Stuff that I ate today (in between meals, that is):

• 3 mini pizzas
• 2 cans of tuna
• 8 dumplings
• Honey Gold cornflakes
• Chicken noodle soup
• Nachos and very very hot chunky salsa (yum, by the way)
• 1 piece chocolate cake
• Koko Krunch

God, I hope these cravings stop soon. I’ll probably turn into a blimp if this continues. Thank God for my quick metabolism.

Our house almost got broken into the other night, if not for a neighbor who saw the suspicious looking men lurking on our property. According to our neighbor, they were wearing black and couldn’t get through because a stray dog was growling at them. It’s the second time that the said stray dog chased a suspicious looking character off our property.

So yesterday, while my mom and I were looking for a suitable birthday present for my grandmother, my father went to look at security cameras. He finally came back with wireless night vision security cameras. They’ve been set up (and effectively hidden). We hope to get footage soon.

My parents spoke with the president of our area’s security forces. They said they already have suspects (and pretty much confirmed our suspicions regarding these suspects), but they still haven’t caught these men in the act. Hopefully we’ll nail them soon.

I’m probably going to be a paranoid little thing until they get caught.

On a lighter note, I was going through my grandfather’s old things last night (my grandmother requested that I go through them, since she thought I might something of use) and found a camera. An Olympus-Pen F.

It’s a half frame camera, so it takes two photos in one frame. So a 36 shot roll of film loaded in this camera will yield 72 shots, instead of the typical 36. I can’t wait to try it out.

For those who are considering a memory upgrade, hi.

It’s no secret that I consider the 30s-60s the golden era of film making. I’m a rather huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock and have a DVD box set of all his successful suspense flicks. For the past few days, I’ve gone on a Hitch marathon. Here are my recommendations:

• Rear Window (1954)
  I’m sure some of you have seen Disturbia, the 2007 thriller starring Shia LaBeouf. Rear Window is much, much, much better than Disturbia.
• Dial M For Murder (1954)

  I’m a Grace Kelly fan, so it’s only natural that I’d love her performance here. This film is about a man who marries a woman for her money. When he gets named as a beneficiary in her will, he plots her death.

• The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934)
  This is one of Hitch’s successful films. It is about a couple who witnesses the assassination of a spy while on vacation.
• Vertigo (1958)
  Vertigo is a psychological thriller about a a policeman who is forced to retire after developing acrophobia. It’s a very good movie. It did receive mixed reviews when it was released, but has been named one of the greatest films ever made.
• Psycho (1960)
  I think it would be a crime not to include this movie in this list. This movie is based on the novel of the same name by Robert Bloch. Psycho has also spawned a lot of remakes - but nothing beats the original.
• The Birds (1963)
  This film is based on the short story by Daphne Du Maurier (which I have not yet read).
• Rebecca (1940)
  Although it’s very different from the book, I still loved Rebecca. However, I still wish they hadn’t changed the turning point. That was disappointing.

I still have around 5 other favorites, but I think the ones mentioned above are enough for this entry. I really need to refresh my memory, though, since it’s been a few years since I’ve seen Hitch’s other works.

If you do check out those movies, be sure to keep your eyes open for Alfred Hitchcock’s signature cameo appearances!
