We are watching “Asteroids: the Good, the Bad” on SciHD, and it’s blowing my mind that this segment is playing the same score used in the Jim Kills Everyone ending scenes of “28 Days Later, also known as “In the House - In a Heartbeat” by John Murphy (with the piano & guitar right before the heavy guitars and beat start). Such a good track. Now I wanna rewatch that movie and scare myself again because that’s what I doooooo.

fascinating

So I am taking yet another break from cleaning (cos my mother-in-law arrives tomorrow), and the TV is on as background noise per usual. Only this time I glance up and see this thing on NatGeo where people are acting as sperm, all of them lying across and around each other in these tubes, everyone dressed in white, all linked together. Meanwhile this scientist guy—not the narrator, by the way—is talking about how the human body is going through one of the most pleasurable acts possible, but that we should basically imagine what it is the sperm has to go through in this ‘treacherous journey’. (I’m paraphrasing.) And that was when sperm-people started screaming while they’re rushed through this waterslide, all still linked to each other and it looks dangerous and frightening because these people are SCREAMING, okay? Also there are scenes of this couple rolling around together in bed, kissing and touching and more kissing again, and they relax together and cuddle while in the next cut the people-as-sperm run across a wide plain kind of like the Spartans rushing into battle. These people-sperm climb up this mountain and look up at this ominous sky as though acid rain is about to pour down on them.

None of this is news, but I can’t stop laughing at the people pretending to be sperm. I wonder what it’s like to go to an audition for a part like that.
