I have about twenty-three minutes before my midnight deadline, which is annoying because I’m actually doing things I enjoy right now and this (not for the first time) is getting in the way. But I made a deal (with myself, but still a deal), and I’m not going to break it. So now comes a really quick post about the boring things I’ve done today.
First and foremost was work, where I read through about a hundred and fifty pages of Jane Eyre. It’s actually shaping up to be a decent novel… for a classic. It’s not what you would expect. The wordiness is actually pretty good, and the characters themselves aren’t the ones you’d usually expect. I think this is one classic I may actually end up enjoying.
Then, once that was out of the way, I fixed all of my computer problems (which thankfully did not involve a reformat), and watched the first Pirates of the Caribbean. Johnny Depp never ceases to amaze me, and Geoffrey Rush is awesome. I think Orlando Bloom is there for looks, but he’s a decent actor in himself. And Keira Knightly is actually a pretty good actress, though the character is more than cheesy. Actually, the entire movie is completely and utterly full of cheese… but sometimes that just works. And here it makes one of the most spontaneously funny movies I’ve seen in a long time. Really, only The Hangover is more spontaneously funny than Curse of the Black Pearl.
SONG OF THE DAY: JUST BREATHE
Anthony wanted songs back, so I’ll give you songs back. This is a slow, acoustic Pearl Jam tune from Backspacer, and it’s pretty deep if you take the time to listen. Now this has taken approximately eighteen minutes… so before it wastes any more of my time I will say goodnight.
