Packing Fudge and Watching the Grudge

Ah, another Friday night for the ages. Get out of work about 12:15 AM, roll to the parking lot just in time to meet the crowd coming from the a show at the Unitarian Church around the corner and then proceed to stare at my car which is 50 feet away from me for 1/2 hour until it's my turn to be handled by the slow, ancient parking lot attendant named Alvin. I thought we were boys me and Alvin, but apparently not. All he had to do was throw me my keys and let me roll out, but NO, he makes me wait in line and freeze. And then he has the audacity to hand me my keys when he is ready and tells me to pull it out myself anyway. Fucker. No more tips for you my friend. I'm so glad I'm done with this lot in another 2 weeks. It's been a nightmare dealing with the lowest of the low in life. Parking Lot attendant is up there with Ditch Digger and Assembly Line work. 3rd grade education and a driver's license are the only requirements from what I can tell.

I got home at 1 AM, grabbed some pudding out of the fridge, made a cup of chocolate milk and put on the Grudge. I'm like a cat lady, minus the cats. My new goal, now that I've stopped eating fast food and smoking cigarettes, is to just get so fat that I have to be airlifted from my apartment. My life has become a cycle of shame. I watch a lot of TV, eat, sleep and ocassionally watch a movie to take a break from watching TV.

The Grudge. What a piece of shit that was. I couldn't even make out what the hell was going on for the first 45 minutes, too much movement in time to be cohesive. We're in the past, now were present day, now were in the past again, now were meshing the past with the present day. Some jumpy shit happens, but overall the story was trying to hard to be like the Ring and comes across as a second rate version of the Ring. In other words, I'm sure the original is a lot better and therefore you have no need to watch this junk. Sarah Michelle Gellar...what's the attraction? She's a piss poor actress and seems to me to be void of a personality. I can't recall seeing her in anything that was even watchable...maybe I Know What You Did Last Summer like 10 years ago?
