Oh my god. I don't remember feeling this tired from lack of sleep in a long time. Every ounce of my body just wants to crawl back into bed and stay there until noon. z_z We ended up going out last night to see Memoirs of a Geisha... I was glad that Steve ended up suggesting it to make me feel better after feeling kind of sick, especially since I'm not sure how much longer the film will be in theatres. I really wanted the chance to see it on the big screen. ^^
I was happy with it... I think the book was definately better because you feel so much more a part of the world in which Sayuri lives... and you also feel much closer to her. I had so much fun reading the book; I was dying to know what would happen next and wanted to read more pages but at the same time, I was sad that it would eventually end. It's like finding a friend in the pages of a book. ^^; The movie didn't quite instill that feeling in me, unfortunately, but it was still great to see what an okiya actually would look like and how colourful the kimono are. I was disappointed that Nobu had both of his arms but I suppose I can understand why they chose to do that. I really liked seeing the Chairman's expressions and reactions to Nobu and Sayuri though... it made the whole plot more obvious, but it was neat to see a bit more as an outside viewer. I liked it better in the book when you don't realise what had been going on, that it was the Chairman who really did forge a path for Sayuri's future as a geisha. X3 You're as surprised as she is and it makes for such a good, surprise ending.
I want to go read the book again now. :9
Man... I just want to sleep. T_T Why do I have to get up so damn early to get to work?? Waugh! This life routine of working 9-5 every day really blows. T_T;; Especially on only 4 hours of sleep... I don't know how the heck I'm going to make it through the day... @_@
