Intrusive PMs and misleading movies / KFC Coleslaw

Great... I get home to two private messages. I'll probably deal with those later. Ugh. You are not getting any reasonably private info on my friends and people I know, thanks! =/

I also got one missed call on my phone, which is from a number that Hester (the apartment building manager) told me about the other day. Methinks it has something to do with the "compensation for no heat" OR the "rent issues," so I'll get on that tomorrow sometime... must also call Sue or Barry to remind them of certain increases, too!


Today's Flesh-Eating Yet Truly Morbid Fact!

Two KwaZulu-Natal girls have been left traumatised after witnessing their father eat the flesh off their dead mother's face. Police spokesperson Captain Tienkie van Vuuren said police were called to Thembalethu Village near Mkuze in the Tugela Ferry area at 3 AM on Friday, June 17, 2005 after a 13-year-old girl ran to her neighbours for help. She said when they arrived at the scene, they had to force their way inside the house to rescue the other girl (7) who had also been stabbed on the head by the father. "Inside, police found the naked Jabulani Siphethu sitting on top of his common-law wife's body, eating the flesh from her face," said Van Vuuren. "Only the forehead was still intact. The bone was visible where the rest of the face used to be." Siphethu was very aggressive during the arrest, and threatened police with the knife he was holding. He was eventually apprehended and taken outside. "There, he suddenly choked and became unconscious and died. The seven-year-old girl was removed from the scene by ambulance, together with her older sister who escaped unharmed," said Van Vuuren. She said a case of murder and inquest has been opened.

I can't say I blame the girl: nobody likes to see their parents suck face! *groan*

Wretched Recommendations!

Dana has a film recommendation for us:

"I literally just got back from seeing The Prestige. Aside from making me want to kill the projectionist for screwing up his cues, it was an excellent film. It manages to be period in a subtle and believable way, bolstered by the great acting. It's dark overall, but it's the last five minutes that are really morbid. I'm hoping the DVD comes out soon, as I'd love to hear the director's thoughts on this one."

Morbid Trinket Du Jour!

For those of you who still haven't purchased a new calendar this year, here's an excellent choice!

The 2007 Serial Killer Calendar

Thanks to Nina for the suggestion.


Eric M. wanted to see The Prestige in November, but didn't due to lack of interest among our crowd. That calendar thing reminds me: there's a movie coming out next week about a serial killer which is a crocodile named Gustave. I think it's called Primeval... saw a preview for it on Channel 54 at the townhouse.

Certain people on the IMDB message boards for that movie are stupid. A crocodile is NOT a snake, and they're not even close to being the same thing! UGH! The people are right about this: the "serial killer still at large" is SO misleading! Guess I won't be seeing this one, and saving my money for more worthy things! Double UGH to misleading stuff! Glad I read the message boards first, heh.
