The start of movies these days...

Don't you hate it, you are in the cinema, you've sat through 20 minutes of mindnumbingly bad adds and you're ready for the movie. So it finally starts and you're thinking Wow this is an incredible start to the movie. Then you realise, this ain't the movie its a logo for the productin company!! Why did they suddenly start making these logos that are like 1 minute movie clips? You think you are watching the intro to a movie but now its just Spyglass' logo or a random production company.

What happened to the good old days where they would just flash the logo on the screen before the movie. It's unstoppable, these things are getting so advanced you don't know when the logo ends and the movie begins. Sometimes the logo has the best visual effects in the whole movie! Someone stop the madness please.

They could atleast give us a warning! Like the logo is about to begin, this is not the start of the movie, and then play it. I've been fooled too many times by these damn logos!

The memory's fading..

Ever check your e-mail, and then you check out a few web pages and then you can't remember if you check your e-mail. So you check your e-mail and see you have no new messages, and then it hits you. I've already checked my e-mail, like 10 minutes ago. That's not a great memory there.

What about when you are thinking of a name or location or a person, perhaps vaguely, and then you completely forget who it is. It's on the tip of your tongue and then It's like your brain says "Not so fast little buddy!" and rushes that memory to the furthest recesses of your mind. So then you spend 15 minutes trying to remember something you had right there in your head just moments earlier.

The worst case of memory loss that can happen to you is this. You are in the shower, and you can't remember if you have shampoo'd your hair or not. You are thinking of something, going through the usual shower routine and then you have that moment when you stop and think, "Have I shampoo'd my hair?" Most of the time I can seriously not remember. I've probably ended up shampooing my hair hair twice on way too many occasions.

Toast

Ever had two pieces of toast and you want something different on each. Say you want honey on one piece and apricot jam on the other. So you butter or margerine the toast and you spread the honey on the first slice. Now you got a small plate because thats all you need for toast, don't need a large plate. Now this is where you are likely to make a terrible mistake. You place the toast with honey underneath the second piece of toast. Then spread the jam on the second slice of toast.

When you start eating that toast that when it hits you. The toast with honey that you placed underneath has mixed with the toast with jam and now you have two flavours that really shouldn't be mixed together. So be warned! Never think you can place the toast with a different spread underneath, it will always infect the other toast, and then you have serious breakfast problems!
