You think YOU had ME!

Unbeknownst to those who could never seem to stay up all night on Christmas eve (Reimbursor?) the presence of morning breath does not mean that you in fact slept at night. It usually happens about 4 AM whether you are asleep or awake, except that it is worse if you are awake, because you can feel it coming on and tasting oh so tasty, like an old MacDonald's Hamburger, not Cheeseburger.

So, I have watched half of Open Water, and so far it is pretty good. I don't know how they did some of the shoots, because I heard there were no CG creatures used in the filming, and those sharks were really close and big.

Also I've realized that it is not so much the scary movie that scares me, but it is the thinking about the scary movie after I've seen it. In particular it is the thinking about the scary movie a 4 AM (about morning breath time) and imagining Samara coming out the tv at my work or being behind a door I'm checking. Or softly humming the Resident Evil music while I make a snack all by myself when I'm getting sleepy. Despite these things I have decided that above all other movies at this time I want to see Constantine, possibly because it could be so horrifically bad, or this might be a reflection of the poor selection of movies currently at the theatre. Possibly I feel some pressure to "like" or "want to see" at least some movie out, else I could be labeled as one who does not like movies.

In conclusion, if you work at night, or get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, or to comfort a kiddie, remember the aliens, zombies, little girls with black hair, and people whose eyes can turn white on demand, but above all else remember your ten demon bag.

I prefer to remember scary men who break into your house and tie you up in the bathroom with glass tape, ala Unbreakable. Happy thought indeed.
