03/10/2010: "pasta"

Its 330 and i just downed a bowl of salty pasta i cooked in a haste to fill my tummy. The other bowl i threw away. Can't seem to figure out how much pasta to boil for 1 person. Can't remember the last time my mum cooked for us. Its been ages but completely justifiable ages. I do miss it so but you adapt. I'm just glad she's around.

Its odd how we're so protective of her when she's sick but don't show the same amount of care when my dad gets under the weather. We're just so used to him being the strong one, the one who calls the shots, the one who solves the problems. But as i see him age, his fragility and vulnerability shows itself in between coughs and sneezes. I worry for him more than i ever have. Growing old is scariest not for the adults but for the children. Noone wants to see their parent die. Most of all me. I'm 24 and i still think i'm a kid. Someone needs to slap me.

Which isnt a wonder why I find Alice in wonderland so whimsical and dreamy. Aside from the ill fitting 3D specs not meant to be friendly to 4 eyed folk, it was a very watchable movie. Johnny Depp is starting to run out of personalities to portray though. His walk across the tea table flashed Jack Sparrow all over and his wonky dance was, well, willy wonka. Four w's in a row. Great. I even had a glimpse of Edward Scissorhands in his blank stares.

I must mention however, somewhere in the near future, i hope to see a remake of Alice in Wonderland but redone to suit the horror crowd. They made a video game based on that and it had one of the coolest phrases ever. In our darkest hour, the queen has taught you well, my knife will slice your heart in half, and send you straight to hell. Somewhere along those lines. Murderous Tweedle Dums, Rabid Cheshire cats, immortal queen, amazing..
