Brain buster.

I love those sort of questions that by there very existence are unsolvable. The one about someone who can tell naught but lies saying that he is lying. There is a specific name for such a conundrum, but I have forgotten it. Anyway, I had one pop into mind in much the same vein earlier this morning and thought I should try to put it down.

I was thinking of a person who was perfect, but lied to someone and said that they weren't. This then becomes a loop due to the fact that someone perfect lying would no longer be perfect, which would then make lie true, but then it goes back to the beginning. It's clearly not as good as the lying liar, but it was sure turning in my head. Although, now that I think about it, it's possible that such a thing wouldn't work out as screwy as I thought, but it doesn't matter.

A Series of Unfortunate Events

Went and done saw that new-fangled Lemony Snicket movie. I won't give anything away, but needless to say, it was a good movie. I'd recommend it, although there was something throughout that gave me the hint of the creeps. A general unease in the back of my mind played as though it were a toothache. I think the movie is meant to somewhat convey a slight sense of dread throughout, I dunno, there was just something I couldn't put my finger on. Regardless, it was very well done and I must say that Jim Carrey can play creepy yet funny villain remarkably well. There were a few odds and ends at the end of the movie that don't make all that much sense, and it felt like some things were left undone, but overall I was quite satisfied. As my mom said after, there is likely to be a sequel, especially with said odds and ends left undone.

Missing

Glancing over the Evanescence website, I came across a few songs they give clips of in their music part and found a most splendid song. It is a song called Missing, and I find it remarkably drawing and hauntingly beautiful. Apparently it is a previously unreleased song that didn't make it onto the Fallen cd, of which I bought a while back. Unfortunately, said new song is on their new cd, which is basically the Fallen cd live (I'm not fond of their live performances), with one or two extra songs, of which Missing is one.

On an aside, does anyone have said song? The site plays most of it, but not all, and it only works when one's net connection isn't being a bastard, of which my net likes to be from time to time. Luckily, not at the moment.
