bq. You see a tall, mysterious looking brunette girl creeping closer to the basement door. You all of a sudden hear screaming and wailing in the basement. The girl's eyes widen in fear as she slowly reaches out for the door knob.
In the background, you hear the string section playing fast eighth notes to create a feeling of suspense.
The girl slowly turns the door knob, and you hear a heart pounding. Thump thump, thump thump. She breaks into a cold sweat, as she walks through the door.
'AHHHHHHHHHH.'
Then... the girl is no more.
Have you ever noticed that some movies aren't generally scary until you hear the music in the background? I believe that it's not the plot, or the characters that make a horror movie horrifying, but the suspenseful music. Such as, in When a Stranger Calls, the main character walks down a dark hallway, and you can hear string instruments playing really fast high notes. You also hear low brass instruments such as trombone and tuba blasting sharp accented quarter notes. I hope I'm not the only person who notices this... Then I'd be an official band geek.
Also, with most horror movies, everything seems to be faded in colour to create the feelings of despair. At least, thats what it does to me.
My brother goes to college at UCSD, so I know plenty of good hotels down there. In my opinion, the
Ivy Hotel in San Diego is by far, the best hotel there is. I mean, it even got a five star rating. Now that's saying something. :smile: The room types consist of suites, jacuzzi suites, penthouse suites, and of course, the presidential suites. I would kill for a room with a jacuzzi. They also have a nightclub, for all your wannabe Lindsay Lohan's out there.
I was just randomly watching a clip on Youtube and
Scott Flansburg on Oprah talked about this math 'property' that I never even knew about.
Let's say 11. 11 is made of a 1 and a 1. 1+1=2. 11-2=
9.
Let's say 12. 12 is made of a 1 and a 2. 1 + 2 = 3. 12-3=
9.
Let's say 13. 13 is made of a 1 and a 3. 1+3=4. 13-4=
9.
Let's say...21. 21 is made of 2 and a 1. 2+1=3. 21-3=18. 18 is made of a 1 and an 8. 1+8=
9.
Let's take a large number like...1024. 1024 is made of a 1, 0, 2, and 4. 1+0+2+4=7. 1024-7=1017. 1017 is made of 1,0,1, and 7. 1+0+1+7=
9.
Do you see a pattern? Oprah rocks.
