Live in California, but leave before you get soft.

I have gotten so very soft. My last kitchen had one sometimes working outlet. I disliked anything permanently attatched to it. So no coffee maker on the counter, no toaster, no rice cooker, nothing. just the fridge. Well, the kitchenaid mixer. But it wasn't plugged in. (I've got the cobalt blue guy, we've named him mixmaster mike, oh he is lovely!) Now, in this new kitchen, I have FOUR outletts, all GFI. It's a scandal. Yet this morning when I was fixing waffles, I found myself complaining that there was not an outlett closer to the stove to make the transfering of the waffles from the waffle-ifier to the oven where they coud keep warm untill my saturday morning babysitting charges arrived. I was seriously unhappy about this for at least three minutes, perhaps more. Soft soft soft. and fat, don't forget the fat. It's from the waffles.

And I was wrong about "Stay", it's not "the Time Traveller's Wife", it just has some guy named Henry who was in a library appearing to get unstuck in time, so why would I ever get the idea that it had anything to do with the book, about this guy named Henry who gets unstuck in time
and works in a library. Nothing similar there at all. Again, I blame the waffles.

"The Ring Two" is utter crap and should be avoided. I'm sure most folks know that already, however since I don't go to the movies but more than twice a year, I must wait for the pay-per-view. Suuuuuuhhh-hhhhhucked! And I did really like the first one, I mean, I've got the novel and the manga too. Really liked it! I haven't seen the Original Ring 2 and Ring 0, but I did see the original Ringu, and I really liked that too. I haven't seen the remake of "Dark Water", but I did enjoy the short story and the Japanese movie. Also in Asian horror news for me, there is a sequel for the "Eye", and it's only $12, I should just buy it. The Asian horror films are so much more direct than the American ones, you go into a haunted house, or cross a ghost's path, and BOOM! no explanation, no beating it, no lifting the curse, this house is not clean and will never be clean no matter how many pretty blonde actresses get eaten. Too bad! So sorry! You are dead meat. It drives me crazy how There always has to be some way to beat it, to get out of it, of the hook, in American horror movies. The boy and girl hold hands in the sunset endings, The ghost's eyes peering after them with some dramatic crash of music followed by the credits. Fuck that noise. I want them eaten. The bad end badly, the good unluckily.

In other news of the horrorshow type, Tom Cruise is expecting a spawn. Shudder.
