The husband & I saw Prince Caspian over the weekend. The husband thought it was kind of lame, but I liked it. He says Anna Popplewell, who plays Susan, is hot, but that's the only thing he really liked about it. He also thinks her last name is really amusing, but he can never remember it so he's taken to calling her Poppin' Fresh. XD
I thought that the extra action scenes worked well, although I wish there would have been more of Caspian & the Narnians and of the Pevensies making their way from Cair Paravel. I liked the way the trees fought, with their roots snaking through the ground instead of just walking around and smacking people with their branches. It looked cool and it seemed more tree-like, if that makes any sense. It seemed more like trees fighting tree-style than trees fight people-style, I guess. Susan was a bit more badass, which was
nice.
I would have liked less giant Jesus lion, although I suppose that's kind of the point. It's not so much Aslan himself as it's that he just shows up and boom! everything's resolved. The people and animals didn't really do much to win the final fight. They fought the battles leading up to it, but they were mostly irrelevant at the end. I realize that it's kind of the same in the book, but I felt like the movie really emphasized Aslan's role at the expense of the other characters' contributions.
Somebody needs to write some Peter/Caspian fic, stat.
I uploaded another song; I couldn't resist, even though it's more applicable to The Dawn Treader, I suppose. Phish- Prince Caspian
Last night I dreamed about the movie Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken. It's about a girl who rides diving horses during the depression. In the dream I was the diving girl and I was trying to do my first blind jump. I was climbing up to the jumping platform and I had to hold onto the rail so that I could tell where I needed to go, but even though I was blind I could still see. Anyway, it wouldn't be that notable of a dream, except I've never actually seen the movie. I had to google diving horses just to find out the name of it.
The other day the husband was cursing at the computer and ended up telling me that YouTube is a dirty, dirty whore. I automatically thought "Like your mom?", but I didn't actually say it. 'Your mom' is is a pretty standard response to just about anything, but, now that his mom is my mother-in-law, I feel guilty about saying it. I know that it doesn't actually mean anything, but I like her and she's related to me now. I'd feel bad saying it, but it's also weird to feel like I have to censor myself when I'm just making a lame-ass joke.
This week & next week are shaping up to be the busiest weeks of this year so far so I may not be around very much.
This week:
Tomorrow- My two year wedding anniversary
Friday- Brother #2 gets into town for the first time in months. Cue family get togethers.
Saturday- Bridal shower for Kristin, for which I must bring food.
Other things I have to do this week- Buy a shower gift for Krisitn and a wedding gift for Buzz, clean my entire house since I'll have guests at some point, buy the husband a birthday gift, go shopping with my grandmother so that she can buy the husband a birthday gift, get new brake pads on the husband's car, & help Kristin put together her wedding programs.
Next week:
Tuesday- Buzz gets into town. Must do various maid of honor-type things.
Wednesday- The husband's birthday
Thursday- Buzz's bachelorette (which I am hosting)
Friday- Bridesmaid's luncheon, wedding rehearsal, & rehearsal dinner
Saturday- Buzz's wedding
At some point in the midst of all this I have to finish my rikkai_exchange fic.
