Constantine ♥ Canada! ♥ Computer Games ♥ Other Crap

My long awaited tax return came yesterday, I'm so excited because at least a third of it will be going into a flight to Canada. It feels unreal that I'm this close to getting there... I've been saying I want to go for about two years but it's only really in the last six months I've taken it seriously and actually done something about it. It's all very well to say you're going to do something, but to follow through feels great... I usually have trouble following through on my crazy plans ^^; But I figure you have to aim high.



Other than that on Wednesday I went on a crazy shopping trip with Andrew and we brought Sweeny Todd, Fat Pizza, The Matrix Trillogy, Constantine and Nirvana Unplugged in New York. He also found Age of Mythology, and Age of Empires II. However we only got Mythology... I'll have to go into town later and see if I can still get it cheeply. Mythology is just...annoying. I prefer being able to choose a race e.g. Japanese or Spaniards rather than choosing a God. Bleh...this world has enough religious wars going on without me creating one on my computer! I guess you could say the same for pitting race against race, but that's more "ok we have these skills, you have these skills. Now lets see how strong we can get" Rather than "Our God shall smite thee and you will be f***ed!" Most racism seems to stem from religious differences anyway. Just look at the middle east. And on this strain of thought....


Constantine was great! I usually shy away from movies (or anything really) that have a God is awesome and the Satan sucks theme, and that's what I thought this would be like but no way in hell is it (please exuse that ^^')
John Constantine sees demons and angels and after attempting to suicide and spending time in hell (suicide is a mortal sin if you hadn't already learnt that) he vows to keep the balance deporting demons back to Hell e.t.c... now when Satan's son (yes Satan can have babies too XD ) tries to create his own kingdom the only one who can stop him is...you guessed it John Contantine. I'm not going to say too much more because I've probably already ruined it for anyone who hasn't seen it. My favourite bit though is where John basically says God has no plan he's like a kid with an ant farm. I don't know about you, but that just seems so right...



Other than that I've just been laying around the house feeling dead... hopefully I get better before tomorrow morning >_< (work)
