Sunday is the saddest day of the week
It is getting a bit weird, this attraction I have to Stark. Mostly because he's not normally the fictional character I lust over. I think it's the combination of the ego and intelligence. And the hotness. Whatever it is, the more I see him the more pretty much the only thought in my head is "I want to use him like a jungle gym". Like, the ruder and more sarcastic he is the hotter he gets . . . I have issues I think.
I forgot how much I really adore Stardust and how much seeing the movie makes me want to reread the book because while I love the movie and I think they did a good job of staying rather true to the main point of the book there are just some things I love more about the book. Even while I recognize they would've made for a rather dull movie at certain points ( For instance, I love the ending fight scene of the movie. It's really pretty badass and Tristan is very hot during the entire thing. I also love the images of Tristan, his mother, the witch, and Septimus all racing toward the wall. But I also love the simplicity in the book of the witch not being defeated by physical force or anything spectacular, but rather just the simple fact that Yvaine tells her her heart no longer belongs to her and is thus not hers to give away. Now, the movie does a good job of showing that it's Tristan and Yvaine's love for each other that defeats the witch in a very awesome light show that I love, but I read the book first so it's the scene I prefer when it comes down to it.
One thing I don't really like is the very end of the movie at the coronation. It ties things up too well. I think it would've been fine if it ended in the witch's castle and with Tristan's mother telling Tristan he's the king and then having the narrator (how much do I still love that Ian McKellen was the narrator) explain what happened. I especially didn't like that it looked like they hooked up Tristan's mother and father because all they had was a one night stand and in the book his father was married and Tristan spent his life thinking another woman was his mother.).
I don't wanna work tomorrow. Sigh. I feel like I wasted today because I wasn't lazy at home. I was lazy at someone else's home. But it's just not the same. Mostly because if I'd stayed home I'd have finished up Eureka season 2 today and now I won't.
Still haven't watch Doctor Who or Torchwood. I'm in the process of ahemming DW, though. I'll get to it soon. I have to. My laptop is telling me I'm running out of space and I had to delete BSG.
So, clearly, a way to make some money is to find something that I can pass off as containing the image of Jesus or Mary because there will be some person who will buy it. So, note to self, pay more attention to raisin bran in the mornings.
