Happy Groundhogs Day... I think. Never was much of a Holiday person, and I feel like we can't even include this one as a holiday. Who came up with the idea anyway? A groundhog will determine whether or not spring comes early? Most people would rather poison them to get them off their lawns. Quick!! To the Internet!! Wikipedia will surely know the answer. Yeah, I did look that up just to prove a point. Anyway, not much happened today. The resin castings still need to finish curing, according to the directions it'll take 72 hrs from the initial pouring. So about 9pm tomorrow they should be ready to pop out. Ended up watching a bunch of youtube videos and reading all day. I watched Horror movie reviews on Reel Creepy's blog.
The guy giving the review on the video is Zak, he's a friend from college. I really enjoy the reviews, not only does it save me some money from watching crap-tastic movies, but his dry sense of humor amuses me greatly. This also gives me the opportunity to hear about all the awesome indie horror flicks that are straight to video. So one of the reviews (the video above) is for a movie called The Woman. It's pretty messed up but according to Zak a pretty awesome movie. I had interest in it before but couldn't seem to find it in the local library or Best Buy(my two sources for movies since my computer is a p.o.c.) . Well I got curious into the origin of the movie, found out it's based off of Jack Ketchum's books. Apparently there's 3 books, Off Season, Offspring and The Woman. The movie Offspring is the first two books and The Woman is the sequel movie. So now I'm super interested, so I ran over to the local library to find Off Season. So I look up the book and I locate the appropriate shelf and there's no book. The computer system says it's been checked in and in virtual reality it exists. But after 15 minutes and two librarians it clearly is no longer on the shelf... or in the library. But they had the second book Offspring, which takes place 10 years after the first book. I'm about one hundred pages in and it's not a difficult read. Goes pretty quickly too. Anyway, when I first asked for some help, the librarian clearly thought I was a teenager, since she took me to the 'teen books' section and proceeded to ask me where I saw the book. I blinked a few times turned around and pointed to the other end of the library where the adult horror fiction books are and said, "the other side of the library." It still bothers me that people think I'm still in high school. I should wear a sign or something, like: "I have a Bachelors degree... No, I don't want to order from the kids menu." And while I'm on the subject of teenyboppers, a friend posted a link of a rather lovely cover of Katy Perry's, I kissed a girl and liked it.
It definitely changes the meaning of the song, and overall I like the music better. The voice of this guy is soothing in comparison to the notes Katy Perry (almost) hits.
Other than that I worked on the Brain a little (started a new ball of yarn!) and had an epic poking war with my sister on facebook. Tomorrow will be more interesting.
See ya!
