Shoot the Messenger

I spend a lot of time on the Internets and when I'm there I tend to have MSN open. I like to have a witty little phrase or quote in my personal message section. I've being doing it since before there was a personal message section which makes me undeniably old school. For serious!

So anyway today my personal message was "Currently planning to die alone" it's paraphrased from Diesel Sweeties and it reminded me of Donnie Darko which is a wicked movie. So like I changed it this morning and, as you do, completely forgot about it. But I logged on this evening and the first message I get is from this chick, Shazz, that I don't know in real life and have only talked to a few times on MSN but not recently. The message says "Die with me" I find this a little weird and then she continues "I tried dying alone= no fun" uhhh? Freaky much? The conversation then devolves into a bizarre argument about spelling, grammar and obnoxious formatting and misspelling as do so many promising endeavours in online communication.

Watched Aliens vs Predator. I hope I'm not one of those people who ruins every movie by butting in and pointing out how dumb or implausible something was. But it shits me no end when movies make no effort to be plausible, or make a glaring mistake. AVP wasn't too bad but I did take satisfaction in realising that if the Pred's used a metric time system then it's unlikely they would measure time in hours, minutes and seconds and therefore it's even more unlikely that the configuration of the hunting grounds would change every ten minutes.

Also I hate watching tv or a movie and knowing you recognise an actor from something else but not being able to pin it down. It's like trying to remember the lyrics to a song while listening to another song. So frustrating.
