The Uninvited

Last night I went to watch The Uninvited. I had a really big craving for popcorn so it seemed like the most appropriate thing to do. While I was waiting around for the people to clean out the cinema, Shuing called me, and as expected, asked me what had been up with not hanging out with them lately. So it appears that Bob hasn't told them, and I bet when they discussed it he just pretended he didn't know, what a dickhead.

Anyway, I just said I had been busy because of work, which he seemed to buy - for now. Don't know how much longer I can keep this up. Michael L's birthday and Shuing's birthday are both in the coming week. Guess I'll just have to make an obligatory appearance and not talk to Bob.

I was talking to Tracy on MSN the other day and she asked me what I was doing for my birthday. Don't know why she asked that since it's still a while away, but I hope it just passes without anyone noticing.

Anyway, the movie was great. The twist was not original, but it wasn't expected either. It made me want to go over the whole movie again to make sense of it. I think it's the only horror film where guys are invited to think of a lesbian threesome amongst the co-stars. As a mental sub-plot throughout the movie, I couldn't decide which one of the three main actresses was the hottest one.

But hmmm, I'm still trying to figure out why the movie is called 'The Uninvited'.

This morning I went for a one mile run again. I left at 10:01 and finished at...10:08!!! Seven minutes!!! Well technically seven-something minutes, but it's not my fault my phone didn't have a stop watch. Kinda sad how my best time ever will go down in history without the seconds. I felt like I was going faster than normal at first, and then when I started the last stretch, I checked the time.

10:07. Great, it feels like I'm running so much faster yet I'm still going to only make it to the eight minute mark. I must've under-estimated it from the last time I did it.

Wait a fucking minute. I started at 10:01. Now is only six minutes. You can still make seven minutes!!!


And with that, I pushed myself to the bus stop which marked the mile. I conjured up all the anger that had accumulated from losing at the casino and propelled myself forward. Not a long-term motivation strategy, but it had to do for now.

I wanted to go for a shoot around, but it was kinda gloomy and I wanted to rest my wrist, which hasn't bothered me for a while now. I decided to walk to the gym, and when I got to the shopping centre I bumped into Kate who was buying bread. She looked like she wasn't in the mood for talking, so I quickly excused myself and left.

After gym I went home, changed and headed out with the car looking to buy a set top box so I could watch some NBA games after my failed attempt at the HDTV USB thing. A told me it was $30 at Bing Lee so I went there, only to find the cheapest one at $70. I had walked in with the intention of bargaining with them, willing to pay at most $50, but I seriously doubted they'd go from $70 to $30, so I left. I checked out Dick Smith's upstairs, which was even more expensive (nothing under $100).

I decided to drive to the shopping centre near me, and checked out the Dick Smith's there, which had the cheapest one at $60. I then checked out K-Mart which had one for $50 but it was the display one which they couldn't sell. I then went to Target and couldn't find a suitable one, then decided my last option would be Big W, and if they didn't have it I'd just go back to Dick Smith's at $60.

At Big W I managed to find one for $40!! I also bought a pack of chips, some popper drinks to take to work, and a can of spray thing you use on your tyres to make them shiny.

I was pretty excited with my purchases, and decided to try the spray thing on my car in the car park, even though it was raining. I didn't know it came out as foam, so my car looked pretty strange with one wheel covered in foam as I drove off, lol. I'm sure the rain washed it all off almost immediately anyway.

Upon arriving home I started setting up the set top box, and got it working after some struggle, but now it can't work with the DVD player at the same time, grrrr.
