Watching Emily Rose and so far so good :smokin

Gonna check the other one out tomorrow, thx ..
you are very welcome. saw Emily Rose from way back when I was in the back country for my work and had a cottage assigned for me which had cable. watched it around past 1 in the early morning since I love staying up late. must say it really creeped me out just by watching it alone and gave me a hell of a scare for the remainder of the early morning that I couldn't sleep anymore. it takes a good horror flick for me to get that scared, not to mention the place where I was even made it more chilling.

The Shrine is a bit of a slow burn but the build up is all worth it. very unexpected and damn amazing for a B-movie. I'm glad I gave it a chance before arriving at those scenes that I must say were fantastic.
 
The phony-facade in the cooperate setting is disgusting, those characteristics definitely got passed down from European nobility.
I hate those overly corporate emails, they're ridiculous. Glad I don't really have to do that anymore at my workplace, it's all very casual. Helps that I'm friends with my main boss outside of work of course, I can just say whatever I want however I want. The only time I have to do those silly corporate emails is in discussing things with our parent company, which isn't too often.

The parent company always starts their emails with "dear sir/mister/lady (name)" which just comes off as really pretentious

Sorry about the glare coming off the book due to the covering on it. And sorry for the bluriness. Y'all already know it's from a public library whenever that kind of covering is on a book.

I recently finished reading this book about Allen Iverson. I recommend it for all basketball fans.

It's about Iverson's life from childhood to adulthood. It chronicles his rise and fall as a NBA legend. It's an interesting read because it exposes a lot of his flaws that haven't been documented. It's shocking how he struggled with real world priorities and situations despite being talented and earning a lot of money. He really mismanaged and squandered his money.

Although I liked him a lot as a NBA superstar, it's hard to fathom how f'd up he is as an individual predicated on his detrimental conduct and destructive habits, especially with his family. A lot of his piss poor qualities as a person stem from his alcoholism. But there are some redeeming qualities about him if he chooses the right paths.

The title of this book is, "Not A Game", for anyone interested in checking it out.

At my survival job, I often use exclamation points so White women don’t feel “threatened.” For some reason the have an uncanny ability to determine tone in text.
I love doing triple exclamation points as it is my trademark. then some grammar police start showing up on the internet, saying how it is rude to use such thing as it is considered as "shouting and screaming". since when did that happen? also, not to mention that even how polite you are having a conversation on the internet that it is more often taken out of context or misunderstood as being rude. disagreements occur regardless on the use of such punctuation marks.
 
oh yeah, I'll be playing this seriously for the first time. I only tried this a few times after it got released way back. never got into it as I was busy starting my career. nowadays, it somehow peaked my interest. never got into Diablo 3 and somehow didn't interest to play it and I don't even know why? maybe it's the appeal or gameplay which to me is quite too complex for my simplistic brain.

I just keep mine with the parent company really formal since that's what they do. Given their tone I feel like I kinda have to reciprocate even though it sounds extremely pretentious to me. Example from my most recent email with them:
"Dear lady (name),

The issue involving unauthorized use of our email address to register a Tinder account has been resolved. I'm aware that this was an abuse, however (name) was unaware that she had done so. Given her personal circumstances at this time, I would request that we cut her some slack. Perhaps cutting off her access to the email is in order though, after all her position doesn't necessarily require it.

With friendly greetings,
(my name)"

That's pretty much how the parent company communicates as well, it's nauseating. Their super formal emails about that particular topic are especially ridiculous.
Meanwhile my most recent email to my boss is just "Here's the report of our latest session. Btw about the Tinder thing, aren't you kinda overreacting? I don't think it's that serious"
