20 days later!

This has been my longest dirth of bloggery. 20 days have passed since my last blog expedition, and I haven't even been infected with a fast zombie virus. Yes, we saw 28 weeks later last night, with an old friend. It was terrifying, heart rending, and apocalyptic. With 28 days later, these are the best horror films of the decade. There are only one or two good horror films a decade anyway, and these are excellent.

Blair Witch in the '90's, if you could trick yourself into buying into the hype.

Poltergeist of the 80's. The Believers was pretty good too. Oh, and The Hitcher. I think Alien belongs here too.

The Shining and The Exorcist in the '70's.

Hitchcock before that.

What am I missing?

Language and Prose

I just wanted to share this from the 50's. I often do this myself, when I'm waiting in line with no book to read. Writing can be beneficial mentally, even if it's filler. Often I'll actually write a letter, so as to have an audience, even if I have no intention of posting or sending it.

Test Run

This is the first entry of this blog, Horror Love Equilibrium Point. That ludicrous title came at me unexpectedly, but has to do with a world perception that I will discuss repeatedly in the future. I hadn't thought of a title, or really thought about the fact that a title would even be needed. Then, there I was, signing up on Blogger. It asked me for a title. "Gee," I thought to myself, "I h'ain't really thought o' one." (I think in conversational conjunctions.) "How'bout 'The Point of Equilibrium Between a Polar Dichotomy of the Realization of Unjust Worldly Acts and Personal Joy and Eudomonia?'" That was too long. Besides, isn't a 'Polar Dichotomy' redundant? Thus the shortened but atrocious title was born.

A note on style: I promise to strike a balance between using annoyingly obscure words like 'eudomonia' and speaking like a slurring gutter punk with a 3rd grade education. I'll link M-W.com also, in case you love words too.
