The Grudge


Going against my wuss inner self I went to watch a movie with a friend: Jenni. Jenni covered her eyes for half of the movie while I covered my ears. It felt like someone should be next to us covering their mouth.

Highlight below to read the spoiler.


Basically, the movie is senseless killing of not a ghost but the powerful rage that is left behind when a person was brutality kill/murder.

One thing that did not made sense is the senseless killing. In Chinese ghost culture the ghost/spirit/powerful rage that is left behind only haunt and kill the person that cause their death. The powerful rage is usually the last "breath" or "chi" that cause them to stay until their revenge is complete. However, anyone that enter that house is basically screw no matter what you do or how far you try to get away from the crused place.

Another matter that doesn't make sense is the use of technology not only by the living beings but by the "ghost. For example,

1) Use of the phone to located its victims and their apartment number.
2) Need the victim to open or trick them to open objects like the door to get to the victim. The closing of doors can stop the "ghost" from advancing to you.
3) The "ghost" looking into the security cameras to see who else is on the other side on the monitor.

...well, you know, just the "minor" details that bugs me.

However, now I am very careful when I look into any corner of my closet.

House of Anselor

First of all I would like to thank anselor and Ellen for being such great host. Thank you for inviting and letting us stay over for the night. I had a great time and even greater joy to see you guys again. Much thanks.

Anselor I most approve with your projector and sound system set up. Simple and most effective for its purpose as a gaming setup and for movie nights! I should keep this setup in mind when I set up my own place.

List of people left to visit:
House of Fuster
House of Tom
Lisa

Pixels

I talk to Anselor couple of months ago about him getting a camera phone.
He shook his head and reply that he will not buy one until they come out with camera phone capable of 4 Megapixel. So guess what Eric? Read this and get it!

In other news Swearing can make men impotent.

What to do? What to do?!

What should I do? What should I say to her? He asked. (hands over face. deflating breath of life.)

Easy. (leaning back. eyes close. sunlight on my face) Make her smile in the morning, laugh in the afternoon and make her feel safe and warm at night. I reply. (smile.)

Death of Superman

Christoper Reeves pass away today. Truthly now it is the death of Superman.

Somehow when I heard the news this morning while driving to work I felt a string of life force in me snap and wither away. At the moment I am not sure which word most describe my mood, but for now I think that confuse will do.

On Sunday I sat alone the whole day doing cleaning and major reading of some X-men comics that David, with evil intend, left at the house. I pick it up thinking to skim thru it and get back to study; four hours later that I put it down. (Narrowing my eyes at David) I am not going to pick up a comic book up for while. Not because that I don't like the comic, but that it took so much damn time to read them. But overall, thank you David for the X-men comics.

The best time over the weekend was sitting with a friend for three hours doing parking for the LSU game. I had no intent to go to the game but was offer a free ticket from a co-worker. I know for life of me that I can't talk and keep up a conversation with a girl so I am most thankful that she is a talker, where once in awhile I slip in a comment or two. That three hours of parking I learn that I can't sweet or smooth talk to a girl to save my life. All I can do is sit and listen making a witty or cocky comments about what she is talking about. I wondering if there is a career for that; sitting there and listen, comments and smile about the conversation.

Logan's Run

Current workout:

3 miles a day; six days a week. Rest on the seven day.
Work out after the run; five days a week.

Wanted: A running partner and/or a workout partner.

I am not sure what cause me to run a lot these days. One thing I know for sure is that once I start jogging my brain shuts down and next thing I know I am a mile or two from where I started before re-gaining couscience again. I guess it is just that jogging let me not think about things that has been on my mind for a mile or two.

Just last night I bump into a friend I have not seen for a year.
She was wearing a t-shirt with the chinese charactor meaning courage.
The first thing she did was to look me straight in the eyes and ask me is "How do you truely feeling these day?"

This stuck me a bit harder than I expected.

"Lonely" was my reply.
