I watched The Mothman Prophecies tonight, which was sufficiently spooky. There's nothing like a tantalizingly frightening film. I wish we had rented the DVD which is sure to have some extra background info. It would be interesting to know which of the "true events" that the movie was based upon, are actually true.

Tonight Jordan and I stopped at Pacific Mall, a chinese mall near his school. This place seems like it has been transported straight out of Hong Kong. It's different, but cool; kind of like a trade show where everyone just has glass booths rather than their own store. They have a great video game arcade there, and its games are awesome. They're all Japanese/Chinese imports that put North American games to shame. Both Jord and I like it there. The trouble is that we have difficulty understanding how to play some of the games since we can't read the instructions.
One game we have been eyeing for a while is this dancing game where you have to step on the correct square of a lighted floor in time to the music. At first glance it seems pretty simple, but the kids who play are really good at it so it's misleading. As the levels progress, the game becomes more complicated so that it's actually teaching you dance moves.
Neither of us have played before since there was always a whole crowd of kids around it, or at least too many for us to want to make fools of ourselves. Last night, though, there was almost no one there. So we gave it a shot; and yes, it was pitiful. I made it past only the first level, while Jord got eliminated right away.
I've been thinking about it ever since, just wanting to try again. We might stop by again tonight. I think I've seen a similar game for PS2, of course at Pacific Mall. I think I might have to get it. At least that's a productive way of gaming; a game that will get you fit.
