Cool Cherry Cream

Was good. Actually, it must have been really good, because I expected it to be good, and it lived up to my expectations, and when does that ever happen?!

Last night, I had a lucid dream that I controlled extremely well. Some man had taken an ID card from me and was checking it for something and I didn’t trust him. He took a long time with it, but eventually gave it back and started to leave. I looked at the card and it was now blank. I started to get the OMGWTF horrified feeling where normally you would wake up, but I somehow overcame it and realized it was a dream. The guy looked at me all like “mwhahah, you don’t actually exist, what are you doing to do now?” but I was like “pfft, whatever, you ain’t real”. And then I sent him away and sent everyone else away that I didn’t want to deal with and turned the dream into an empty room and carried on as I wished.

At a few parts of the movie, the thought entered my mind that *I* was dreaming and I started feeling nauseous and paranoid. Though this was an unsuccessful inception because I was aware the idea was coming from the movie.

The ending. No one has mentioned that clearly Dom (lol… font stuff…) knows whether it’s a dream or not — putting aside that the top was never a reliable totem for him. He knows how it felt, so he knows the truth. Also, was partly expecting Michael Caine to go and pick it up and then it would be all he’s a villain!

How did the wake up from the first dream? Normally? There’s a bit I’ve read about the driver waking up from the kick because we don’t see him come out of the car, so the rest would all just wake up because the dream is no longer asleep? Is that how it works? Whatevs.

I hate movies where it’s all dudes and I can’t figure out who is who. That problem did not occur here. Just the same, when Michael Caine was like “I’ve got a smart kid for you” I was like “please let it be a chick” just because it’s nice when chicks are smart. But predictable because you wouldn’t expect a girl to be the smartest in the class so Hollywood always does that. But yes. Cool.

Maltesers are much better when they are warm. The coating just falls off.

Wouldn’t it have been easier to just kill the kid or something?

Seriously, her name wasn’t “Moll” as in “Molly”?

Mal and Cobb created an awfully ugly world. Unless it was just kind of aged and abandoned since they hadn’t been there for so long. I’ll buy that.

I hope Christina was doing a parody in that video. If she wasn’t, it sucked; if she was, it was awesome.

Yeah. ‘Sabout it. Good movie.

Zynga’s newest game is FrontierVille. Long ago (like, maybe a week ago, since the game’s only been out less than a month), I noticed one of the feed posts for FrontierVille had a link that said “get some wood” and I giggled to myself. Now I realize they all say things like “get hammered”, “get nailed”, “get goosed”. And one of the feed pictures is of a chick lying on a bed, which at first I thought was a sort of FrontierVillian post, but is actually real.

Should this bother me? I mean, I think little kids play this game, but I don’t think they’re going to “get” any of that. It’s just that I’m used to the Neopets kinda thing where they get rid of sexy looking faeries and slot machines and anything slightly risqué.

I never learned the shortcut for making an é on the numberpad. I’m mean the short shortcut. I still use Alt+0233. There is one that’s only three digits, but I forget. Oh, 130. Nevermind. But 0233 has a special place in my 8 year-old’s heart.

So yeah. FrontierVille. Shocking.

This has been bugging me a lot lately. Especially because it’s so simple to do correctly.

This is wrong: 1990’s
This is right: 1990s

This is wrong: 90’s
This is wrong: 90s (unless you are not referring to the decade)
This is right: ’90s

Easy. Only use an apostrophe when you are putting it in place of something else.

Bonus

An apostrophe used to replace something, at the beginning or end of a word, always looks like this (9-shaped, not 6-shaped).
