More alarm clock issues

Instead of the CD player, I went with the radio to wake me up. I set it to a station that seemed inoffensive while I was reading late at night. I guess I wasn’t paying close attention.

This morning I woke to someone urging me to accept the salvation of Christ. There was also something to do with a haven. Possibly in Califonia. It was a pleasant, if insistent voice. And whoever it was had concerns about The Da Vinci Code.

I recall groggily muttering, “For heaven’s sake, it’s a book, pal. Fiction. Get over it!”

(For the record, the book’s an okay thriller. Extremely well paced but written with pretty pedestrian prose.)

How did I manage to set my alarm to a station like that?

Another aside: the other day I watched the movie Domino. It is easily the stupidest movie I’ve seen in a very long time. Great example of cinematic gibberish. I would recommend seeing it if only for seeing how bad bad gets but it’s also offensively awful with it’s 13-year old boy’s idea of cool violence.

How grown adults can spend their time working on crap like this and hold their heads up is beyond me.

Am I cranky? Yeah. (The money spent on that moronic movie could have been spent on something useful. That's the tragedy of movies like that - not that they are bad. There are bad movies that you can tell someone was at least trying to do something worthwhile. In the case of Domino, this is a cynical display of bad movie making. It gets worse in that they try to sell it by telling you about the great Tony Scott cinematic style. What a load of manure.)
