I just watched a really scary film. Alone.
Not a good combo, which means that I will yet again sleep with my contact lenses in and all the lights on, and that the cat will be allowed in my bed. So in case a crazy Estonian knife-wielding murderer tries to take me by surprise I'll be well sighted and able to throw the cat at her, thus buying valuable time in which to escape.
The film in question was called "Orphan", and it reinforced two very important truths as far as horror films are concerned:
1. If the main character in the film is a kid, it's gonna be a good'un. Kids in scary films are always a sign of extra freakiness to come.
2. It's vitally important to make absolutely bloody sure that the crazy knife-wielding Estonian murderer really is dead before you relax and count your blessings. Chances are she's gonna have a second stab (oh excuse the pun, I couldn't stop myself) at hitting a main artery before she goes out for good.
Asides from that, I have today learnt the secret of multiplying ANY number, even a really high one like 285, with any two-figure number in my head in a matter of seconds and getting the answer right every time. Like a human calculator. Something to be said for Chinese math geeks, they know their stuff.
