Needless to say, the referendum didn’t go at all the way I wanted it to. I think I could swallow this defeat a lot easier if I wasn’t convinced the whole thing was completely sabotaged by a poorly executed $6.8 million public awareness campaign that was an uninformative and uninspired disaster. The blogosphere did a better job of telling people what was what, and on a much smaller budget too.

In other news, I’m contemplating what to carve into my pumpkin this year and keeping an eye on the TV schedule for horror movies. It’s an exciting life I lead.

The other night, there was this made-for-TV horror movie on City that I had never seen before and I decided to watch it. As soon as I saw Margot Kidder, I knew it would be fantastic. Anyway, it was about this emotionally damaged woman, Michelle, who moves to a new neighbourhood after someone breaks into her house and steals her stereo. She’s all upset and vulnerable about it because she tried to shoot the stereo theif and she couldn’t and he knew it and taunted her and the stereo was REALLY important to her and also she can’t cope with the failure of not having the strength to shoot a man. So she moves to this new house (to get over the pain of losing her stereo) only to be stalked by her landlord’s son!

So she called her landlord and she was like, GET YOUR CREEPY SON UNDER CONTROL OR ELSE, K THNX. And the landlord was like OKAY, PLS DON’T TELL AUTHORITIES HE’S ALL I HAVE. But then she saw the creepy son stalk-watching her AGAIN, so she was all pissed because she was like I’M NOT LOSING ANOTHER STEREO TO ANOTHER STALKER and called the landlord and was like I SAW YOUR SON AGAIN, I’M CALLIN THE COPS! And the landlord was like WELL THEY CAN’T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY SON JUST HUNG HIMSELF, HE IS DEAD. WAY TO BE SENSITIVE. And she was like WHOOPS, MY BAD! SRY! And I was like NO MICHELLE, IT IS ACTUALLY THE LANDLORD’S SON YOU ARE TALKING TO NOT THE LANDLORD! HE KILLED HIS FATHER AND IS DISGUISING HIS VOICE!!

And I was right.

So the landlord’s crazy-but-alive son was all like, making plans for him and Michelle to get married and stuff but then he found out marriages based on psychotic fantasties have a 73% chance of fail and he took it pretty hard and he was just like I WILL KILLS YOU TO SPARE MYSELF OUR INEVITABLE DIVORCE! But he didn’t get to kill her because just at the right moment, Michelle found the strength inside of herself to shoot a man and she was like THIS IS FOR MY STEREO POW POW! And then she got together with her hot detective boyfriend who conveniently had a detective conference where he and his buddies all read from Sherlock Holmes and contemplated their noble profession on the exact same day the final confrontation went down, otherwise he totes would have been there to save her, naturally.

It was AWESOME.
