Eddie Kim will kill you if you let him.

Tonight was decent.  I hung around Amber's house for a few hours, emerging periodically above the surface of her pool for air.  After spending a little bit of time there, we got dinner and then headed to Orangeville.  I'd gotten advance tickets for Snakes on a Plane at 9:45.  I assumed that such a long-awaited picture would surely sell out, so I wanted to play it safe.  I've been looking forward to this movie with (occasionally) feverish anticipation since sometime in January, so it was pretty exciting to finally go to see it.  After running into about 8 different people over a span of about 30 seconds, we finally went into the theatre.

I've been building this movie up for awhile, ever since I started playing the gag audio-trailer for practically everyone I knew.  I went in half expecting to be disappointed; to find that the movie didn't live up to the hype that I (along with the rest of the internet) had created.  I have to say that this movie didn't disappoint somehow.  I'll just create a little checklist:

A villain named Eddie Kim? YES
An annoying little dog being swallowed alive? YES
Samuel L Jackson wielding a taser?
     ""              ""               "         " speargun? YES
     ""              ""               "         " home-made flamethrower? YES
     ""              ""               "         " broken bottle on a stick? YES
A smug British man being crushed to death? YES
A child being bit by a deadly snake? YES
Indiana Jones reference? YES
The Sports reporter from Anchorman? YES
THE line? YES
Some guy getting a high heel to the throat? YES
Samuel L Jackson surfing? Somehow, YES

There was far more to this movie, but I shouldn't say much more for fear of giving away something integral to the plot line.  I worry about this because I assume that absolutely everybody I know will go to see this movie.  I also think everybody I don't know should go to see this movie.  If you're reading this when you could feesibly be watching this movie, you should stop reading this now and then go to watch Snakes on a Plane.  It might not be the best movie I've ever seen, but it's certainly the best movie that's come out within recent memory.

Anyway, it's 4:00 in the morning and, once again, I have nothing to do and absolutely no desire to sleep.  As if often the case on nights like this, I find myself half-watching another Rocky movie and seeking some level of amusement somewhere on the internet.  As usual I haven't been able to find anything that really interests me.  I tried playing Civilization for awhile, but I became incredibly bored with that surprisingly easily.  I actually deleted it since I can't really picture myself ever wanting to play it again.  I'm sure I'll change my mind.

I wanted to turn this into another of my 'late-night rambling' entries, but I'm not really in the mood tonight.  That kind of feeling comes and goes, just like most feelings I suppose.  I'll just go back to watching this movie.  I hate how Paulie is so angry.  I guess he's an integral part of the series, but I've never really liked him.

I'm posting this survey thing because I think it's important for everyone to know what seduction style I have. 
Your Seduction Style: Au Natural
You rank up there with your seduction skills, though you might not know it. That's because you're a natural at seduction. You don't realize your power! The root of your natural seduction power: your innocence and optimism. You're the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world. Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in. You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you? You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways. Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you. As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you.

What Kind of Seducer Are You?
