I'm just dejected, disheartened, dispirited

I'm trying to avoid the other D word because obviously I'm not depressed. I thought I was today and so when I typed this up I went looking for a depression pic and I found this. Obviously, I'm not THAT depressed. More like a sad mood swing brought about by the longest movie I've ever seen this year.

So you're probably wondering what the hell is with all the pictures lately. Well, I thought it would be cool to include pictures that relate remotely to my posts. For example, I was talking about being on a roll of brilliance the other day and I got a picture of rolls of sushi. See, that's pure "creative" brilliance right there on my part. Actually, the point of the pictures is to distract you away from the contents of the posts and to fill the page out, otherwise my blog looks dark and depressed.

Anyhow, I digressed. I used Google Images to find pictures so when I typed in "depression" I got a bunch of pictures of people in various "depressed" poses which made me feel depressed and I found a picture about the Great Depression. So there you have it, the story of the the above picture about depression but not really about depressed people.

Back to the reason I started this post at all. I was going about my usual Sunday things, you know things cool people like me do on Sunday, lie about reading artsy stuffs in The Sunday Age and discuss politics. Ok, I was studying which was why I got bored and hungry also at around 1 pm. One thing I've learned over the years about myself is that trying to study when you're bored AND hungry is a waste of time so I watched Zodiac (one my my end-of-month, taking-advantage-of-all-that-unused-download-allowance, spur-of-the-moment, illegal internet activites). I thought it would be a standard cool thriller; cops, serial thrillers, journalists, sounds like a good thriller before I watched it. It turned out to be a 150+ minute movie based on a real story. That was so freaking long. I don't know why I even sat through all that, but I did. It's not the movie that made me sad, it was my realisation that I had just spent almost 3 hours of my life watching a movie as inconsequential as that.

Well, the movie wasn't all that useless, at least now I have more reasons to be paranoid about crazy people killing other people randomly just for fun and attention.
