i'm down to actively reading one book. finished harry potter. finished everything's eventual. finished bag of bones. still reading fragile things. trying to read fools
but for some reason i just can't get into it. i think maybe i don't
like getting 100 pages into a book and still not be able to understand
what the hell is going on. the writing's good, the characters are good.
i just don't like that perpetual state of, "...what?" that i have when i'm
reading it. 
i think after fragile things i'll go back and read the first 6 hp's or splurge and get another gaiman book. hm. i also have two or three SK novels i've either not read or haven't finished that i could grab up.
this is all very boring.
i should be doing something other than what i'm doing,
which is a bunch of nothing. once again i woke up on time and said fuck
all and went back to sleep for another hour thus making myself about 15
minutes late for work. ask me if i care. please. ask me. the only thing
i come here for is to get paid and tell my staff to do the shit i don't
wanna. this is a stupid waste of time job in a boring ass field and
never in a million prillion years did i think i'd find myself shirking
duties to people under me. middle management is Teh Debil.
there's this one attorney here. i want to sharpen something with his eyeball. i have hypoglycemia, fucktard. i get cold. if you make fun of my heater again i'm going to introduce it to your sphincter.
i'm supposed
to go to Access database training today from 1-2:30 but i think imma
skip it because i'd rather read SK's Bag of Bones. btw, the UK version
of Deathly Hallows is full of typos and suckishness. not UK typos like
'colour' or 'behaviour' or 'travelling' because those aren't typos,
damn it, but things like, "The
hallway was large, dimly light," and "they were drawn upward to the
strangest feature of the scenes an apparently unconscious human figure hanging
upside down over the table,". fuck harry potter. i'm all about stephen
king. fuck harry potter until thursday. when i have the US edition,
that is.
we watched Arthur and the Invisibles yesterday with the kids and it actually was kind of a cool movie. i really love Freddy Highmore anyways, since the James And The Giant Peach days, ... wait wait. no, that was paul terry. nevermind. maybe i'm thinking of Finding Neverland? he was in that, right? shit. IT DOESN'T MATTER. i like his messed up teeth and he has just about the greatest british accent since Christian Bale fauxed one for Empire of the Sun (ilovethatmoviewithmouth).
ANYWAY.
it was good.
mia farrow's in it and like always, she reminds you why she is the most lovable
of lovables and that Woody Allen is a pedocretin. how she does this by just
saying her lines is beyond me; it surpassed modern understanding. just accept
it.
the Minimoys are voiced by an all star cast: Robert DeNiro, Harvey Keitel, Jimmy Fallon, Chaz Palminteri, Emilio Estevez and *dun dun dunnnnnnnn* Madonna, whose presence, i figured, would have shit-caked the whole thing and outright doomed this movie to the Film Graveyard. but she's good in it. yeah, i said it. she's good. maybe that skanktress should stick to the voice acting rather than showcasing her less than stellar, quite-possibly-more-wooden-than-Ben-Affleck talents on the screen. everybody wins.
then we started to watch Alice in Wonderland but i was more than slightly offended by the stereotypical irish gardeners. who'da thunk an irishman could do a horrible impersonation of an irish accent? not me, that's who. what's worse is that the one guy who did an okay job of it, was italian. but damn if tina marjorino didn't grow up nice.
that's all the bitchery i can spew for now. i'm going to go smoke until my head explodes.
