Omgwtf is that a dog?!

This was the weirdest, creepiest, most disgusting job interview ever.

But guys will prolly say they'd have loved to be in my place.

I was called in, had to wait 45 minutes, but at least the hot guy from last time came out and apologized for the tardiness. For the record, he looked like Anders to boot! - so far so good.

Then he explained that they are doing adult website customer support. I'd be required to check information *and* look at the live feed. Which he promptly showed to me: there were 8 little windows open on the screen: woman undressing, girl naked and spread out, girl on girl, girl with toys... guy jerking off... etc Even if I took my eyes out and scrubbed my retinas clean I'll still remember that shit. And then he made a comment about the dogs...

And then he explained they also did support for "mature women". Aka grannies. I cannot thank the gods enough that I was at least spared that view. I don't think I'd ever recover from seeing that.

I have a feeling the guy had a perverse pleasure seeing me shocked, turning a new shade of red and trying not to flinch. Good gods, but I was so... frozen in place.

Am I a sick person if I find that disgusting? Is it normal to like this stuff? Was I supposed to say yes, please? I just wanted to sink into the ground I felt so ashamed. Is there something wrong with me for feeling this way, because seriously, it didn't make me hot, not even a little.

Anyway. I still feel so dirty now, and not in the good way at all.

The guy was talking non-stop, not letting me cut in, and I had a peek around: everybody else was male. I have no idea why they wanted a girl there, but yuck!!!

At last the guy stopped yakking and led me to have a HR person listen in. Then I told her I applied to their other, non-adult site department. They were vaguely puzzled and apologized. I have a feeling they just didn't care and they intentionally called me in to this department. They told me that my English was really good (duh) and that the other department handled IT. I told them yeah, I did IT helpdesk too...

The woman promised to look around, and I told them I'll mull over the adult-stuff. (As. If!!)

They led me to the reception, shook my hand - interestingly I got more hot from just shaking hands with the (for me - hot, for others- not so much) guy than when watching those videos. Maybe I am healthy after all.

...and then they watched over me like hawks while I left the building.

And this was the other shocker. Do I look so untrustworthy or sneaky? I mean last time, last week they didn't care either way. Now they watched me like I was about to steal the whole fucking building from under their noses. I had to put my scarf, coat and hat on outside in the freezing wind. So hospitable, really.

Geez.

Still... that guy was so damn hot... Do you think it's healthier if I get all hot and bothered when shaking hands and locking gazes with a guy I find definitely fuckworthy than watching pr0n?

Dues

I suppose I have been a bit...

So I didn't write a lot.

First of all, I have to thank Cliff, who sent me some delightful stuff for my Birthday. Thank you so much!

The list: a very pretty eye shadow that goes well with my eyes (Ok, so I told him which colour... but still, it looks damn good on me!), money (ok, new design on the one cent coin) and six mini dices. Very much appreciated, thank you again!

Second: today I have been at a gemstone convention. Finally. I have been craving to go to one since I missed the big one in August. I indulged myself with some bracelets and pendants. Seraphinite, Aquamarine, Garnet, Crystal Quartz aaand Emerald.

We all have our hobbies. This is mine, and I enjoy it.

Here, another post. I'm still alive.

Inception

Yeah. Last night even I saw it.

Ok, so I was dragged there by my cousin (ok, so I didn't protest much) and watched it.

So. Beware of spoilers. Here are my thoughts:

The start was intriguing. In medias res and then jumping back a lot in time. I liked it, as it was usually only used in TV shows. I don't remember if it ever was used in movies.

And then... even more intriguing the whole dreaming-extracting thing. The Japanese guy was kinda cute. Over all, the idea and the story was going along nicely, however it lacked substance.

And this was one of the major things in the movie. It lacked the bond you get with characters. We only get to know, briefly, if I might add, the main protagonist, Mr DiCaprio himself. Nobody else. I dunno if anybody else felt like watching a bunch of two-dimensional ideas running around.

Or was that the creators' idea to draw us even more in and make us doubt the whole experience the protagonist had throughout the movie, so it was also just a dream? If so, it failed to entertain, big time. You should always let people get a little bit familiar with the characters, otherwise the watchers just won't enjoy the shit you are trying to pour down their throats. I mean it.

So... Once I realized we are NOT gonna get any background story about any of the characters AND there will be no jokes or even friendly banter, I really stopped enjoying the movie. It felt somehow impersonal and far away. I just couldn't connect. At all. I felt like an outsider, someone, who was watching it all, like a movie. Sounds familiar?

Also, the protagonist's crazy bitch dead wife parading around, whining, bitching, killing people was really, really annoying. Even if it was my dead husband I had loved dearly once I'd shoot him repeatedly in the head as soon as I saw him, the bitch was that annoying. I don't get how they thought creating some whiny, hysterical bitch without any, ANY likable characteristics would move the movie forward. I wanted to shoot, kick, maim and butcher her with a chainsaw every time she showed up and started bitching. No wonder people started leaving the theater in the middle of the movie. Or that the theater was only 1/4 full when the movie started.

What else?

Oh yeah. When Leo started collecting people to do his gig, I was strongly reminded of Ocean's Eleven. Only that movie I enjoyed. They had fun jokes, likable characters you could sympathize with, you knew some of their stories and the whole thing drew you in and it was fun! This shit dragged on for ages!!

Yeah. Level three, with all the snow was simply there to draw out the movie time. I remember telling my cousin: ok, so they are dragging this out, it'll be over soon. 10 minutes later they were still dragging it out. I think about half an hour was just dragging out the whole fucking thing while nothing happened besides showing how everyone was running around like headless chickens.

Then there were a few Matrix elements. When they were falling they were weightless. Kind of a stupid plot twist, but I'm pretty sure they needed shiny effects to blind us to the faults of the movie. There and then I was reminded of Matrix and Trinity's jump. That was original. This was... meh, I can't even use new words to describe how unoriginal and anything but entertaining it was.

So... what was this shit? Take Matrix , scratch out 'the one' and 'fight programs', insert 'thief' and 'plant ideas' and instead of 'artificial reality' use 'dreams' ; and also take Ocean's eleven, change the plot from "get a team to do a gig: rob a casino in Vegas" to "get a team to do a gig: implant a memory into a multimillionaire's brain" and there, you have Inception.

Was it worth watching once? Maybe, but the movie ticket price was way too steep for shit like this. And I would never in a billion years call it original.
