn't sound very reassuring. If this movie is just to retain rights then what are the odds they're just gonna phone it in and half-ass it.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter looks promising for a few laughs.

Bow My Head And Wonder Why

There's something I need to get off my chest.

I like America (the band) and I actually went to see them when they came to the Waterfront Hotel a few years back. They're an old band and folk music isn't so popular nowadays but ever since I was a young boy, I listened to their songs on a casette tape almost everytime we rode the car.

Anyway, there's this song called, A Horse With No Name. I'm sure you've heard of it and its the probably the most well known song of America. But there's this particular part which disturbs me.

On the first part of the journey,

I was looking at all the life.

There were plants and birds. and rocks and things,

There was sand and hills and rings.

The first thing I met, was a fly with a buzz,

And the sky, with no clouds.

The heat was hot, and the ground was dry,

But the air was full of sound.

The song is catchy so you probably missed it. But one afternoon when I had nothing to do, I hummed this song to myself and it hit me. The HEAT was HOT? Wait a minute, hold the phone and stop the presses. How could this happen? What kind of bullshit is that? The heat was hot? Isn't that redundant? So there's a heat that's not hot? Hey! I can't believe they missed this. These lyrics don't make sense. I liked this song, now it's ruined. After all these years , it's been a cruel lie.

God damn this sinful earth.
