Mini-Reviews 37

Whoops, forgot to post this yesterday.


The Abandoned-- Not a good film. Boring, and the main character is dumb as shit, and not in a more entertaining way. That's about it.

Just a little late side note...

To avoid any confusion in case anyone else reads this, the end of that last entry is not to be taken seriously. I am not seriously complaining about not being able to purchase vidgames; I am not quite that petty. It was a joke, I wanted to end on something that made me laugh.

But seriously, though, E3's comin' and I'm looking forward to what the three console companies have planned for their conferences.

Not as entertaining a read this time, sorry

So, today and yesterday I've not been in a terribly good mood. Yesterday was my own fault. Today was not. But that's beside the point, my point is that one of the things on my mind is how shitty I am, so, let's talk about that, shall we?

So, in short, I'm ignorant and a coward. I don't know what I'm doing or where I'm going or, hell, even when. And I really hate the amount of hand-holding it would appear I require. I know, that's all terribly cryptic, but I've come to the realization that I'm just not down with sharing full-detail information with anyone who happens to wander across this blog.

To top it all off, I'm fat, hairy, ugly, I hate my voice, my stomach sucks and it makes me feel ill way too often, I'm broke as shit, and the vicious circle that is my mind hates me even more because I hate myself. What the fuck, right?

Some good news, E3 is coming up and I'm looking forward to the conferences so I can hear about all the nifty games I won't be getting.

And that's not entirely sarcastic.

A Day For Idiots

I dunno what the fuck is up with people today, but gods be damned, all the idiots done left thei' homes.

There's nothing big to share, just a bunch of little things that add up to that inarguable fact. Like the sheer number of people I saw crossing the streets in the middle of traffic, neverminding the cars barreling toward them. Or the number of dumb ass drivers who don't know where their turn signals are or any basic rules of the road. Or this one big, white Dodge Ram that had no fucking clue what he was doing. Driving down the middle of two lanes, whipping around other cars, ignoring stop signs. He was fun to follow for a while. And this big tanker truck that kept drifting to the right and then over-correcting and whipping back to the left, more than once into the lane of oncoming traffic a bit.

All the idiots are out today. Remain indoors, please.

EDIT: Oh, and, a fun fact I learned today, Blistex medicated lip ointment apparently has tinfoil lining the inside, and that will set off a metal detector.

Not teenage, not mutant, but definitely a ninja turtle.

So, I'm on my way home today, just drivin' along. I come upon a big turtle in the middle of my lane, so y'know, I position the car so as to drive over him, between my wheels, as opposed to veering into oncoming traffic or straight-up rolling over the turtle. But, as we're driving over it, I hear a distinct THUNK! from under the vehicle, and my mother, who's riding in the passenger seat, says "Did you just hit the turtle?!" To which I replied, "No, I fucking drove over him. Maybe his shell hit against the underside of the car."

We decided to return and check on the welfare of this turtle. So, we walk along the shoulder of the road up to him [and he was a big son of a bitch snapping turtle, not some little cutesy thing] and the little fucker is snapping at cars going by in the other lane! XD At this point, people are noticing us in the street with this turtle, and they're stopping to look and comment before driving on. Oh, and would you like to know what that THUNK! was? Well, another car drives over him while we were standing there deciding what to do, and the turtle whips his head up at the car driving over him tryin' to bite it, smacking his head against the underside of it in the process. XDD So... yeah, big, angry ninja turtle.

Happy ending, though, a nice lady and a nice, albeit kind o' weird, older gentleman stopped and got out of their cars to help, aussi. We eventually pushed the little thing to the other side of the guard rail by the road, but, he was not happy about his lot in life, let me tell you. He was snapping and tryin' to get folk, grabbing and chewing up the sticks we were using to prod him to the side ['cause, I dunno about y'all, but, I like fingers right where they are, and homie turtle there could have bitten at least one clean off]. We could have grabbed his tail, but, he wouldn't let us get behind him, he kept circlin' to face off against us, and if one distracted him while another person went to the backside to grab his tail, this smart turtle would wrap it up tight against his body so you couldn't grab it.

So, yeah... whee, saved a pissed off turtle. Or, alternatively, I saved some cars passing by from a pissed off turtle. XDD

It's still technically Friday...


Star Trek-- Great movie, see it. Yeah, that's about all I've got to say. See it. Even if you don't watch the television show or you're not that interested in it, see the movie. You'll probably like it even better than a Trekkie may!

Holy hell, I watched a new movie! Midnight showings for the win.


X-Men Origins: Wolverine-- It's an okay action movie, if you don't mind heavy-handed dialogue, a lot of kind o' poorly done CG, and a lot of ridiculous yelling. And so long as you completely ignore the source material. Yeah, pretty much just okay, pretty good if you're just looking for some funny lines and stupid, fun action.
