See you at the party, Richter!

Total Recall.
Surely, the is no better sci-fi action movie out there. Its hard to compete with a movie that has the hero use an innocent bystander as a human shield within the first 20 minutes. Also, its seems these days you don't often see intensely grotesque puncture wounds to the neck or face outside of the torture porn genre. Even then, its all sacrificial lamb shit with none of the feel good intensity you get when it happens ot a bad guy or henchman (or scientist in this case). Even the cheesey one liners seem better than normal in this movie. "consider that a divorce" after shooting your wife in the head, and "screw you" while murdering and man driving a drilling machine with a hand held drill, are just some of the examples.
Then theres the whole mnd fuck. was Quaid actually just living out his mars fantasy provided by recall, or was it really all just a conincidence? but at recall they showed Melina's face, and the one tech said "blue sky on Mars, that's a new one". Was it real? I don't know! what about what the guy from recall said? or was he from recall? maybe Cohagen did hire him to mess with Quaid/Houser.
Dang.

I'm never gonna get to sleep.

Tweets and Barrells.

It has recently come to my intention that i am not a very good blogger.
i've resigned to tweets. although sometimes i tend to go over the character limit.
its hard to be eloquent when you're always having to take words out of your masterpiece of cynical thought.
like today, for example. i wanted to express my concerns that a certain word is being used to describe everything from pleasant surroundings to art to a tuna fish sandwich.

my tweet should have read

"Dear everyone,
I humbly request that you please stop referring to everything as being "Amazing". For a list of acceptable replacement adjectives, please consult a thesaurus."

however, that is 33 characters too long for a tweet. it only takes about 10 seconds to say aloud.
too long.

well, perhaps my frustration with make me a better blogger.

Dear Mac Users, Pt.1

Why is everyone so afraid of mercury all of a sudden?
what's wrong? i don't get it. does it look too cool? has its looking too cool reached pretentiousness? and has the pretentiousness ostracized it from the new hip community? because that's what apple computers is trying to convince me.
well I refuse to buy in to some elemental hate speak by an elitist marketing campaign!
I'm siding with emperor Qin Shi Huang on this one.
when I shuffle lose this mortal coil, I too will be entombed, floating on a lake of mercury.
quicksilver as I like to call it.
hydrargyrum, as no one likes to call it.
