winter_rogueYeah, so i just finished marathoning all three x-men movies (shut-up, i like the xmen) and i think the whole reason the third one flops is for the simple reason that Brian Singer wasnt in charge. straight up.
its so depressing. when it comes to art--which is what good movies are--why cant people just put aside all their differences for the sake of the project? not that i blame him, cuase the imdb article on the hang-ups between him and Fox were particularly vague but it just all sounds so dreadfully reminiscent of Joss Whedon's problems getting the RIpper spin-off off the ground etc.
maybe Fox just has issues, who knows.
In other news, cranking out my little knitting project, i did about...gosh almost 9" of small rib + small stockinette stitch in about 3 days working off and on for several hrs each day. but i got it done so i can work on the bust pattern i think i have to do about 4 1/2 more inches of that before shaping the armholes. its an adventure.
I finally watched the BBC Persuasion from last yr. I broke down and dled BitTorrent so i could get it since one of the links had expired. I think i might become a torrent addict now cause i really want to get a copy of Children of Dune too (shut-up, its James McAvoy and Dune Messiah was the best book) But back to Persuasion--lovely, so so lovely. I love Rupert Penry Jones. and the chick was good. Plus Anthony Stewart Head playing the obnoxious self-involved father was great.
I've also started writing a little again. There was a good month where i felt disinclined to writing, it all turned out crap. but i get so bored at work i've picked it up again. i really like what i've written so far, but beginnings were never the problem, its the middle bits that get me, shifting from the easy opening descriptive exposition to actual action and adventure and dialogue. *sigh*
Thats about it.
