futon and troy

i was all a-grumpy about having to get up and dismantle our old futon and such but now it's gone and hallelujah! we have a front room again. and it's only 10:20. heh. only.

i feel strange and a bit discombobulated... perhaps liberal amounts of coffee will right this.

i hope to get a lot done today... and that's always a dangerous way to start a day.

camillafarfalla and i went and saw troy. second time for her, sort of second time for me. i saw it while in VA but got a call while in the theater inviting me to dinner and so i left about 15 minutes before the end. so... the first time, i really liked it. i was rather moved by achilles, while bored by the battle scenes. this time though... um. what was i thinking? thing is, i'm still attached to the whole achilles part...if they made a 30 minute movie out of just the achilles scenes, i'd probably like it. but the rest was such frickin drivel! oy.

and see, i think brad pitt is a very good actor. i've liked him for a long time, but not in a 'fan' way so much as a... well, a person who thinks he's a good actor way. and i still think so. i think he did quite a good job with the material he was given in this movie. same for eric bana. i wish i could say the same for dear orlando. he certainly does a good job of looking pretty. and the scenes where he gets to show emotions besides 'besotted' or 'vomitously sincere' were better than most. i hope he gets to play a role with oh, i don't know, interesting lines soon. i feel like i have no sense of him as an actor. a good sense of his well-oiled torso, but not his acting, no.

bean was good though. yay bean!

ambivalent about rats' asses, myself

so, i went through my huge backlog of comments today. some of you no doubt received some bizarrely untimely responses. but not many. i declared amnesty for myself for all the comments before and during my time in VA. i just don't have the time it would take to respond to all of those.

but i am extremely grateful for all those comments - the packing tips, the general love and support and good wishes, the thoughts on angel and snape and all that stuff. it made my time there nicer to have some interaction with you all.

my weird funk of this morning continued throughout the day. and i didn't get nearly as much done as i would have liked. but i did have coffee with starbuckle this evening. 'twas lovely. and some random hippie kid (soulkiddo, he said his name was) read us his poetry. which really wasn't so bad, i didn't think.

so, i have many an open window but i am just going to read a little more of the h/d chapter!fic and head to bed. so, tomorrow, i should remember:

hackthis bobby/st. john
musesfool sirius/remus
er, whatever this sirius/remus is. someone recced it.
and i should give more feedback to jacito and dorrie6's drabbles because they are so. fucking. good.
