I love my parents to death. I really miss them and four days back East was a breath of fresh air. A breath of COLD, fresh, air. I had it too well over here and now remember what it's like to be cold. Gas is also about a quarter more per gallon. And that bed was like sleeping on a bed of nails. So much I lost from home, but if I could play those games with people like I did at home I'd be happy forever. But my God I let go and ate the shit out of everything. That's a baaaaaad idea. Gotta get back into the habit of not eating out every day.
Back to work, with car behind me, and a new track. To get the hell out of there and a new job.
I am like two years late to the party, but I finally watched The Hunger Games. It is like Battle Royal meets The Running Man. Part I didn't quite understand about was with all the magic, Bowser, fireball cannons the game masters had and the stupid genetically/cyber created dog monsters. Those Fireballs were the worst. I would have bought that they sent in something to keep the game going, much like the Stalkers from The Running Man, or that there could be perhaps military agents around to make sure they didn't try to escape, but those two things were just too much. The fashion involved with the world of THG was hillarious. Everyone looked like what the two robbers in Les Miserables looked like. Of course my favorite character wasn't any main characters. Though Katniss was a damn good character. I went in with low bar expectations and the movie jumped over them with a long bit to spare. My favorite character was the mentor character played by Woody Harrelson and also the game announcers got me to laugh a bunch. Then the tragic character of Rue added an element to the movie it needed. I don't want to spoil the next part for me. I like to think that Katniss was playing the game more then actually getting romantically involved with the other district 12 tribute. Nothing says she can't be attached to this guy, but I would find it more clever that way. Guess I'll have to wait to see.
