This is horrible

I was working last night and caught the trailer for a new horror flick, "Dead Silence". We had the sound off at work so I just saw the visuals. It looked hella scary. I mean, creepy long face old people and puppets....DAMN! It looked so good. Then, I got to imbd.com today and find out who is behind it. Its the writer/director of "Saw". For those of you not familiar with "Saw" and all the requisite sequels. Or as I like to refer to them, disappointing. I quickly went from excited to bored and then I got a little hungry and then I went back to bored again. I'll give this movie the benefit of the doubt, meaning I doubt it will be any good.

Shooting Ones Wad...

...I am afraid that is what Chuck Palahniuk did that. I just finished reading "Haunted". I don't have cable and don't have a real job, so I have taken back up recreational reading. FUN COME ALIVE! It was a fun read. But, one of my favorite books is "Fight Club". I have read it four times. Twice for school and twice for fun. It is great. It is also one of the few books I have read that is actually awesome to correspond with the movie. However, "Fight Club" was his first book. Chuck has written a dozen or so more books since then. "Haunted," while being fun, disgusting, weird, and spooky all at the same time, lacks something. It takes the guise of being a post-modern Canterbury Tales, but I never got that feeling from it. Palahnuik never take the voice of his story tellers. He keeps his own voice. His own voice is the voice of 30-something hipsters. You might be saying, "Rochester, that's only two books." Oh no my friends, I have read two of his shorts stories, one from an old GQ and another from Playboy. (I have had it since 2001, so I am actually starting to read these damn things!) Those two stories have the same problem. But, you know what? I am going to read "Choke" and "Survivor" because I want to believe that they won't have the same problems. I truly do.

Tim Hardaway is Gay!

I am getting so sick of this. Timmy hates gays. Okay, so he's an asshole. Do I really need 24 hour coverage on this. Let's also look at Timmy's career in a whole, or in his case, in an asshole. The lump sum of his career was spent in Golden State and Miami. Yup, no homosexuals there. There is a line in "The Simpsons" when Krusty realizes he is not Jewish. "All this time I thought I was a self-loathing Jew, but it turns out I am just an anti-semite." Think about it, Timmy, then dust off your disco pants and head on out to South Beach.

2007 is far from heaven...

I had an awesome 2006. It was awesome. That being said 2007 is 44 days old and is has been a royal shit storm. Let's recap:

1. Junkie former roommate sticks me for the entire month of January's rent. Sooper!
2. I find out that one of the loves of my imaginary live, Debra Morgan, is married. This is not entirely bad, because there was a 0% chance I could have had sex with her. However, her husband is ugly and looks to be roughly 10 years older than her. Also, her real last name is not Morgan. Its much more "ethnic".
3. Then, I find out my Grandma's dead.
4. They are closing King's and turning it into a parking deck.
5. I have not found a real job yet.
6. My girlfriend says our relationship has "plateaued" and "just wants to be friends".

2,3,4, and 6 all happened in roughly 72 hours. Looks like God remember He hated me again. Wow.
