I kind of hate rain

I know it helps plants grow, and is essential to all life on earth, and blah, blah, blah. I just think rain is kinda lame sometimes. Especially right now, because the wipers are broken on my POS car. I can fix them pretty easily if I get out to a junk yard and find the part, but I'm incredibly lazy. Thus far I've been pretty lucky. Everytime I've needed to drive somewhere the rain has stopped for at least a little while. Of course, now that I've posted something about it, I'm sure I'll have to drive to work today in a torrential downpour.

Open your mind!

So, I'm watching Total Recall. If you haven't watched this movie, you really should. Not just because I'm about to spoil the hell out of it, but because it is totally bad ass. After you've watched Arnie kick the shit out of some mutant Martians, watch the commentary, it is equally awesome, and I'm also about to spoil the shit out of it as well.

So, you're back right? And you watched the commentary? Good, now check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0amCfgnwY8, it's got nothing to do with what I'm about to talk about, but it's friggin' hilarious.

Now, let's assume that the whole movie is pretty much just the brain trip that Rekal sends Quaid on, and as soon as the credits roll he wakes up in their offices. He's just had the most awesome virtual vacation ever, and he's about to head home. To his wife. Who, in his mind, just tried to shoot him in their own home, told him their marriage was a sham, and was killed by the girl of his dreams. That's pretty fucked up right there. This poor bastard is going to second guess everything in his life (remember his best friend tried to kill him in his fantasy vacation too) all because he opted for the bonus package.

Seriously, that's just fucked up.
