I just watched Stephen King's Rose Red Part 1. It's about this old mansion in Seattle that's quite haunted. According to what I managed to catch on Unlocking Rose Red (the documentary companion to the TV movie), the TV movie is Stephen King's own interpretation of the actual expedition to the house.

It's fairly interesting and I can't wait to watch the next and last 2 parts of it tomorrow night. What was it that the lead actress said...? Some house are just born bad, or something like that. And then the guy who plays the guy who own the estate replied when asked why he didn't like the house, he said, "The house eats my relatives!"

Funny.

And yet, it did manage to "consume" the college reporter sent there by that petty Professor Miller to get pictures to prove that the expedition's made up of loony people.

Now I normally don't go out of my way to watch scary and suspense movies, but this one was such an interesting "specimen" if you will that I really wanted to watch it. It's a TV movie based on actual events, so that's an added bonus.

I'm more of action and adventure movie, sometimes romantic comedy, sometimes scientific venture kinda gal. Heck, I sat through that expedition of Dr. O'Shea to find the Giant Squid! And they did manage to find some larvae -- after some hits and misses -- though none survived the transit to shore. They did find some other kinds of deep sea squids and they managed to survive all the way to shore, and the plus side of this is that WHEN they manage to get live giant squid larvae they'll know how to take care of it.

Very interesting... I didn't manage to watch it the first time around so I really took the time to watch it this time. Dang, I just remembered that I missed the FBI files at Discovery when I watched Rose Red... though I think I saw that particular case file before.


So now what...?

Do spirals end? Cycles, just by their names suggest that it is a continuous process. But spirals? The way a tornado behaves is like a spiral, like water going down a funnel -- it starts somewhere above and ends below.

I like to think of what I "feel" as a spiraling cycle, from up to down and up and down... well, never mind that. I can't get in the mood to be all philosophical and psychological and moody to explain my moods. For some reason, I'm okay.

Then again, I had this thought induced dream, something that I find myself to be fond of doing. This time though I dreamt that I was a ghost; I could have been dead or in a comatose or something.

One version of this particular dream was that I exchanged souls with someone, and this woman just took over my body and did things for the whole week! That was our deal, she has one week with my body and I get to be a free agent and so whatever I want to do as a spirit. So the first thing I did was go "visit" some of my friends before I headed off to jolly old England. Moaning Myrtle has some competition ^__^

Second version of the dream was that I was either dead or in comatose, in that my spirit left my body and I wandered off to all the places that I wanted to go to -- Egypt, China, Japan, Scotland, Antartica, Ireland, England, South Africa, Croatia... everywhere! And it was fun! To ba able to soar through the air and go where you wish; observing people was the best part! They could be really good and really bad at times.

But that's people for you... reminds me of what Kay said in Men in Black: a person is a rational and intelligent being, people are panicky, mad, a mob if you will. Now, I can't rightly remember the exact wording of it but that was the gist of it.


Dang, I have to research something and I can't rightly remember what it is! I know it's important... but I can't associate it as yet. Damn.
