I really dislike these extended weekends. I've made a little headway in my JLPT book but most of the day I just spend flipping the AC on and turning it off again to save money... maybe. The hardest part about the summer heat is the moisture. I would open the windows to let a cool breeze come in but even when it's not stifling hot the air is so thick it's like wading around in a pool when the windows are open. On top of that all my major sources of entertainment generate crazy amounts of heat. For example, this laptop runs crazy hot even with the cooling kit underneath. If I don't take a break every hour or so it gets hot to the touch around the keys.
I watched a really lame horror movie that was supposed to be based off a true story, but it was pretty far out there. The Haunting in Connecticut or something like that. I mean most movies that say "based on the true story" or very lose interpretations of true. When they say "based on" they really just mean they got the idea when they heard about the true story. They don't have to be related at all. Perfect example is that movie Kevin Bacon was in... the prison movie... Murder In The First. Read the true story behind that case and you will think the movie writers were smoking crack when the filmed it.
Anyway, this horror movie was based on a family that moved into a house that used to be a funeral home/psychic research/commune with the dead show that had one hundred bodies stuffed into the walls. Lots of things in the film were way out in left field like the priest who just happened to major in the black arts and necromancy so that he could understand and explain exactly what was going on in the house. They should have just named the priest "Father Plot Device" and made it more obvious. They don't make movies like they used to anymore. I miss the Lethal Weapons and Die Hard flicks that I grew up with.
