More Foolishness?

Last night's blog post makes really no sense to me either. Mostly it was put there to remember what I was looking at (the video that I've been told I would enjoy) for later, but the post just looks very silly in the light of day. That kind of thing you think is quite funny when you're a bit tipsy, but sober just looks like ranting.

No more of that, then! I'm recovering today from a night of too many "absolut hunks." They were quite tasty, but lethal, as hunks tend to be. They technically weren't Absolut hunks since I was using Smirnoff, but same old same old. I can't generally tell much difference between brand names, and they all do the same thing (things you regret later and tell yourself you'll never do again). I hope I didn't do anything too embarrassing, but I know when Nissa and I went to the airport to pick up Aaron, we were very, very silly. People looked at us quite funny. And Aaron was amused, in that way that a poor sober person who's had a long day can only be when confronted with two totally liquored up people. May I just extend a group apology to everyone? There. That's over with.

Today, as part of my recovery, I watched the movie Underworld. One of my favorite film critics, Mary Ann Johanson, the "Flick Philosopher" did a review of the movie that I read a while back that starts with the query of whether, when you become a vampire, you're issued the "proper" vampire wardrobe. I had been told the movie was bad, but good, in a way, by others who like vampire stuff. Kind of "you have to see it just cause." So, feeling kind of crappy anyway, and not at all good to do anything productive today, I figured what the hell. Mary Ann's not right every single time, and while I like reading her reviews for sheer fun writing and often agree with her, there have been notable exceptions (the Hulk, for one). I thought the movie was okay. It was a bit over the top on "dark creepy places" and deep, vibrating guitar chords that are supposed to evoke GOTH sensibilities. It also has this voice over thing that is supposed to lend itself to thinking "wow, there's going to be a sequel" and getting you all excited about the idea of all out vampire/lycan hybrids and stuff. I like vampire stuff, but am not obsessed with it. I would say watch the movie if you are at all into the genre, but if you can take it or leave it, don't go out of your way. It's okay, and I don't regret the purchase (got it on pay per view) but there are better things to do with one's time. Like take a nap. Which I'm going to do right now.
