ISP, Continue from last post, really long e-mail, and Cindy!
Well, on my last post I was talking about movies I watch.
I do like big movie as well, you know epic film. LOTR, HP, PoTC. The kind that looks good on big screen.
My favorite movie of all time is Silence of the Lamb. I like the book as well, actually I like all of the books, Hannibal, Red Dragon, Silence of the Lamb, as for Hannibal Rising, well, I didn't have time to read it yet. But I did catch a glimpse of what Lector's childhood tragedy from Hannibal already.
For some reason I like Ghosts of Mississippi, don't ask me why, because I have no idea.
I used to go to sleep watching Autopsy on HBO. It's a part of America Undercover series that they have. Autopsy talks about what else Autopsies, so there were murder victims, serial killer. They show actual footage too.
Another interest of mine : Dissociative Identity Disorder, or Multiple Personality Disorder. Movie that brought this on was Primal Fear, good movie, I loved it! However the one in this was only a genius boy mimic the symptoms and not really suffering from it.
Oh yeah, another one, courtroom drama. James Woods was so good in Indictment.
I can go on and on, so I'll save some for later.
Hey Cin,
I hope you feel better, but yeah when you get busy your old injuries tended to come back and haunt ya. Happened with my right elbow too. (A dog bit me several years ago, the bite didn't bother me as much as how many shots I had to get for it!) For some reason Friends wasn't all that amusing to me. I have a morbid sense of humor, so black comedy with some sense of irony will have a better chance of making me laugh. My friend loves Friends though.
I'll e-mail you in a few days.
I'm getting my ISP changed, so, I'm calling them to get the details tomorrow, (the new ISP) I need to know what promotional they have and all the little details, although my cousin uses this company and they are pretty good. I can get it up and running within 7 days. (so, now I'm calling them) Free modem. Good. Tomorrow I'm gonna pick up the application. And I better cancel the old one while I'm at it too.
Well, my birthday was last Saturday, and my mother went to see a medium. Yes, a medium. Anyhow, long story short, we got a bunch of things we have to do yet. *sigh* I wrote a long e-mail to 2 friends of mine about it. I'm not writing it here because it's so damn hard to explain. And this post will be like a short novella.
Not very pretty.
I really should take a picture to show them while I explain too. Might make it easier.
Nah..
I'm gonna go shower and watch Rendition now.
There, another favorite right now... Meryl Streep. Yeah, she's awesome. So far I've got...
Music of the Heart
Death Becomes Her
Kramer Vs. Kramer
A Cry in the Dark
Angels in America
The River Wild
Defending Your Life
Silkwood
Sophie's Choice
The House of the Spirits
Marvin's Room
The French Lieutenant's Woman
The Deer Hunter
Adaptations
The Devil Wears Prada

Surprise, surprise!!
Yesterday I got a couple of calls that I never thought I would ever going to get, and no, it was not a good thing.
One of them was my cousin, which I grew up with but didn't see for over ten years already. And he called me to borrow some money. All I can say is HELL NO!
I don't have the money to be throwing around, especially with someone I know I won't get any of it back, so no way in hell. I'm not that much of a masochist. I have my limit.
And then another call, from LCF, man, my gut is wicked nervous right then, and not in a good way. I didn't think of her for so long and I didn't expect to ever hear from her ever again. (and I thought that if I ever did it would be too soon, apparently, I shouldn't have thought that) It's been over 2 years, though I did have a feeling that I would be hearing from her.
Anyhow, moving on.
I went to see 1408 last night, it was good, I enjoyed it a lot. Very character driven, and it was like watching someone that's about to lose their mind and entering into the realm of insanity. Like watching people going slowly insane, it was good. :) There were a few moments here and there that gave me a scare, and that's saying a lot! I don't usually jump from seeing something popped up in a movie. But this movie made me jump a couple of times.
I did question my own sanity for going to a horror movie at 0:40am. And now I'm suffering for it, since I went to bed at 4:30am and then woke up at 7am went back to bed 8am and woke up again at 9:30am. I so hate my life right now.
Speaking of movie, I'm very much looking forward to Resident Evil : Extinction. I think Sat night will be a good night for it, :)
On the other note, I dropped by the bookstore and bought me a copy of The Devil Wears Prada last night, it's a good thing that the place close at 11pm, since I got out of the gym around 10:45pm. So far I enjoy the book.

Watching : Deja Vu
Well, my desktop (Phobos) is out to be reformatted, among other things, and so now I'm on my brand spanking new laptop, it's an Acer Aspire 4710G, which I've just picked up on Monday. I've been meaning to get it since new year (yeah, it's been that long) So, I finally got it, and well, I'm taking it to the store, to be used there, of course it'll consist of me surfing the web and read and write on it, while my mother plays solitair on it. It'll replace my other laptop which is a Dell that is about 4 years old, it still running fine, really, I just want a new one, and it's about time too... I still didn't take the plastic on the top off yet, but I'm considering some stickers..
Nah... it'd have to be a really cool sticker for me to put on this thing, I like things clean.
I'd my friend that I'd let her borrow that Dell for her to use for now, since she and her roommate is having problem, actually she didn't have problem, her roommate did, the kind that will probably put them on the different part of the country. The long story short was that her roommate (which once was her gf.) told her parents she won't go back home, she's gonna stay where she was and find work for a couple of years before she go home to help out, which really I do understand that, I mean they got her brother at home right now.. (which really didn't mean much from what I understand) But now, she's acting childish and stuff, now that it gets difficult. (short on money and shit) so now she's finding a reason to go home, which she's looking to my friend to provide. Although she still won't say it outright that she wanted to go home.
In truth I don't think she wanted to, but she doesn't want to make her own life difficult, which being at home will definitely prevent that. Now that she sees, really see how hard it will be. I understand her motive, but that doesn't mean she could drag my friend through shit for it. You don't wanna stay, don't, don't make other people suffer with you.
Anyhow...
I just found Lifehacker And found some really nicely organized home office, so I've decided that I'll organize and try to maximize my desk (which is rather small) space, first I am taking care of those clutter of wires. Time for a new set of keyboard and mouse too. so that's lesst 1 wire (I'm getting wireless desktop set thing from Logitec) I'm considering getting those wiretrack thing (the one you use running along the baseboard to conseal the wires) Maybe some pegboard, or corkboard. Let's what I can get tomorrow, I need to pick up a bunch of ziptie too. the one I got before were too small.
I also want to set up wireless network, just for my room, so I can hook up the game console to the net too. um... gotta save up the money, maybe a month or two.. gotta do some research too. Although the wireless gateway and adaptor are cheaper nowaday.
So much to do and so little time..
Tomorrow morning, picking up Harry Potter and The Deadly Hollow. :)

I found something I didn't think I would on Sat.
So, I was sick, yes, what else is new, and I still got dragged out so they can go shopping. Ok, so it was supplies shopping. On the way back I made a stop at the bookstore and usually I never find anything I read there, cause well, I long stop reading any novel in Thai (save for the precious few, like the 'Uma's Diamond that took about 10 years to write) But something caught my eye, a teenage romance novel thing. It marked at the top 'y-novel' and yes on the cover they have 2 girls. And another book, also marked y-novel has 2 guys. Anyhow, I bought one, interesting enough, cause it was Yuri novel and has a happy ending too. :) Although I probably wouldn't make it a habit of it.
I would post a summary but I doubt anyone would read. LOL
I still want that Nintendo Wii. *sigh*
