Settling down
things are getting more normal. less weird at the very least. i'm still retching a little bit after watching a Golden Compass. i was so ready for another good book to movie conversion... but alas. it was most DEFINITELY not to be. at every turn was a bad line, misinterpreted area, or complete randomness. it was eragon level. i'm losing my faith in these movie people who just lean on special effects. lord of the rings seems to have been the first and last of good book movies. other than that, i'm still procrastinating on getting christmas presents this year.. which is typical. time is still being a problem. its so easy to just waste it doing things that are fun instead of work or other things. it's hard to not spend working time on figuring out how to get people together, fail, and then find time has slipped away.

oh no! I haven't seen Golden Compass yet, and I had a lot of hope for it...
what do you think? should I not go at all, or do the dramatic threatrics of the imagery in a big theater make it at least visually appealing enough?
I thought Chronicles of Narnia wasn't too bad on the book-to-movie. I was actually rather pleased with it. I hear they're doing Prince Caspian. I hope they don't destroy it.
I also heard that they initially asked Tom Stoppard to write the screenplay for Golden Compass, and then didn't use it. TOM STOPPARD! He wrote Arcadia and Rosencrantz and Guildenstarn are Dead. I really really like his work. I think he actually did write something for them and I really hope that his version still exists, if for no other reason than to see how Tom Stoppard would have done it.
