Damn Blockbusters. Well, actually, not "damn Blackbusters." More like "Damn people who rent DVDs, fuck them up and then return them to the dismay of the next viewer." Rented Uzumaki last night, and watched as the town went down into a spiraly madness. Right at the scene when the girl's father comes back from the riverbed with mud already cursed by Uzumaki (which pretty much guarantees him a nasty demise) the DVD skipped all the way TO THE ENDING CREDITS with about a good half-hour to go. "WTF?" I thought, as I removed the DVD thinking all it needed was a good cleansing. WTF indeed. All the king's horses and men couldn't clean all of the scratches off this DVD. And when I mean scratches, I don't mean those thin scratches you see on DVDs sometimes. I mean SCRATCHES. As in someone let their damn cat use the DVD as a scratching post. As in you could actually see chips missing out of the damn thing. How the hell the thing even PLAYED to the middle of the movie was completely beyond me. Took the cursed movie back to Blockbusters, where they let me take out another film. Unfortunately, that was their only copy of Uzumaki, so we didn't get to see the rest of the damn film. Which I'm pretty pissed off about, seeing how I invested time in it, it was getting interesting, and I really, really wanted to know WHAT WAS UP WITH THAT KID WHO CAME IN THE CLASSROOM ALL SLIMED UP LIKE A DAMN SNAIL AND WHY NO ONE SEEMED TO NOTICE THIS. I intend to hunt this movie down at another Blockbusters to finish it, but damn. People, if you rent a DVD it is not yours. Other people would like to watch that movie after you, and we don't appreciate getting a movie after your lazy ass left it out, scraped it across the floor, let the cat scratch it up, etc., and we get to the middle of the movie and can't finish watching it!

Happy New Year, everyone! Hope everyone had a happy and safe one. Stayed home and celebrated NYE with Ronin and Kupo. And a good thing too, some drunk asshole in a Audi (with no insurance, of course, even though an Audi costs a pretty penny and you would THINK he would have insurace) ran into a cab and killed both the pasenger and the cab driver. Now that's a mess. You go out for NYE and think that since you don't want to drink and drive you will do the responsible thing and hop in a cab, only to be killed by SOME YUPPIE ASSHOLE who wants to drink, speed, and hit your cab. I hope they give this asshole life+50 years. There's a reason why the older you get the more you look at NYE as being amateur night. Because there's wall to wall assholes out who want to drink and drive when not involved in active assholery. Plus, watching the fireworks from your kitchen window is pretty swank. Only 2 more weeks until the Mac gets fixed. What really sucks is that I've lost most of my internet links...and I have to basically reinstall EVERYTHING. Not to mention that glorious collection of Old School House Music I USED to have is gone, gone GONE. But don't feel sorry for me. If I could, I would kick my own ass, that's what I get for not backing up. Especially when I have a Superdrive.
