That Disappointing Feeling
When you’re trying to get to sleep and it’s really hot the first thing you do it kick off the blanket a bit. But it doesn’t help. Then you take off your shirt. Still doesn’t help. Then you flip your pillow. Ahh sweet, sweet cold pillow. It feels like cold marble the first time you rest your head against that new side. But eventually it loses that cool and you flip it again. Well that was disappointing. Sure it’s a little cold but it’s never going to be as cold as that first time again.
What you need is an endless supply of pillows. This also has many other uses. Examples: pillow fights, pillow forts.

It’s Too Dangerous!
Legally, people are allowed to op out of any part of their job if they think it’s too dangerous. Now that kind of makes sense. If you employer wants you to do something stupidly dangerous you’re allowed to say no without fear of losing your job. But what if your job has some inherent danger? What if you’re part of animal control and you refuse to get near the animals because the might bite you? It’s a perfectly reasonable reaction, that’s why you were called in the first place. How about a fire fighter who won’t go into the building because it’s on fire? Perfectly rational indeed.

Last Sip
I don’t know what it is but everyone is very sentimental about the last sip of anything.
We will drink almost all of something but be compelled to offer that last tiny bit to the original owner.
Lesson? Don’t share your drink.

A Movie Review: The Gamers: Dorkness Rising
I was browsing around Netflix (finally in Canada!) and because some newer movies I wanted to watch weren’t available I went looking for something on the other on the other side of funny, something I would laugh at.
I went into this movie with the worst intentions. I wanted a B movie to laugh at for crappy effects, terrible acting and an even worse plot. I’ve seen many bad movies from MST3K and that’s what I wanted to experience again here, something so bad it was laughable.
But I didn’t get that. I did get a B movie. And it did have some crappy effects. And it did have some poor acting. And the plot wasn’t always the best. But I laughed with it.
Why? Because I liked it. It was a B movie for sure, but I liked the humour, I liked the characters and I liked the plot. The effects weren’t the best but they were surprisingly good at times. The plot wasn’t amazingly fantastic, but it didn’t seem in the least bit contrived in the least. Hell, everything in this movie I can related to fairly well.
So now instead of laughing at the movie and telling people how bad it is I want to find a place to buy it online (for less than $30 >.>) and show it to as many people as I can. It’s not amazing but it’s pretty damn good.
