I like oysters. Not to the point where I can't go a day without one... but I like them. I think if anyone gets that far gone... you may as well hang it up. Game Over... I mean, oysters are good, but they're not beer or Doritos. We went out to a restaurant tonight for some cheap oysters. This restaurant we found out is closing its doors in about a month's time. So some of the staff looked like they were phoning it in. We had a few problems with a few of the oysters, they seemed to be not only room temperature (a good oyster should be served chilled as far as I'm concerned) The were also a bit TOO 'oceany'. I'm always a little concerned about the 'oceany' smelling ones. We asked for said oysters to be replaced and they brought a whole fresh batch on ice. Very accommodating indeed. They brought the amount that we'd ordered in the first place out though, so in the end... between 3 of us, we'd eaten 48 oysters. Not a bad innings. Not a particularly interesting story... but here's one that is better. I don't like watching true crime. It tends to mess with my head a whole bunch more than I like. Oh I can watch horror movies or thrillers until the cows come home... I can easily differentiate between Hollywood and realism; and I don't need realism in my life... That's why I turn the TV on in the first place... escapism. Jane, however can't get enough of hearing how Jeffery Dahmer hacked up 18 dudes, or some emperor used a torture chamber called a 'bull'.... none of us need to know this stuff. We have foxtel here at the Murphy house, and Jane will do nothing but sit and watch the 'CI' channel. Crimes and investigations... now, I didn't think I was a nanna about that sort of thing... but... I guess I am. Jane had watched and raved to me about a documentary on a serial killer who called himself B.T.K. I won't freak you out with the meaning of the acronym or the atrociousness of his crimes, but she convinced me to watch the documentary. NEVER AGAIN. I had to leave the kitchen light on when i went to bed, and had goosebumps all night. I was RIDICULOUSLY freaked out. Even today, (I watched the doco last night) I haven't been able to shake the dude's face from my mind. I gave Jane a right talking to today, to which she laughed rather heartily. I don't get how people can watch that stuff and then go on like everything is cool. But I guess they have a specific channel for it, so I'm in the minority. Wow... two bad stories in a row... I'm impressed. I'll have better musings and ramblings tomorrow. Love Court. P.s. Check out 'OKTAPODI' on Youtube. It's nominated for Best Animated Short. I for one, hope it gets it.
