Subject line basically sums up my mood at the moment. I've been struck hardcore by writers block. No inspiration, and while trying to force it sometimes has satisfactory results, this time it's just resulting in total crap. Plus this weekend I'll be busy - going up to Baltimore for the last good times in Kat's apartment before her lease is up, and then the Folklife Festival on the Mall on Sunday, hopefully.
Other than that, I work, I come home, and I watch TV or read. Working my way through HP, just finished GoF and am watching the movie right now. I'm a bit immersed in the Potterverse at the moment, actually, if not in the fandom. And I've been working on grad/loan stuff as well, which is taking up a lot of time, energy, and anxiety.
This space will be interesting again. Sooner rather than later.
I'm sorry, could Harry/Ron/Hermione be any more OT3 in this? And could Sirius/Lupin be any more OTP in OotP? I'm sure much of the book 's content will hit the cutting room floor (personally, I hope they drop the Grawp subplot entirely), but please leave us the heartbreaking slashy subtext. Cuaron did!
That reminds me, I finally saw "Pan's Labyrinth," which was a stunningly beautiful movie. I cried for about half an hour after it was over. Maribel Verdu is an amazing actress and the girl who played Ofelia was wonderful too. So that rounds out my top three of 2006, as I figured it would - "Stranger Than Fiction," "Children of Men," and "Pan's Labyrinth." How 'bout those people just make all the movies in the world from now on?
Man, maybe it's not a good idea to watch the films immediately after finishing the books, at least the longer ones. The huge chunks of text missing are confusing me and preventing me from viewing the movie subjectively - tje Crouches don't translate all that well, I'm thinking. I still miss Richard Harrs, too. But it's nice how much the kids have improved.
ETA: the Bodies exhibit was way cool, as you might imagine. Dad wrote them an entire page of feedback. In the last room, there was a guy there with his daughter who looked eight or nine, and I thought that was just exceptionally neat. He was explaining to the lady at the desk that she wouldn't have nightmares about this sort of thing - she sounded very smart - and then the little girl asked what happens to our souls when we died. Hee. Poor museum volunteer lady.
