The Iceman Cometh.
Heather went back to Syracuse today. Shit. I know she has to go back, but that one kind of crept up on me. And I really enjoyed having her around on a daily basis. And so I repeat...shit.
Which also means that I'll be going back to Binghamton in about a week, leaving:
A) My grandmother still in rehab (the physical kind, not the drug kind)
B) The comforts of home
C) The ability to be completely lazy
D) Free food (If you go to college, you know this is just as upsetting as anything else)
E) Lots of other stuff I'm too lazy to think about and list. Hence why C was so important.
Again, shit. It seems to be a motif to this post.
Otherwise, I learned an important lesson today. IMDB cannot always be trusted. 99% of the time the factual information is true enough, yes....but opinion-wise, well, its still just opinion. And opinions, as we know, are like assholes. Everyone's got one. That was a bit vulgar, but if I had said elbow instead of asshole, you wouldn't have laughed. So accept the asshole, accept that everyone poops, and we'll all be fine. Except for those of us who are constipated. Because they don't poop. And now this joke is old.
I mention IMDB, because of a film I just watched, entitled "The Chumscrubber". Those of you who just opened a new tab/window to go look it up on IMDB, please note the inherent irony in your actions, especially in light of what I'm about to write. The movie was excellent. I very much enjoyed it, and I'm fairly critical when it comes to cinema (and I almost always can back it up). Great satire, slightly over the top in points, but intentionally I think, and very subtle in other ways. Also always presenting two (or three!) sides to everything, and many times using a single symbol/metaphor in about 300 different ways. All in all, very good. IMDB had SCATHING reviews of it. They hated it! But why might you ask? And here's something else! Though it received a rating somewhere in the 6 range, most of the voters (over 50%!) voted it a 10! And the second largest category gave it an 8! We must rise up against this injustice!
CHUMSCRUBBER FOREVER!!!!
Those last two words may have been #1 on my "List Of Phrases I Will Never Get To Say"
...they didn't even get the point of the video game imagery in the movie. The character uses his head to fight off the zombies and "sub-humans". GET IT?!?!? The same way that a large portion of the message of the movie was to use your head to break free of the zombie-like lifestyle as portrayed by the townfolk? Sigh.
Again, shit.
Shitty shitty shit shit.
