Dear Japan, your horror movies are sometimes so scary they are fucking hilarious. Movies such as Ringu, Ju-On, and The Locker (www.thelockerdvd.com), are all really impressive in terms of how they can actually scare me! I rarely ever get scared by watching a movie, I usually laugh my ass off or fall asleep because of boredom, but somehow you've tapped into my inner-most fears by exploiting the disadvantages of new born babies being stuffed inside a public coin-operated locker, left to die, or little girls being thrown into a well or strange girls with REALLY long hair moving in ways humans aren't supposed to...ack, so weird, it's impressively scary!
After a fun day of eating at BK and getting this stupid Star Wars bobble turny head thing, struggling to find a handicapped parking space for my cousin in a parking lot filled with cars illegally and horribly parked and shopping till we're dropping, Adèle and I found the time to rent a few asian horror films from Blockbuster. Phone (Korean) and The Locker (Japanese) were pretty okay in my opinion and are worth watching if you're looking for a good scare.
We also played Mario Party 6, which was pretty hilarious, they have this new microphone feature you can use to fire certain weapons at your opponents, (FIRE, LASER, DROP BOMBS, MISSLES...lol) But it doesn't always work very well, in some cases, when you play a guessing game, you have to speak very clearly otherwise it wont get what you're saying, for example; (GOOMBA........"Did you say...DAISY?" NO STUPID, GOOMBA!!!......Did you say...MARIO?.....AAAAACCKKK!!!! You stupid machine!!!!!........Did you say...GOOMBA?" uugghhhhh
Here's this awesome short story I found called Red Crayon, it's neat and kinda sad:
A married couple bought a used house. The house boasted plenty of sunlight in a great location, but above all, the price made it an excellent bargain.
After they were all established in the house, the husband noticed a single red crayon on the floor in the hallway. The couple didn't have any children. The husband thought it odd, but just figured that the previous resident had left it there, and threw it away. The next day, the wife found a red crayon on the floor in the hall.
"That's strange. I could've sworn I had thrown it away..." explained the husband to his wife, and this time they threw the red crayon away in the trashcan outside of the house.
A few days passed, and the couple yet again found a crayon in the hallway. There were no children in sight, and it looked to be the exact same crayon that they threw away the other day. Of course, the couple thought it to be a little creepy and decided to check out the area where they always find the crayon. As they checked out the area, the two of them noticed what seemed to be a mark on the wall of the hallway - a mark of something being covered up underneath.
The couple decided to break down the wall, and to their surprise, they found a small empty room behind the wall, filled with a strange odor. With a flashlight, they peered inside, spreading light onto the walls. They could see that the walls were covered in writing from a red crayon, which read, "Mommy I'm sorry please let me out Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy Mommy..."
