The Baby Thing

It's late and I need a shower. I wonder if this entry will make sense in the morning...

I realized that for a blog that was supposed to be about our kid I had yet to give any updates. Well, Kazu's just starting to show and we got a new picture of the alien! And you can see the spine! In fact that's all you can see. What once appeared to be a well-formed alien now seems to be a shapeless blob, with a spine. What happened to its arms and legs? I'm still convienced that it's an alien but it may not be the type I thought. Maybe its one of those blob aliens that can change their shape. The 'spine' is probably just an implant. The good news is that giving birth will be easy. The blob-baby just slides out, making a soft 'shlurp' sound. 'Shlurp!'

We also had a little scare at the hospital. Appearntly the whole hospital is being penalized for insurance fraud?! So we were worried that we'd have to change hospitals. But since it health insurance doesn't cover birth we're not effected. Long story, maybe I'll continue it tomorrow.

What happened to Happy Endings...

The last, like, 5 or 6 movies I've rented all have the same sort of ending. Everyone dies and/or there's no closure; it just ends suddenly-- I guess its stretch to even call it an ending. Did anyone see History of Violence? Wife finds out that the hero (anti-hero?) has been living a lie and it looks like she can't forgive him. Then he kills everyone and returns home. Then it just ends. Are they getting divorced? Will she forgive him? I don't know! Actually these sort of endings are refreshing sometimes-- it just seems like the current trend though, and in this movie seemed a little forced.

Another movie, Nariobi something-or-other (forgot the name), ends with the hero dying. In this movie though I thought is worked though.
Layer Cake? The hero dies. Why? Whats the message here? Is there a message?
Lucky Number Seven. Okay the hero doesn't die, but everyone else in the movie does.

The only movies I thought were forced were Layer Cake and History of Violence (I actually laughed when the hero died in Layer Cake). But even the good ones are starting to feel predictable now. I used to think it was corny when a movie ended a little too happily but now their endings are just too depressing-- and the corniness level is just as high.

So what's my point? Nothing, no conclusion, no message. (crazed laughter...)
