So on Friday, Dave and I went to the cinema to see Underworld: Evolution. Now don’t get me wrong; it was a good film, but it left me feeling a bit kinda like… “was it good or was it not?” For anyone who’s never seen the first one, I definately recommend that you do, otherwise the second will make virtually no sense what-so-ever. The sequel had a lot of talking, then lots of action, then lots of more talking (a lot of it confusing), then more action sequences, etc… But on the whole, I think it was a good film. I just felt that there was more that they could have done with it.

Dave’s response was pretty similar, except with one exception; he described it as “Uncomfortable Porn”. I was slightly confused, except for the porn part. In this film there is nudity, including a sex scene with Kate Beckinsale (which was quite a surprise, especially as the director is her real-life husband). According to Dave, any form of pornography that leaves you feeling like you should be watching it at home rather than in a large room surrounded by other people is considered “Uncomfortable Porn”.

I did think it was quite funny that the entire room went silent during the sex scene. I noticed a lot of couples in there, quite a few guys and some girls. I think that a lot of the guys in couples were silent because it was probably like “My girlfriend/wife’s here and I shouldn’t be looking – but I like Kate Beckinsale and… my god is she… she is… Mustn’t look. Mustn’t look. Crap, I think she noticed….” and their partner is probably just silent because they’re giving them the “evils”.

Then there’s the single guys, like Dave, who just consider it “Uncomfortable Porn”. And finally there were two women not far behind us who wouldn’t stop talking. I couldn’t make out what they were saying but it was probably either comparing themselves to her, calling her a slut, or talking about something completely unrelated. Or I suppose they probably just found it to be uncomfortable as well, so talking about something else was probably just a way of dealing with that. Personally, there’s only so far I want to go into this or think about this, and I think I passed that point about a paragraph ago.

Anyways, fast forward to Saturday; Dave’s dad comes by the house to help us install the bathroom. We managed to get the sink installed quite easily (by “we”, I mean Dave and his Dad… it was too crowded for us all to be working on it). However, that was the easy part (especially for me). Then we turned on the water and yes, there were leaks. Dave’s Dad managed to fix those. Then there was the toilet… We needed to drill a new hole into the back to attach it to the wall. Suffice to say, drilling through porceline isn’t easy, and a bit broke off. Not to worry though, because he managed to get it perfect the second time round. I noticed that a lot of the porceline had turned into a fine white powder after being drilled. I came up with a theory which I shared with Dave’s Dad. Dave’s Dad has decided never to listen to my theories ever again. He almost asked me questions about the Osmosichicken theory from my last post, but decided that it would be best for him if he didn’t.

Basically, I asked him what would happen if someone injested porceline? He said “Not much” so I came up with a theory… What if we sold porceline dust to coke addicts?!? Think about it – we’d get loads of money (we win) and we wouldn’t be feeding their coke addiction, which means that they don’t die (they win). So as you see, if you follow the math; (we win) + (they win) = everybody wins!

Dave’s Dad wasn’t impressed.

But then we couldn’t find the nails that we’d just bought. When we eventually did, we found that the drill-bits we’d bought were too big – after drilling holes in the wall. So we got new ones, but they too went missing. In fact, this was the day that everything went missing. Nails, screws, drill-bits, stanley knife; all gone.

And still, there were leaks. What’s worse is that the toilet kept overflowing because the shut-off valve inside didn’t work. So again, another trip to the shops. Anyway, as far as I know, everything’s fine now.

Then there’s today…

…which I’ll talk about in my next post later tonight, because I’m just about to watch “Lost” for the first time. Yes, that’s right – one of the most talked-about series I haven’t seen, because I’ve been too busy with shows like Smallville! Which reminds me, for those of you in the US, check it out next week (January 26^th) because it’s the 100th episode;
