Am I a bad person?
I spent last night watching movies rented from Jumbo. A former housemate of mine works there, so I didn't pay for anything. I rented: Boondock Saints, Gattaca, and Men In Black II. I decided to watch the movies at my parent's place for a few reasons.. 21 degrees instead of 27, and 46 inch screen instead of 17. I think I made the right call.
Oh, as a sidenote, Justin and Heidi Dee's wedding reception was happening at the Olympic Harbour Restaurant last night. I know neither of them read this (actually, nobody does except me and scotty, maybe greg on occassion), but regardless, I wish them both well. I could have crashed the reception, and they probably wouldn't have minded - but I would'v ebeen wearing a bathing suit and a shocker t-shirt. As much as they wouldn't have cared, I'm sure their parents and other old relatives would have objected (had they gotten the joke).
Anyways, I got to my place, made some beefaroni, and sat down to the Boondock Saints. The title of this entry comes from this spot on the evening. At the part where the two irish blokes and Rocco are sitting in his kitchen and Rocco slams his hand on the table, causing a firearm to discharge into the cat sitting on the table, I had to pause the movie because I was laughing so hard. I mean, I don't really like cats. However, I still don't think it deserved to be reduced to a large red smear on the wall. As funny as that smear was. I think the part that really got me was the diminutive 'meow' heard when the gun goes off. Either way, I had to pause the movie for at least 5 minutes until I could see again.
I also watched Gattaca last night. I originally saw this film in Grade 12 as part of my OAC Science in Society course. I didn't get a lot of what they were talking about at the time (I thought GM Foods was simply food manufactured by either General Mills or General Motors - the hubbub about both confused me a great deal). Now, being a biology major, watching the movie actually scares me. Maybe I'll focus on this a little more later.. I don't want anything too heavy to take away from the awesomeness of a cat splatter on the wall.
I leave you now with one of the cooler pictures I've taken. This was taken with my phone, so the quality probably isn't as good as it should be. It was last Monday, and I was walking down to the pub for some dinner. The sun was setting and there was a line of clouds across the sky. As the sun set, the clouds turned more and more pinkish red. At one point, when I was standing beside the pub, the majestic city hall beside me appeared to be on fire. Hence this picture.
Enjoy! It's nice to be back!
