Into the wilderness...

Well, off I go, to be surrounded by nature and crazy uncles. Well, not technically my uncle, but close enough. I'm going up to Lake Nipissing to have some time cut off from the outside world, reading, conversing with Joel and his family, and ... well, that's about it. And I'm okay with that.

Biku, I'll be on your doorstep sometime Friday afternoon, although I'll try and call first.

I just finished watching 'The Faculty', a v. v. cheesy horror flick made back in 1998 or so with actors like Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett, and Usher Raymond before they became famous for (repectively) being able to roll their eyes back in their head and have homosexual undertones large enough to require their own province, rewriting American history, and not having a last name. It was cheesy schlock where a bunch of high school misfits have to save the world from evil, bizarrely thirsty aliens (who, in a move only Americans would make, start their takeover of the world with a small town high school football team) by forcing them to snort caffeine pills. No, really.

But you'll be glad to know it all ends well - the aliens are killed by the geek and everybody gets a boyfriend, even the suspected-to-be-homosexual misfit girl who, inexplicably, dyes her hair blonde and starts wearing purple skirts with matching sweater sets for the end of the movie. The delinquent drug-manufacturing no-gooder (think Bender, Josh Hartnett-ified and with a gun) becomes respected by joining the football team, although he indicates he is a still a dreamy hunkboat of a rebel by continuing to smoke.

So in other words, the aliens from outer space give up their bid to take over America when they realize that all the teens are already soulless and under the absolute control of cookie-cutter consumerism. Yay!

No wait, I mean BLARG!

Thank you, Space Channel, for providing me with a late-night example of why I need to go away from technology for a little while.
