Just a short update before November

I have 1 movie and book to add to my lists.
Book:
(49) The Fiery Cross - Diana Gabaldon. Only one more to go before I'm done with this series. Honestly, I'm a little tired of it. The series lost its grip on me after the 3rd book. Not sure why though. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for it anymore. Anyway. The book was ok. Long, but ok. I have a serious crush on Roger, but that could be because I picture Gerard Butler as Roger while I'm reading. Yeah.

I find it immensely amusing that my 50th book will be World War Z. Why, I don't know. *points to self* Easily amused.

Movie:
(117) Saw III - Caught the 10pm showing last night. Was about like the last one. I hope they end with this one.

I'm sad that I haven't been able to see The Departed or The Prestige yet. I say yet in the hopes of maybe going this week to see at least one of them. It'd be much easier if they opened here in town. The Departed did, but I didn't get the chance to see it - the movie theater here doesn't open until after 5pm after the school year starts. They're both still playing in Clinton though.

I hope the theater here will show Casino Royale opening weekend. It opens on my birthday, and going to see it will be my present to myself. :D I love Daniel Craig and James Bond movies.

In other news, I upgraded my video card in my lovely computer. It's not top of the line by any means, but I can play the Sims with all graphic settings on high (My Sims have fingers now!!!) with no problems. I have also purchased the Open for Business expansion pack. It's ok. I kinda wish I had saved my money and bought the Pets EP instead.

And that's what I've been doing with my time. Well, that and playing Justice League Heroes and God of War. I was pleasantly surprised with Justice League Heroes. It's an actual superhero game I can play without getting sick/dizzy/nauseous/headachy/whatever. It's those jerky camera movements that do it. I'm quite sad that most of the new games I want to play are like that. Like Kingdom Hearts. I've had it for over a year, but I haven't played it because after 10 minutes, I want to vomit.

Have a happy Halloween! I'm all jealous of those of you who get to dress up. I wanted to get all zombified and walk around town moaning, but alas, I cannot. Well I could but I'd be alone and that's just no fun.
