Holiday mood

Haha, i'm in the holiday mood, mainly cos most of my frens are finally free and i can make some time to go out with them. Don't care if i have the flu, jus wanna get out of the endless cycle of mindless work and mindless play. Hmm it's been pretty good so far.

Heh, I've watched 2 movies recently, 'Shutter' and 'Alexander', well both weren't exactly unmitigated disasters, but ended up rather disappointing... Problem with shutter... Immature audience, lol, teenage girls were screaming in the intro, the scary parts the NON-scary parts and even the parts that only looked like they were going to be scary... Other than that the movie is kinda obvious in some ways (*spoilers ahead skip the rest of this paragraph if you plan to watch 'Shutter' and don't want me to spoil it) The girl whom they bang isn't reported in the papers( almost standard in most ghost stories), they find a way to tell if a ghost is around them(some ghost stories use an ouija board, they use a polaroid camera, fitting it's name), the scene in the male toilet where he is handed a toilet roll(dun u jus hate it when u have to go and there's no paper?), by something/someone? with long painted nails, he bangs the door open to find...a Transvestite that asks him if he'she can 'poo' first. Then when the ghost finally appears, as standard, she(also another standard, female ghosts are scarier) she is always behind him... Lastly cos of the hints of the doctors office of his weight anomally, my best fren and i were taking bets halfway through the show as to the ending. He bet she was sitting on his shoulders, i bet she was gripping on, like piggyback. He won the bet.

Now for 'Alexander', have you watched 'Troy'? Take the movie, compress it, and rerun the battles 3 times from different angles, and you have a rough approximation of what 'Alexander' is like. My friend was wondering if he saw the movie before, he had a sense of deja vu, then realised two of the scenes in 'Alexander' if seen in a mirror image, was found in 'Try' exact positions and props... Cool Yeah.

Haha, even camp has been weird the past week or so, nthing gets done in the upper echelons of power as everyone's on vacation. As a happy result, no one in the 'small fry' divisions gets to do much work... Yours truly is actually looking for work to do for once... I mean the only work that's increased is the number of leave forms to process. And i can pretty much do tt in an hour's work... The rest, preparation of paperwork etc is practically non-existent right now...

Lastly, the 1 thing that's been taking up my time this past week... Maplestory, haha, was influenced by a friend of mine(hi pris) to play this game of mindless slaughter of creatures that actually look pretty cute. It's 2D, a almost complete rip off of pristontale, yet the reason i guess it's so popular is the multiple channel system and it's simplicity (i mean i've met and chatted with 7 yr olds in there, how diffiult can they game be?)

Anyway, the popular science website and the howstuffworks.com website are calling to me now, love those two sites... Fantastic new things to learn about, like the W16 engine(consists of two merged V8 engines), etc etc... Fun to read haha, with post again another time... Peace out
