Minor Updates

In between falling into Homework Hell and climbing back out, I got nothing done. At least, nothing constructive towards writing.

Work is busy and getting busier.

I got five points back on an assignment I didn't do so well on. :)

I feel like a dork cause I posted like five times on a certain website saying that the stupid link to my blog wouldn't show up. I posted three times, the first one with the link. The second two showed up, the first didn't. I posted like four times after that trying to get it to work. Nada - or at least on my screen. I gave up. Went back today, and guess what had appeared? All of them! Loser, I can be. Technology is not my friend.

I'm reading a book I'm not entirely a fan of, and am debating selling it afterwards, except that I'm debating collecting all the books of that author. I think for her, with me, her books are a hit or miss thing. This is one of those misses. *sigh*

I saw Twilight. What to say?... It was oriented towards a younger audience than the books. It was good, not great, but good. I liked a few things they added/changed quite a bit. Jasper reminds me perpetually of Johnny Depp's Willy Wonka. He just does. Edward didn't seem all that intelligent at times. Rosalie kicked ass. Edward bugged me whenever he talked to Charlie. They could have added so much more if they had done some internal dialogue like they did at the beginning throughout the movie of Bella. Afterall, it was a first-person book. When everyone leaped together in the baseball field, looked hokey. All "running" looked hokey. Climbing kicked butt. Rosalie was great. Alice not so sure. Emmet was great as well. Not entirely sure I liked Esme. Carlisle seemed strange half the time. I have a nice, happy, very happy, new respect for James being the new hot man on the block. He didn't seem overly anything in the pic I saw outside the movie. In the movie, his hair sucked. But, BUT, he was a sexy, badass villain. Attractive in his evilness!!! I liked, a lot, how there was more than one race at school. Kudos to the director on that note. I think I like Eric better as a perky guy than before. Annddd... I think that's it for now. It was a decent move, especially as a book adaption. They covered all the main points, but it kind of felt like they were just sequencing it all too fast with no building. Again, the internal dialogue would have done wonders. Overall, it was good. Young, but good. I can see why it got bad reviews, being expected as a movie for all ages. It definately adds a new/interesting dimension to the book. I suggest seeing/reading them both for the full experience. Now I just need to see Bolt. And Madagascar Two. And Role Models. And maybe Zack and Kiri. Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist was ok. I really liked all the side characters much more than the two main. Probably not a good thing when that happens

I was reading that book mentioned above and in the book someone just popped a raspberry in his mouth fresh off the vine. Nice, right? Nope. The only idiotic thing I could think of was that he hadn't washed it. How reflective in our society that we feel ingrained to wash fresh produce. Bugs, fertilizer, pesticides. Obviously, not used in this fantastic private garden. Or he just has fewer health compunctions than I do. I'm thinking the pesticides are out - the gardner uses manure. Anyways, it just bugged me and I had to share.

Here's a question. Has anyone seen the art of telling the future through a painting anywhere else than in Heroes and that new movie with super-powers in it? My friend told me the director or something of the movie tried to sue someone of Heroes for stealing the idea. I could have sworn it has been done before. It seems so obvious! I have yet to think of an instant.

I think that is it for now.

My shoes are beginning to fall apart at work. I think it is time to buy some new ones. Dang.

Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving! Unlike Christmas, if you are American you should be celebrating this one, regardless of the negative hype of Columbus and the stupid stuff he did. I kind of want to go back in time and shoot the man. Only, if I did, being my pretty white self, I would probably not exist. Which means I kind of have to support him in a way. How bizzare.
