I have a job interview tomorrow for a technical support position with a web hosting company. Take that temp-hood!

That said, my heart goes out to all of those affected by the devestating ravages of Hurricane Katrina.

A Few Notes on Audition

Alfred Hitchcock once said the following regarding suspense:

We are now having a very innocent little chat. Let us suppose that there is a bomb underneath this table between us. Nothing happens, and then all of a sudden, 'Boom!' There is an explosion. The public is surprised, but prior to this surprise, it has seen an absolutely ordinary scene, of no special consequence. Now, let us take a suspense situation. The bomb is underneath the table, and the public knows it, probably because they have seen the anarchist place it there. The public is aware that the bomb is going to explode at one o'clock and there is a clock in the décor. The public can see that it is a quarter to one. In these conditions this same innocuous conversation becomes fascinating because the public is participating in the scene.

There's a gigantic bomb under the table in Audition and there's well over Sir Alfred's 15 minutes of agonizing, teasing suspense, and every last second is completely worth it.

I don't think I'll be dating for a while. I need the time to stare at the screen and babble incoherently.
