What do you do when you have the house to yourself on a Friday night? Party! I hear you scream..
That would have been the usual protocol in any 'home alone' opportunity- invite the mad gang over for drinks and eats, rave on till the wee hours of the morning.
But no. I decided I wanted a night-in, just me the telly and mountains of junk food. Since it hit the global markets we know how marvellous HD TVs are as a viewer you feel like you're in the scene/environment next the person(s). Its fab for nature programs and films. Yea films, horror films are magnified in clarity and hence making it far more scarier than when first viewed on grainy analogue sets.
Foolishly, you may say, I decided to watch The Exorcist 3. Among the iconic scenes from the trilogy, this one, in my opinion, is the most spin-chilling scene. (Exorcist III 'Legion' - Nurse Station Scene, courtesy of http://youtube/zHGood p8ynu0jRvY)
I do not like being an in-patient at the best of times, but growing up hearing of haunting tales at hospitals and after watching this (when I was much younger) has instilled an eternal fear of dingy hospital corridors. I also have developed an irrational fear of the nurses being harmed by apparitions or poltergeists! Serves me right for being a reluctant fan of the horror genre.
How can I be a 'relunctant' fan? I'm one of those who likes a scary film but would only watch it with either a bunch of people or if alone (like in this occassion) peeping through an opening under my duvet!
Having said that, I would still prefer to watch a scary movie than a chic flick any day.
So what do I do to pass yet another few hours, since I have already spooked myself stupid that I wont be sleeping a wink until daybreak, I proceeded to watch amityville horror! "Another bowl of popcorn, for the mad lady!"
If you have been hiding in a hole for the past few weeks and or have
not an ounce of interest for football, then England crashing out will
not be a major issue for you.
I do not want to
re-iterate the painful scoreline on these pages, but surely now the age
old joke- 'don't mention '66 world cup' has been completely and
absolutely ripped from our tongues. It'll be now the German's who'll be
saying 'don't mention 2010 world cup to the English' for the next 4 or
40 years!? Well I think the footballers should do the decent thing and
cut their paychecks by...say.. 90% and give the money to good use like
the employment of graduates and TALENTED young people (even though I say
so my self!)
Ahh
well
enough of the football for now, I've been scouring the Internet to find
something interesting to write about.
Came
across this article on the Independent website. Geez that means I have to start
writing sober-damn, not so fun any more this writing malarkey (haha, kidding really I'm not much of
a drinker and have never touched the evil drugs.
Surely
no one could have believed that creative writing was indeed induced by
the consumption of alcohol and drugs. One simply just has to look at the
state a person becomes, generally after taking these substances on a
recreational level. The individual most certainly becomes incoherent,
unable to remember their names, let alone spell them. So therefore, they
could not have been capable of writing incredible literary works,
whilst intoxicated.
Hahaha, aww this is a sweet article. Giant
Rabbits as pets, that's 50 quid well spent I think. I wonder if they an
move about as freely as normal sized rabbits? what's not to say they are
actually normal sized and the smaller ones are actually dwarfs of their
kind?? Now I'm just being silly I know.
I
think this needs to be looked asap. Diplomatic immunity is being abused
so much in this country, Why cant it be like in the TV series CSI, they seemed to almost always
nail the sodding characters. They are clearly not abiding by the laws of
the land, and don't seem to care about their behaviour at all. If the
shoe were on the other foot, our embassy staff abroad would be done up
like kippers, if found to have done something ridiculously stupid, like
j-walking!
Great
reads these lot, personally I've still got a fair few more to add to my
reading list.
I feel I have to end this piece with a
funny satire video, a cartoon parody of the worst song ever to have been
aired to the public, the horror they must have felt coming over them
when it started- ugh unbearable to think about it.
This
link about William Shatnar, I'd
most certainly never would have admitted in hind-in side- if I were
this person. The most cringe worthy of tracks released by this actor in
the 70's was quite frankly horrid.
