Kill Me!

I've just finished watching Kill Bill Volume 1, (downloaded of course, given the lame-ass RA rating here!) and surprisingly the quality was quite exceptional. It was some screener copy (whatever that meant), and I must say that I was rather impressed. I've never been a fan of Quentin Tarantino, (I don't even know who he is until this movie. Haha.) but his directional techniques are totally unique and out of the box. I guess there's something for everyone here, from black and white scenes to animation, blah blah blah... Though I don't really dig violence and all that blood and gore, and the movie being rather straightforward (just Uma Thurman getting her revenge by tracing down past assassins), it still nevertheless had me griping to my seat. Now that's a rarity, given that I seldom or almost never watch movies on my computer in one sitting. I'm easily distracted, and I always have other programs running in the background. But this time, I didn't flinch a bit. I just sat there and watched the whole 2 hours of the bloody (pun intended) movie! Now that's an achievement. Standing ovation, anyone? *raises brow*

Speaking of violence and high-risk activities, I'm supposed to go for this stupid Advanced Obstacle Course this coming Tuesday. Not that I'm acrophobic whatsoever, but somehow the idea of doing dangerous stuff doesn't really appeal to me that much. Okay, to speak the truth, it doesn't at all. But I've got no choice, have I? I can't possibly pull a sickie at the last minute. It'll be so damn obvious, and the last thing I want is to draw attention to myself. I'd rather keep an average profile in the army, if you know what I mean. Anyway, as I was saying, the AOC consists of... I don't know! Just heard from friends that one of the obstacles includes jumping down from the 2nd storey with people holding a safety net to catch your fall. (Sounds simple, no? Reminds me of Carrie in the SATC episode "The Catch". LOL) Basically people are telling me it's just something to boost and test your confidence. And most importantly, they say it's fun. Really? Cynicism building itself into my blood. But then again, it's already there, isn't it? Maybe it's building its defenses. Whatever.

I so need a shower. Out.
