Every generation has its sci-fi flick about hell having no fury like an artificially intelligent computer scorned.
And, because I am partial to women, my own personal horror flick would probably have a robot/computer who looks like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction (www.imdb.com/title/tt0093010/).
NOTE TO ALL: I really do not spend much time thinking about this. Really. No, really!!
All I can say is welcome to our new family relationship with mini storage. On Saturday, both my cousin and I engaged (grudgingly) in the ceremonial coma-signing of more paper than anyone could imagine for less than 100 square feet of real estate (even in New York). On Tuesday (today), we were both sent TWO questionnaires about the quality of service and attention and our overall experience when renting the storage space. I guess the computer really wants to feel the love. Whoa.
SIBEBAR: Maybe, my cousin, who is straight, would agree on my choice of Glenn Close. Note to self: ask cousin about his ideal pyscho stalker. P.S.: try not to freak him out by the question.
We exchanged ooked-out emails about the incredible attention paid to our mere rental, albeit on the NEW 9th floor of the facility.
SIDEBAR: I am thinking about the movie adaptation: trapped with the devil on a non-existent floor of an apartment building . . . maybe a twist on Rosemary’s Baby? Paging Mia Farrow (even if you looked like a pre-adolescent boy in that movie and really DID marry Woody Allen).
I told my cousin that maybe he should have thought to send flowers and candy, because they know where we live. He did not respond to that email.
SIDEBAR: I am thinking that I don’t have to worry about whether or not I will freak him out. I already have.
But, hey, I am still not as scary as a computer in need of love and affection.
Too short to develop motive, but this does creepy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urLMgLbXzHQ
