The World Hasn’t Ended …. Yet
Well, by the clock on the wall we’re all still here. I’ve seen no meteors, or aliens, or felt tremors, or seen tidal waves, or any of the other usual signs of the apocalypse. But, it’s still early. Plenty of time for carnage and destruction.
In the mean time I shall be ever diligent, keep a watchful eye and make sure this bottle of vodka doesn’t go anywhere.

666 Park Avenue – Episode 3
I’m being drawn into this show. I like the mystery, the layers, the hints and clues at what’s to come. For the first time we see Gavin make a move to show more of his nature as the Councilman takes a nose dive. We see the influence he has over people when he pushes Henry to move forward, almost against his nature. And do we see the walls going down between Jane and Olivia discuss the tragic events surround Olivia’s passing? And clearly from the note Olivia burns, there is more to that story as well.
It’s turned into a real soap opera hasn’t it?
But I do like the way this is playing out. I like that it answers one question, but adds two more to the mix. It’s an interesting look at people and what we’re all willing to do to get ahead and if we’re willing to make a deal. I like that there are multiple stories going on, not just with the tenants, but with the past itself. Why do we have a secret room? Why was it walled up? Who used to live there? What meetings or shall we say rituals used to take place in this building all those years ago? I like the atmosphere. I like the questions. I like how everything seems to be circling, but that somehow, all of this is going to tie together.
What do you think? While not quite as dramatic as American Horror Story, it does present some of the same elements. Is anyone on board with this new show?

The end is nigh!
Since the end of the world is at hand I figure you probably need some party music to go along with it. I found this little gem just yesterday and it’s fantastic – The 99 Darkest Pieces Of Classical Music. It has some of the most well known and dramatic classic pieces all gathered together. So when you’re sitting around waiting for 6:00 pm this might help to pass the time.
Now is as good a time as any to catch up on some TV. The Ghost Adventures Poveglia Island and Eastern State Penitentiary are always good choices. I would also suggest the Chernobyl, Pompeii and the Haunted Mining Town episodes of Destination Truth.
If there’s any time left perhaps you could watch Shaun of the Dead or maybe Army of Darkness. There might be some useful skills to be gleaned from that.
So anyway, good luck tomorrow. And if by chance it all goes sideways, thanks for reading!

Paranormal Activity – Movie Review
First off, the jittery camera work and swinging camera motions made me somewhat motion sick. About halfway through the movie I felt queasy and light headed. Just fair warning if you’re susceptible to motion sickness you need to prepare yourself.
I went and saw this movie last night and for a low budget film this kicks ass! To get a sense of what you’re in for it’s a movie length episode of Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures. Toss in a little Blair Witch action and you’re good to go.
I won’t go into any of the details of the movie since that would spoil it, but the premise is simple: Micah and Kate are experiencing something odd in their home and Micah goes out and buys a video camera to document what’s going on. He puts the camera on a tripod lets it run through the night. We are watching the footage that has been found after all the events have taken place.
It starts off mostly as a game, Micah wanting to capture something and make his girlfriend feel better about living with him. But something is happening, and the lack of sleep and helplessness starts to take its toll and soon the couple is tired, scared and desperate. They begin to lash out at each other which seems to feed this entity and soon it’s all spiraling out of control.
We’ll leave it there for the details of the movie. Half the experience is seeing it all unfold. I had a great time watching this, despite the motion sickness caused by the jerky camera motions. I’m not thrilled with the ending though, I thought it would have been done better. We won’t go into the details, at least not yet, but I think it went a little too Hollywood and broke with the spirit of the rest of the movie. But that aside this is good stuff and it shows that if you have a worthwhile story you don’t need $100 million in special effects.
If you have any interest in the paranormal, enjoy Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures or thought The Blair Witch Project was good then you’ll have a fun time with this one. Lots of bizarre things going on and you’re constantly scanning the screen to see what’s coming.
Definitely worth seeing!
