saw "oooooooooooooooooooooook! lahoma" last night. it was surprisingly (for a mts production) good. everyone did a really nice job, congratulations. after the uno's partay, went to marge's and watched the ring. didn't think it was all that scary, to tell you the truth. maybe the orginal is scarier. sadly, marge had to get up at 7:30 this morning to go to work, so i just woke up too and went home. hence this lovely obnoxious, early post.
also? i went to dinner with diana, and squirted ketchup on my nose. stop laughing. it was a weird bottle, i tell you. a bottle of jet-propelled ketchup. or something.
right.
i think i'm going to go check out the proposal for the monroe scholars thing. need to get cracking. emailing my professor from last semester would probably be a good idea, no?
TEH RING OMG
goth shanahan girl: dude, there's like this video, and if you watch it, it will like, kill you. kind of like alexander
other shanahan girl: um, yeah, about that... i kind of watched it.
gsg: alexander? what were you thinking?
osg: no, the death video.
gsg: oh... thank goodness.
osg: scary phone! oh, hi mom. no, i was just going to wander off by myself and die from my leaky television... hey, wait a sec--
::URK::
naomi watts: i am such a good mother that i will yell obscenities while walking around my son's school.
teacher: your son is kind of screwed up.
naomi watts: yeah, i know. he takes care of himself and never complains. it's unnatural.
teacher: no, i was referring to the fact that he's probably psychic and also a lot smarter than you.
naomi watts: tra la la, i am so happy and light-hearted... come on, son, let's go to the funeral!
aidan: hold on, let me fix my hufflepuff tie. i really doubt that you could tie one without hurting yourself.
osg's mom: ::sniffle:: you're a reporter, or something. find out why my daughter turned funny colors and snuffed it.
naomi watts: hello, teenagers. look, i am "cool" because i did "cool" things in high school! tell me stuff.
the guy from the o.c.: well, everyone else died, too. kind of freaky.
naomi watts: ohh, thanks. i predict hit television shows in your future!
naomi watts: oh no! everyone's face has been photoshopped! surely something is afoot. off to a lonely mountain retreat. ohh, a scary tree!
lonely mountain retreat man: yeah, i provide complementary plot devices. try that video over there.
naomi watts: hmm, obviously this will make more sense the closer i sit to the screen.
freaky video: look! i am RANDOM and FLICKERY! SCARY! SCARY!
naomi watts: urgh... pupils... dilating... think... i'm having... a seizure...
phone: 10080 minutes... how do you measure... the time till you croak...
naomi watts: scary! run away!
naomi watts: oh no! my face is photoshoppy too! i am DOOMED!... i guess i'll show it to my ex too.
shady guy: well, that was special. i feel a little stupider for having seen it. let's make copies so we can leave them where people might see them, and i'll using my breaking-and-entering skillz to help you out.
naomi watts: sounds like a plan.
naomi watts: ok, so it turns out if you pause the video, you can pull flies off it, kind of like in willy wonka except not with chocolate bars, and if you scan to the edge of the picture, there's totally a LIGHTHOUSE dun dun DUN. fortunately, you can find it in the scary lighthouse index, and it's on this island, and there was this lady who went nutto after all her horses hurled themselves into the sea, and she has this daughter, except they're both dead, but the husband is still alive, and it turns out he is the bad guy from x-men 2, and he's not all that stable himself, and he used to raise horses except they all died, and i would like to apologize for that pun 2 clauses back.
shady guy: ok, so the mom and the girl went to this mental hospital, and fortunately i was able to use my unexplained breaking and entering skills to get their file, and it turns out that the mom really wanted children but failed a lot, and finally had a girl, who has a pretty name but seemed kind of evil and made creepy photonegatives, which are totally misfiled, by the way. and there's this other video missing, which is not evil.
naomi watts: fortunately, brian cox has, but unfortunately, he smacked upside the head while i was watching it and then committed suicide by electrical appliances and bathtubs and blew up the tape and made his head explode or something. the video was the girl, who never sleeps, and is kind of freaky really. but my son, who i think might have read ahead in the script, told me they kept her in the barn, and we went, and there was a SCARY TREE! oh yeah, and my son totally watched the video, because i was stupid and left copies lying around.
shady guy: well, i think that just about takes care of the plot. since you've got about 3 minutes left to live, let's head back to the lonely mountain retreat with the scary tree.
naomi watts: oh no! scary things on the floor!
shady guy: let's wreck it!
naomi watts: it's a well, like the one in the video! since i'm going to snuff it in 30 seconds or so, i think i'll stand real close to it...
TV: ::attacks::
naomi watts: aiee! ::falls down well::
shady guy: don't worry, i'll save you with some misplaced physical comedy! ::falls over a lot::
moldy girl: i'm innocent, see! i accuse my parents! it's not my fault they threw me down a well! i'm letting out my supernatural rage in constructive ways, like making home movies.
naomi watts: oh, that's so responsible! forget the whole people dying part, obviously you're the victim here.
shady guy: well, since that's cleared up, let's try getting back together so our son doesn't get any more issues.
naomi watts: sounds good. howdy son, i helped moldy girl finish her unfinished business.
aidan: WAY TO GO, DUMBASS. WHAT PART OF EVIL DIDN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
naomi watts: ... whoops.
shady guy: la la la... i'm so glad my studio has like a trillion tv's... except when they start turning on and showing freaky videos... umm...
moldy girl: BWAHAHA I SPURN YOUR SYMPATHY BECAUSE I AM EV0L!!!!! now i will come out of the tv and attack you with my stringy hair and moldiness!
shady guy: oh no! i guess i should cower from your extreme shortness, fall over a lot, and die! ::URK::
naomi watts: oh no! my shady ex has kicked the bucket! ... i guess i'll let his assistant discover his lifeless body. i never liked her.
naomi watts: see, son, you can survive if you make a copy of the video.
aidan: ...won't that mean that we'll be propogating this horror and more people will die just so we can stay alive?
naomi watts: umm... yeah.
aidan: mom, i have to say your ethics are kind of questionable.
naomi watts: ...i'm sure we'll have a nice long discussion about it in the sequel.
FINIS
stay tuned for the sequel, the ring 2: cruise control!
