i died for a while, and then i came back

really sorry for the 'long-time-no-see' thing. it's been a whirlwind of a summer, let me tell you. life in this small venus tourist trap can be pretty overwhelming, especially when you're getting drunk and singing karaoke a few nights a week. things just fall by the wayside, and you begin to lose grip on plenty of important things, like, well, being a healthy person and watching a lot of horror movies.

i've reformed my ways, i promise! i realize that an online presence is nothing without consistency. no one likes waiting with baited breath for the next blog entry; they want IT NOW. not that i'm saying i've got an online presence or anything. i've got like 4 blog entries, i'm a newborn with no friends.

to be honest, i haven't watched a lot of horror films lately. i re-watched the descent and decided that it's better on the second viewing, but that the protagonist is kind of awful and that i kind of hate her. CHECK.

i've been wrestling with a netflixed copy of 'last house on the left', but feel no desire to watch it. i watched JAWS again instead, you know? it's not calling my name. i know it's a pretty important staple of the genre, but i'm really not into snuff-film style. it really bugs me. like, don't count on me ever writing about cannibal holocaust, because i can't bring myself to watch a movie where actual animals get their faces cut off. i mean, i rescued our house hamster, popsicle, from certain death (by neglect from his former mom), and while i'm not a vegetarian/vegan, i was in the past, ok? i feel for creatures!
just not chickens. they're like bugs.

i have started watching twin peaks, but i feel like blogging about twin peaks has probably been done before a million times over, and also that 'cool' people post stills from the show on their tumblrs in order to really show off their good taste. while i do like my synth-jazz-weirdo lynch movies, i think i prefer elephant man over all of his other work anyway. that one really punches you in the heart, instead of just disorienting you/making you feel vaguely disgusted.

alright, ok, the ubiquitous "i'm still here" post is finished. i'll be back with a focused post tonight, since i'll be home from work early and will force myself to stop watching man vs. food in order to save this blog.
