The Old Man Is Snoring..

Make the rain go away. Sometimes it's soothing, but most of the time the neverending gloom just makes me really depressed. Today was pretty bad in that respect, though I think it was a whole bunch of factors combining and being supplemented by the weather. Usually it makes me want to eat, or sleep, or talk to friends, but sometimes (like today) it reaches a whole new level. I didn't even feel depressed exactly, more.. listless, that's a good word. I didn't feel like eating or sleeping.. or working.. or doing anything leisurely.. or seeing or talking to anybody.. or anything.. all I felt like was crawling under my desk and never leaving. (I didn't do it, but you get the idea.)It was not cool.

4 essays down, 1 to go

I watched Harry Potter 4.. it made me feel frustrated on top of listless.. they BUTCHERED it.. I don't understand how anyone who's read the books can watch it without gnawing off an arm.. and I don't understand how people who haven't read it can enjoy it without understanding the depth of it.. they hardly explained ANYTHING in ANY proximity to the depth they go into in the book.. they left out SOO much.. and changed shit around.. what the fuck did they do with Dobby? bastards.. and they made the arrival of the visiting schools some kind of freak show.. they were NORMAL KIDS!! NOT ACROBATS!! I thought they mangled the end of the first movie though I enjoyed the second and the third.. but come on.. the 4th has been the best book in the series so far and they did a TERRIBLE job adapting it.. it makes me want to force everyone who hasn't read the books and claims it's good to read them and understand how much better they are.. anyone who thinks the books are better than the movies is just too shallow to appreciate them.

But that's just my opinion.

Rain makes me think of Eponine's song "On My Own" in Les Mis.

Cheer up Jenny, the semester is almost over. Then you can learn Rhapsody in Blue and envy can eat my face AGAIN. You're too great for words.

I still haven't seen the new Harry Potter movie, and your review makes me wonder if I ought to at all...

Was it the same director as the other movies? Maybe it was just a bad director or a stuck up one that was like, we are doing it this way and thats final. Like the family guy episode where Peter takes over lois' production of the King and I. Its a classic episode. hahahaa

Hey Jenn! How are ya?
I agree...HP4 was somewhat lacking on the emotional level...I hated how Hermione suddenly flips out on Ron at the ball and we're supposed to know about their little thing...sigh.

Cho wasn't hot enough. Boo.
