Save A Tree

Please leave your Christmas trees to the forests. Earth needs all the trees and your few days having a "real" tree doesn't make it any better.

Buy a eco friendly "plastic" lookalike tree and feel better for at least trying to make a difference.

I have had the same "plastic" tree for ten years and it still looks rather nice.

SAVE A TREE, don't buy/cut real ones!

The Time Warp guys should see how the bee flies. Really.

Some Good, Some Bad

I actually enjoyed watching Ghost Town on DVD. Even though it was pretty close to that Eva Longoria ghost-thingy -movie, included dentist humor and Tea Leoni with some ghost whispering, I liked it enough to have a big surprise at the almost-end (actually me and J went WTF at that point, damn those movie bus drivers!!). This one I could actually buy on DVD rather than rent.

Another good surprise was Mirrors, starring Mr 24.. At some point it was so creepy I had to pause for awhile. The weirdest thing was, there were some creepy images I can't shed out of my mind for a couple of days. The creepiest part in the film was after I watched it, because I got freaked out by a reflection in the window that had a human in it. Of course, it was the TV and Ghost Town on it, but it was enough to make me go goose-bump all over.

Now the bad.. The Duchess. I don't mind period dramas but this definitely was Keira Knightley on one too many of that genre. She needs to do something else than wear a corset and either silly bonnets or stupid hairdos. I didn't like the movie most of its part. Even the guy (Dominic Cooper of Sense and Sensibility on BBC - I think) Georgina falls in love with has been in one too many period dramas. The only thing I ended up watching was the fabric of the dresses and the sets and sceneries of the film. The rest was wayyyyy too much Keira. Keira please, DO SOMETHING ELSE, like a good shoot-out with a hard-boiled toughguy. No more corset dramas, please. For some reason, I like Aidan McArdle, who plays Sheridan, I haven't seen him much, but I liked the BBC mini Jane Eyre, in which he played John Eshton the twin researcher. This guy could do a couple more corset dramas, I think.

Missed The Geminides & A Few Words About Mansion/Garden

So, I've been waiting another year for the Geminides meteor shower to arrive. And the weather HAD to suck, of course, so I missed the maximum. I'm not angry, just furious.

The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden Stuff: RIP-OFF! Do NOT waste your money on it. You'll get a few decent plants, but: They won't match seasons -> will not wilt in winter. The rest of it is bull. No trees (WTF?), just a few indoor plants and useless, ugly items, such as a weird horse-type statue. I found only a few usable items, the windows and doors were mostly ugly (recolors needed!) and the Apartment Life "bugfix" f*cked up my game because I use a lot of annoyance-removing hacks and these hacks were broken because eAxis decided to break everything - again.

I've had a day of disappointments today. Well, yesterday.

The Day The Earth Stood Still

I just love one-face-Keanu. Though in DESS it was justified, he is an alien and everything, I believe he's overbotoxed himself.

I had to whisper: "Wake up, Neo" at a certain point in the movie...

The movie: I thought I liked the movie until we got to the part where the Disney shit started, you know the *sob* I miss dad *sob* me too *sob shit*. Only US flag waving could have made the film worse. I hated the kid (Will Smith: Your kid is terrible, do him a favor and quit pushing him towards film career, he'll be in rehab in less than ten years anyway) from the get-go and when he called the authorties on Kleetus whereabouts, I was past anger. Made me realize why I hate kids and their way of thinking.. The graveyard (over-sappy shit) scene made me frustrated and I wanted to leave the theater, but thought I might was well let J finish it, though he wasn't pleased either. I'm sorry but this movie was sort of, like Disney meets Neo. The Disney part was the I-thought-you-thought-broken-relationship between the step mom and the annoying brat. I kept hoping the woman would give a good bitch slap to the boy and ditch him. How cruel of me.

One good thing: I almost cried when the spheres started gathering animals, saving the ones who weren't to blame. Another good thing: I almost cried when the woman understands Kleetu is here to save life on earth but not humans. We would deserve it. A disease that would wipe most of the population. Interstellar intervention. Anything that would give us a lesson...

The thing is.. I don't think we'd learn.

I'd give two stars to DESS, but only because I happen to like Keanu and I liked the two emotion spikes. That's it.

Top Ten Horror Movie Rules

How to survive in a horror movie?

Ten useful tips:

10. Don't rent an old cabin far away from everything
9. Do not wear skimpy clothing (definitely NO flip-flops, you can't run with them)
8. If you sense something is behind you, don’t bother checking, just run.
7. Don't run upstairs (unless there's a panic room)!
6. Never say “Who’s there?” (Nor hello, Anyone there etc)
5. Do not go search for something in the basement/garage/attic.
4. Never go ANYWHERE alone if there's someone else still alive!
3. Always check the back seat of your car. Always.
2. Never say "I'll be back". You won't.
1. Absolutely no sex (no boobs either)!

I Wish I'd Live To The Day..

I wish I'd live to the day when recording one's dreams would be possible. A Japanese group of neuroscientits or a group of nerds anyhow have gone one step closer to recording dreams: they have succeeded in recording random images shown to the person prior to the tests.

A Nice Weekend

I visited my friend L this weekend. We had a bit of girly fun, like farting and playing Wii (yeah, I dragged ours to her place). I love the town she lives in. They've left some of the buildings from 19th and 20th century unlike in my home town, where they've torn down almost everyting older than 1930 and built ugly concrete projects. Her town is not much bigger than this, but it seems like a bigger place. And how polite the people are. The cashiers actually can talk and they are helpful too. Unlike here. I was on good mood the whole weekend despite the high blood pressure that was diagnosed as a migraine, anemia, bi-polar disorder or panic disorder is still quite high. It annoys my to feel and hear my heart beat.

