The things in my head go ’round and ’round

This is my life. You can’t have it.


Please do not send in the clowns

Let’s just get one thing clear right from the get go.

I am not a fan of scary movies.

I talk about the zombies in the park out behind our house, but I am not one to watch them on a movie. They are just way too creepy. That being said, MLW, The Princess, and I went to watch “Cloverfield” this evening. What a great movie. All of us thoroughly enjoyed it.

For those of you who don’t know what it is about, I am not going to tell you. So there. Actually, it is a cool story about survival, and how people react in a crisis. And that is all I am going to tell you about it.

Other than you should go see it.

Back to my story concerning my fear of scary movies. I even went to the extent of trying to watch the first “Resident Evil” movie the other night, to the amusement of MLW. She doesn’t get scared. I really want to watch the fourth movie in this series as it looks like just a plain ole apocalypse type movie. So, my thought process was, if I can watch the first one, I can desensitize myself to the zombies.

I didn’t work that way. I could only watch the first 45 minutes of the movie before I had to turn the channel. It was just way too gory.

Ok

So, I am digging on this theme.  For the moment.

I am kind of watching the Bourne Ultimatum.  Kinda watching, because it is the same smack em around bourne movie that we have all come to love.  And it doesn’t take a whole lot of attention.  I would love to be as comfortable in all of the foreign cities he wanders around in, as he is.

Knowing full well that I am talking about a fictional character.  See, I do have a firm grip on reality.

somewhat.

The age of the cities in Europe and the Middle East astonishes me.  As an American, I have such a tenuous grasp on the age of my surroundings.  Even with Philly near by, the age of some of those buildings is only around 200 years old.  Some edging 300, but the most around 200.  Some of the cities in this movie are 2 and 3 times that age.

Amazing.

Namaste.
