Well, the Spider Incident succeeded in thoroughly distracting me from my Random Ramblings, which I wanted to get done in a timely manner. And I thought I was recovering from the Incident well, until last night. I was walking around downstairs in the dark with my dog, which I do most every night as a summer vacation tradition, when I walked into the bathroom. Since it was completley dark around, I didn't bother to turn on the light, but I still noticed there was no toilet paper left. So I start to leave the bathroom, when I think 'Hey, what if a spider was using the toilet?'
Why my mind would ask that question, I do not know. It has it's own little life up there in my head. But I ended up thinking about a giant hairy spider sitting on the toilet, wearing a black jack dealer's outfit (again, don't know why) and reading the newspaper... That is not an okay thought to be having right before going to sleep.
Back to my other Ramblings!
#2: Angel and Demons!
After I got back home, we decided to go see a movie. My dad suggests Angels and Demons, which I did want to see, but I wanted to see Star Trek more (and Star Trek's been out longer so I'd have less time to still see it). But my dad says my sister's already seen the movie, and by this point in my life I've fought enough battles over the movie theater to learn that we see the movie my sister wants to see (but I get to push her out of the seat I want in the theater, hehehe). She saw Watchmen three times, she can't go see Star Trek a second time?
The best part was that Start Trek started at 5:10 and Angels & Demons started at 5:45, and we were getting ready to go around 4:30 so plenty of time to see either movie. At 5pm, when my dad finally goes to find out what the heck is going on with my sister who's voluntarily incommunicado, he finds out she has no intention of going to see either movie. Which means if we had left at 4:30 when we were supposed to, we could have seen Star Trek. *sigh*... Yet another movie that would be sweet to see on the big screen that I do not get to see on the big screen...
BUT I did enjoy Angels and Demons. I will try to avoid any spoilers, but there was this one character I liked surprisingly much and - I can't go on without giving any spoilers. Okay don't read further if you don't want to spoil the movie:
Are you sure you want to spoil the movie?
One last chance?
Are you ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY SURE you want the movie to be COMPLETELY AND IRREVERSIBLY spoilt for you?
Oookay, don't say I didn't warn you.
So, coming from a catholic family/county but not being catholic myself, I'm aware of a lot of the short-comings of the catholic religion, meaning that when I see catholics in film I tend to have a 'meh' attitude. So when I saw the Carmerlengo in Angels and Demons, I was like 'meh'. But then, his character grew on me and I was thinking 'What is this? A high-powered catholic figure who seems to care about people more than upholding silly traditions?' And I was all like, 'Yeah, this is a catholic I can get behind - in a non-conversion sense'. But then the movie took its course and I was left thinking 'Aw man, not only did it turn out he's NOT a person who cares about people more than upholding silly traditions, but he's psycho too?' They just couldn't give me a catholic figure I could respect, could they? No no, that would be far too much...
I still enjoyed the movie though, looking past the huge scientific error with the whole anti-matter thing.
(The movie's totally spoilt for you now, isn't it?)
Speaking of science, I'm (or rather my dad is) watching a History Channel documentary on how penicilin was first made. Turns out it came from a moldy cantelope, not moldy bread. But it's turning my off because they keep saying 'fun-ji' and not 'fun-guy'. I don't care how you want to pronounce it, you will pronounce it as I want to hear it! If it's pronounced 'fun-gus' with a soft 'g', then it should be pronounced 'fun-guy'!