A good weekend ended with a nice dream. I forgot most of it almost instantly, but there was this guy with blonde curly hair, who followed me at a book fair. I noticed him staring, but he didn't turn his eyes away. As I walked away, he followed. I was not bothered. After finding a book about a color (I don't remember what color, maybe it was cirulean blue, but blueish anyway), I read a paragraph. There was a name, which I don't remember. The writer sounded something like Alexander Dumas. While I was reading, he came to me and started talking, like we've known for ages. He started talking about this study. It was about relationships, how people have grown too careful and getting married after nine years is too late, that relationships grow boring if they don't move fast enough. He finished his pedantic talk and then said: I want to be married in ten months. It was, like, he was giving an order rather than just stating something. I blushed. I said: "I'm with someone." He shrugged and said: "No, I didn't mean it like that. We can be, sort of, like friends and not risk your relationship, but we can change the status if you ever feel like it. Now this guy was cute and all, but all I could think about was J, how much he has done for me in good and bad and decided I'd rather be with one I know than possibly go tumbling down. Then he started to appear everywhere and I was soon intrigued and I figured he was too. In the end, I fell in love with him and the rest of the dream is X-rated, but it left me a good feeling.

This dream was apparently effected by Twilight, which I didn't like. It held somewhere inside me, I think, because the whole stare-at-me-follow-stuff was straight from that movie.

Twilight, What? Mental(ist)

Holy poo that movie sucks. I don't have ANYTHING positive to say about that movie. It was like 90210 + True Blood messed with a all-time-worst dialogue, stupid "romantic" jumping up and down trees, some vampire baseball.. Shit, shit, shit. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it. Don't waste your money on it.

I have also forgotten to mention my third favorite show, Mentalist. I don't know why I like it. It's not really good and that guy should be quite the mentalist to actually be able to pull stunts like that. I like Robin Tunney and there's something in her face that makes me just want to stare. I've seen The Craft for at least, like, twenty times. For some creepy reason, I love her chicken legs in it.

Simon Baker, who is the mentalist, Patric Jane (I always thought it was Jayne) has the most evil grin on his face sometimes. Great, wicked smile. Awesome! After CSI went to all-poo halfway through the eight season, this is my replacement. Simon Baker, who you'd might know from The Guardian and Land of the Dead. Of course I recognice him from Ring Two and The Devil Wears Prada (but I'd never confess to watching them)..

There's this X-Filish sparkles-theme between Jane and Lisbon that always works for me. Basically, any show having that kind of a relationship between the main characters, I'm sold.

Doctors From Hell

Over-golded, trendy clothes, big belly.. This was my doctor today.

He suggested that my high blood pressure that came out of nowhere two days ago is because I might be bi-polar, suffering from migraine or panic disorder. He also said I might be a bit depressed or anxious. He also added that having a history of childhood abuse might effect my mind (no shit, Sherlock). Not to forget he thinks I'm anemic. Oh and let's not forget that he sent me home with blood pressure 30 units higher than it should be.

Nothing's changed, I'm just a bit poorer and yes, my head's still humming, my heart's beating too fast and NOW I'm pissed off too. I though I've had some poor doctors, but this one... The next time I'll go see a doctor is in a body bag. I've had it. No one calls me crazy until I start seeing pink elephants climbing trees.

And apprently I'm wrong about thinking what depression meds did to my sister has something to do with how they'll effect me. After all, we only share most of our genes. But no.

He just wanted to know do I like my life. I had to think a sec. I have J, a few well chosen friends, a nice place to live in, my most important people are alive and the only thing in my life I don't like is school. I, amazingly, like myself. I'm surprisingly happy being fat.

I basically told the doctor to go fuck himself. Well, no, I was polite as always. But I DID ask him why was he being so arrogant. "I'm not being arrogant, you're just being touchy." After a night of takykardia, humming in my ears and worry about my health in all, I'd like to have something else said instead of stating that I'm a mental case.

I'm not. The only thing I don't have the energy to do is school stuff. I can go out (even though my back aches), go shopping, sit on the computer, watch movies, talk with people, play Wii with people, cook, smile, laugh, cry... I am not crazy or even mentally unstable (isn't what all the really crazy people say), I just don't like school, had a tumor-like thingy in my belly (that's still hurting) and a muscle that hasn't healed properly.

It's all in me head, as Mr. Tweedy has to remind himself every now and then (in Chicken Run).

I forgot, there's one annoying, arrogant doctor I like and that's House, MD.

My Carbon Footprint

My carbon footprint is 5,08 tonnes (Kg) of CO2 according to the test I made. According to carbonfootprint.com, it is 2.92 tonnes of CO2. I don't know about the units in the second test, so I can't really tell did I just give the wrong answers. The average footprint in my country is 12 tonnes according to that last test.

How big is your footprint?

Change of subject: I have had my new Nokia N95 8Gb for quite some time now. I can't say nothing negative about it, I've liked every bit of it, except the crappy Spiderman 3 movie that came with it. Well, if I really have to complain about everything, it's still a bit slow, killing hung software is difficult, the camera isn't properly covererd and after a while the keys start making noise, but everything else is cool. The price? Way too much, but everything costs nowadays.

Today In Russia...

I heard Putin is going to do his famous questionnaire on Russian TV. Unfortunately people just can't phone and ask. I would ask him what will happen to Medvedev (or whatever the puppet is called) if he starts thinking with his own brain and speaking with his own mouth. Do the russians actually believe that Medwhatever is the president? 'Cause in my humble opinion, he's not.

I bet they will assassinate the president and the "people" will ask Putin to step into his shoes.

The last bit of the snow is gone after two days or rain. I hate our weather.
