Saturday, April 5

Ahh...Saturday once more, although it started out quite like a weekday (read: I woke up at 6 in the morning). For the life of me I can't seem to ever wake up late these days. Maybe it's a good thing. Working's conditioned me to be like that, I guess. Was planning to go catch Willard in a cinema with my sis, but since everyone's paranoid about SARS these days, I think I'd better lie low for awhile. Being extra susceptible to flu-type infections doesn' t help either. Went to get lunch at Carrefour and saw a few people already walking around with surgical masks while shopping. Might get myself a box..or two. In some weird, twisted way, it reminded me of the combined plots of various zombie movies I've seen: horrible virus/gas/bacteria transforms mankind into the walking undead, hungering for human flesh and in the process forgetting how to walk and instead adopt the patented Zombie Shuffle(TM). Oh, and in the case of survival-horror type games (Resident Evil) they forget how to talk too, instead using the patented Zombie Moan (TM)..eg OOOUHHHHHH...Must be hard, being a Zombie. I know I'm watching too many movies now....

Anyways, have decided not to spend all of Saturday in. Will be going for my weekend gaming session at my girlfriend's cousin's apartment. He just ordered a couple of really funny RPGs online, and they arrived a few days ago. One of them's titled Munchkin, and it's basically a funny take on tabletop RPGs. You get weapons like The Limburger and Cheese Sandwich of DOOM, The Rat on a Stick, and Platform Sandals of Light. Should be good for a few laughs. And the best thing is, you don't have to be a RPG freak (read:geek) to understand it! Very user friendly..Of course, I could always kick some butt on the PS2..heheh.

Weather's really not helping. Hot and humid...what I wouldn't give for a 10 degree reduction in temperature..Even my brain seems to be slowing down. Urgh. The next post might be a while in coming (and don't let me get started on my movie review!) but do not fear, Constant Reader. I won't let you down. Expect at least a little itty bitty (in a polka dot bikini?) update before the day ends. Have a good weekend out there! Ahem, before I go, a Random Philosophical Thought:

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001)

Cheers!
