Other matters real quick like, since I have to be up at 7. The whole horror movie a day thing is just not going to work. I don;t have enough time between work, sleep, and other TV shows. So basically I'm just going to watch what I can when I can. It will probably not be 31 movies, but it will be enough for the spirit to be there. Besides, why make it a job and force myself to watch a horror movie when I'm too tired or just not in the mood. Movies are to be enjoyed. I am not a paid critic, so I still get to just have fun with them.
But so far here is what we have watched (that I remember). 1) Last House on the Left (remake) 2)Laid 2 Rest 3) Paranormal Activity (that movie along with the stress of the other day literally kept me up all night long the other night) 4)Body Parts 5) Troll 2. That's it so far, and it is now the 8th. I thought about watching the Dawn of the Dead remake tonight since it features Ty Burrell, who is in what is so far my favorite new series, Modern Family, which came on tonight. Just thought it would make sense to put that on. Alas, I wound up getting on the interwebs and getting sucked into technology gadget tech-y stuff I know next to nothing about.
For example, Verizon (my carrier) has what is called the MiFi, an portable wireless modem. Pretty much take it with you anywhere Verizon provides coverage, and you are always in your own little personal hot spot. But I think you have to have Verizon's wireless service, and they charge by how much you use. And since I play online games on XBox, stream movies through Netflix, and watch various other youtube clips, I have no idea how much their service would cost me. Probably way more than would be in my means. I think that;s how it works.
But when I get into something like that, I just keep digging, and the Daily Show winds up being paused in the DVR for a couple of hours. Then I look at the new fancy phones, and wonder if I could sweet talk them into the deals they offer new customers. Things like that. Then I realize that I don't have any freakin money! But whatever. I have always been a tech junkie, and even though it has gotten to the point where I feel like the old man who doesn't know how to program a VCR or work a remote, I grew up loving sci-fi movies. And even though I will probably never even handle or use half this stuff, it's still cool to me. It sounds nerdy, but the rate that technology is increasing is not only scary, but It is interesting for me. When I see that some company has come up with some super device that does something super rad, I will probably blather on about how rad it looked, but in my heart of hearts I know I won't ever have one, and I;m cool with that, It;s just seeing it in action that makes me feel like a little boy.
And don;t even get me started on what I heard about the new Sony 3D TVs that are supposed to drop next year that they showed at the Fantastic Fest. I only heard about it. But here is how it will work. I will talk about it forever, about how awesome it looks, and how I saw it over at Best Buy or Frys and it was super sweet, annoy the fuck out of everybody about it because I won't shut up about it, and that's it. I'll maybe get one a few years after they are out, but not until I have the cash to pay for it all upfront and still be in a fine place financially.
I will never (and I know people say "Never say never", but I mean this) get another credit card as long as I live. I'll use my bank charge card, but never again a credit card. Those complained can all go screw themselves. And if you are saying "well, no credit is worse than bad credit", I don;t give a shit. I'm not paying any company stupid ass interest rates that they can change at any time they like. Aaaaaand now I'm starting to talk financial, which is what my other blog, Two Guys Eating A Doo-Doo Sandwich, is all about. Money.
Okay, time for bed now. I think I'm sleepy enough to not be spooked awake all night. But if I am, maybe I'll throw a quick entry over at McBroke.
