i'm gonna eat you, bob.
I swear it takes over a week of some kind of adjustment period for me to get absolutely anything done outside of work when I get a new job. Even with only working these little four-hour shifts the rest of my day keeps getting sucked into this weird "What is my routine again?" funk. And Sara wants to watch so much Lost, which is difficult to resist. Long rambling post about season three, now that I'm at the end of it, is probably coming soon.
As for the work, it's not bad. The test I'm scoring has a less complicated rubric so it took a lot less time to get used to. I'm definitely not missing the nine-hour days I took on last time.
I am getting pretty excited about Girl With the Dragon Tattoo...There's an 8-minute trailer for it on iTunes right now.
I do feel a little annoying for not really giving a damn about the book (or I guess not being motivated to brave the discomfort of reading it) and then not really giving a damn about the Swedish film and then being excited about the new one, but I admit it took Daniel Craig and David Fincher and a certain Trent Reznor to make me look like this dinosaur.
I don't think it's going to be a perfect movie. I can admit that putting this kind of story in the hands of a director who's been less than perfect with the treatment of female characters in the past...could be a problem. But damn, I feel like I'm going to like, platonically ship the crap out of these two characters even without knowing very much about the novel. I have high hopes.
Thank God Rooney Mara is a better actress than her sister. I miss when Kate Mara was just Ennis del Mar's adorable button-nosed daughter in Brokeback Mountain to me; her character in American Horror Story is so fucking jarring after a while. (I feel bad for saying this because it would really kill me if my sister and I were both actresses or something and she was far more acclaimed than I was, LOL.)
I am behind on Misfits, Walking Dead, and American Horror Story. The only thing I seem to keep up with is SPN. Speaking of Supernatural, there is...a certain spoiler going around, and I'm not unhappy about it, but I wish I didn't know about it.
