now that i'm not trying to procrastinate, i don't blog!
what a life i lead.
anyway, here's an update.
watching:
Jane Eyre, 2006. a decent version, with a PERFECT Jane Eyre and a kind of wimpy Rochester (Dalton will always be my favorite). a bit of extraneous sexiness, as modern filmmakers seem wont to do for remakes of old, chaste, novels (see: Pride and Prejudice, 2006, which Rainster and I were grumbling about before...Elizabeth would not have run out into the moors in her pajamas, only to meet Darcy in his pajamas. GAH.)Stranger than Fiction. Basically, I agree with everything torgo said. about the ending especially.
reading:
Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, Gregory Maguire (he wrote Wicked, which I thought was great). FINALLY something low stress and entertaining.
looking forward to:
Rainster's Boston visit
Chicago in 3 days
graduation in 8 days
shaking my head about:
this.
honestly? i talk during the movies. i don't talk LOUDLY, but i kind of think that's part of the fun. that being said, i probably wouldn't talk during a pops performance (because, really? it's not like in the movies. i mean, what are you saying? not "aw, crap, she better not go in there," or "take him back, he really loves you!") anyway, i can understand the passing whisper. but i draw the line at punching someone in the face. i mean, have some decorum.

I didn't know they did a recent version of Jane Eyre!
they did! it's pretty good too -- a four part version. if i didn't like the jane so much i probably could take it or leave it, but the jane is totally perfect.
