Eriq’s Blag

My alarm didn’t work and I got pissed at my dad for waking me up. I promptly fell back asleep. My mom woke me up again at three to yell at me for not changing my sleeping habits. I took a shower and when I came back found my window and window shade open. She did this back home too, I fucking hate it. I grunted and attempted to close them. I couldn’t unwind the shade cord due to my anger and shouted at it. My mom came in and I got pissed at her. We got mad at each other and I told her to get out and she said that if I was going to sleep in late and be grumpy that she would find somewhere for me back in the States. She then left and lashed out at my dad, asking why I had even come if I didn’t want to be here, as if I couldn’t hear through the walls without trying. I then had a mental breakdown standing in my towel trying to figure out what the fuck I was doing here and with my life in general. I didn’t come to any conclusions. I eventually calmed down somewhat and got dressed as it was six and we were going to see a play at eight. I was still pissed. The play was a farce by Hitchcock of a spy novel (something like that). Performed by only four actors it was centered around that “for another character to come on, one must go off” style of comedy. It was very funny. When we got home I started to watch Alien, but it wasn’t really the kind of SciFi that I like, not that I was scared of it, it just wasn’t techie enough or actiony or westerny. Then I played some TFTwo with Trung.

The other day this was posted on xkcd (make sure to read the alt text). Today where there were 2 results there are now 258,000.

So, I just watched “28 Days Later.” That’s some scary shit, at least the scary bits are, but it was also very evident that it was a British film. Even though it’s a serious film, there are still some funny bits. For example, at one point an “infected” is chasing this guy around a big mansion and a couple guys walk in the door, catching some people trying to escape; just as they ask what the fuck’s going on, a guy runs by screaming being chased by the “infected.” Now I wish I still had that cricket bat.

Just watched “Clerks II,” finally, and man, it was fucking brilliant/awesome. I thought it was great how at the end, there’s a woman taking out all of the milk, trying to find the right one, just like in the first one (I think). Silent Bob was pretty good too; even though he didn’t say anything enlightening, the fact that he cussed out Jay made up for it.
