New Year whatever
Okay, so the New Year was spent going to see the last Hobbit film and sitting down for drinks afterwards. Just how I like it. :)
The film.. well, while enjoyable for its visual qualities and the characters that actually got some development, was cheesy and ridiculous as heck. I was at times either laughing or rolling my eyes at scenes that most likely were not supposed to cause that kind of reaction.
Why is Legolas even in this film an overpowered videogame character? Why are all the orcs besides Azog and Bolg basically just mooks? Even freaking little Bilbo can knock down a few with freaking STONES. Oh and the romance... I did like it in the previous film, but jeez it was just too corny and Tauriel was basically relegated to a damsel in distress love interest. *sigh* At least the film did a better job with Bilbo and Thorin.
Anyway, I do feel like reading the book again, because I remember almost nothing of it (but I do know the films are nearly nothing like it anyway. :D ).
Okay... and some resolutions...
What I wish for 2015 is to FINALLY finish my darn thesis, which is pretty much stuck in the same situation as it was a year ago. Go me!!
Also.. hope to deal with my mental issues. 10 years of depression and anxiety= not fun.
I do go to a psychiatric clinic for.. stuff. So that's a start. I went off my antidepressants though (because of reasons) and ironically the pills for insomnia and anxiety make me more anxious... so yeah. (But if I take something I take those) At times I have been feeling better and at times.. Not so much. I dealt with some awful crap during the summer that I think pushed me over the edge and I'm prob. not going to recover from it for a while.
I also hope to take better care of myself and my place of living. It's really hard to not live in filth although I don't want to... It's just that when I'm not feeling well, nothing really comes out of anything.
Anyway, here's hoping for a better year! (And preparing to be disappointed again)
