I Love the Smell of Raid in the Morning
Ants! Ants were everywhere in my room this morning. I hate them. I think I woke up when one was crawling into my mouth. I mean, honestly!
What I hate most about ants is when you can't figure out what they are after, as was the case this morning. There was no food in the bedroom. There was none in the bathroom (which is where I found another trail of them). There was absolutely no reason for them to invade my living quarters, but there they were! Ugh.
Tangentially, last night I watched a terrible movie. Mortal Kombat. It was on TV, and I couldn't resist. I'd seen it before (I can't believe I'm admitting that), so I knew how terrible it was, but as I said to Becca (who was watching it with me, albeit 350 miles away!), there is something strangely entertaining about it. Maybe it is the awfulness of the special effects, espcially the ugly four-armed man/beast. Maybe it is the laughable presence of that Highlander guy, making an appearance as the god of lightning or something (oh, I laughed out loud just writing that). Maybe it is the fact that it includes stupid lines from the video game ("Get over here!" "Fatality!"). I don't know. Becca and I tried to figure it out, but it was beyond our combined mental prowesses.
But at least it provided us with ample opportunity for Mystery Science Theater 3000-type commentary, so that was a plus. Now that's a show I really miss.
Anyway, I'm off to work. But for the record, I did not watch Mortal Kombat til the end (Becca, I know you were wondering!). Also, for the record, I really hate ants.

How can you forget to mention Johnny Cage? I thought we had definitely decided he was the best reason to watch, because he generally seems to be the only one that realizes how not serious the movie is.
I'm glad to hear you didn't watch the end. I have to admit that I kept flipping back during commercials of whatever else I was watching, and I was really glad to catch the part where sonya tells them that her friends will come for her, while wearing the hideous brown leather sort of chearleading looking skirt. It was great. :)

yes you are right! but that's the thing, he was the only GOOD thing about a very very bad film. so i didn't want to include him in the list of dumb stuff.
i will be forever grateful to whoever wrote/filmed the scene of him falling flat on his face in the water with an armload of heavy suitcases. ha!
