No matter where I go, they will find me and it was especially apparent in SE Asia where you could see mosquitoes dancing around on my clothing even during the day. Needless to say I went everywhere in jeans and my fleece even though it was 75 with high humidity. When mosquitoes find an opening on me, they stick their proboscis in me. My immune system doesnt like that and it flips out on the mosquito spit that slips into my bloodstream leading to a huge itchy wheal opening up where she had her way with me. I've found several ways to treat the mosquito bites, but i've always wanted to figure out what made me so much more appetizing than any of the thousands of other people that were around me at the same time, and now these people are starting to home in on what these little bastards are smelling on me. I hope better repellents come out of this because that other crap ain't working.

There aren't that many movies that have disappointed quite like The Blair Witch Project. Not to say that there havent been tons of other bad movies, but few movies have so polarized its viewers into camps of either "loved-it-because-it-left-a-brick-in-my-pants-so-I-gotta-tell-everyone-to-watch-it" OR "cant-believe-I-paid-10-bucks-to-sit-through-2-hours-of-that-and-get-a-headache". I'm one of the weak-minded fools that Obi-Wan Kenobi was taking about and I get into movies fairly easily so I kinda liked Blair Witch. The reason why I suddenly thought of Blair Witch was because of a new movie that I saw called [Rec] which was similar in certain respects and superior in many others.
Originally, I got wind of this through a new site I found called screenrant.com which is a pretty good place for movie news in general. [Rec] was filed under one of the writers' top 5 movies that scared the hell out of me so I had to give it a go. I wouldnt read the writer's review of it until after you've seen it because there are a few spoilers, but this movie is not the intellectual mind-bender either so it won't hurt too much except it might ruin one of the surprise moments. [Rec] hasn't had a formal analysis on rottentomatoes yet, but did a great job of building up characters you can sorta empathize with and also added extra dimensions of realism with the hysteria, paranoia, and racism. Basically, all of the ugly truths that would come out in moments of chaos, fear, and crisis appear plus the movie makes no attempts to show the chivalry and honor that separates us from the animals. All in all, it was a horror flick that was fairly believable because of the hilarious characters that were portrayed in the film and the interesting cinematography.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to take care of a brick.
