Masterbath Day 4

After advising me that he would be in around 8:15 or 8:30, Elmer called this morning at 8:10, whilst I was on the bog, to tell me would be here in 35-40 minutes. Naturally, he arrived at 9:30 instead. I am curious why he didn't just tell me he would be here at 9:30 - 10:00, as Montgomery Scott would have, and then I could be delighted when he ( Read more... )

Well here's hoping you're not sleep-cramming fibreglass insulation up your schnoz!

I thoroughly enjoyed Shaun of the Dead, so I will take that as a recommendation. Did you see Paul, Pegg's film about the alien? Quite cute, I thought, and worth a look if you haven't.

I get into trouble for laughing out loud at inappropriate moments in horror films, or at moments of contrived suspense, so I sympathize with your lone chuckle.

I saw a review for Paul, but have not seen the actual movie,so thanks for the recommendation.

The great thing about horror movies, otoh, is that they are demonstrably _fake_,so laughter is reasonable. There are no vampires, no evil ghosts, demons, aliens with anal probes, blobs, things, etc., in the real world, so on some level, your brain knows it's an elaborate put-on. You are totally looking for the strings. Okay, I am totally looking for the strings, and when the movie gets really far afield into the reality that includes blood-sucking body-snatchers from the planet Ceti Alpha Five, and then someone says, with evident and straight-faced horror, "They sucked out his brains!" I laugh out loud.

I have a theory that laughing also dispels nervous tension for some people, definitely for me, so when it gets too tense, I start laughing so I don't freak out.
