It's only 2? What the hell? Something in my head is telling me it's much later. Oh well. Five years ago, I would have been at work by this time, looking forward to a long day away from my ex-roommate's apartment. It seems like a long time ago now.

The apartment feels weird now. I've gotten so used to another person being around that it feels kind of empty. I had a good time with Fangs. I just hope that he had a good time too. I hope his return flight is safe and uneventful - no crying babies, freaking out women, or refridgerator meltdowns.

This is also my third day on brand Synthroid. I haven't noticed a marked difference, though the cold I got this weekend has lingered in my ears in a strange way. I'd say it feels tender from my collarbone up to my ears and every so often I'll get these deep aches in them. Last night it was particularly bad, to the point that I was taking sinus pills in hopes to relieve the pressure.

Other than that, nine days til the next Harry Potter movie. I'm really looking forward to it, because I get to see someone's direction of a story I already know. On the other hand, I'm nervous about seeing the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, because I'm worried that it's going to be too religion heavy. The trailer is beautiful and it looks like the imagery is going to be fantastic, but I worry that Disney's selling Christ as much as Mel Gibson did. To be honest, the old cartoon version of it never made me think of the alagory parts of it. It was a story, but with the way things have been going lately, I don't particularly want to go to a movie where Jesus is getting shoved down my throat (Yes, go ahead, think of the porno implications in that thought.)

It's funny that some books are written in the Christian/Judeo God aspect, while others make up their own. I find it easier to swallow something that isn't shoving religion down your throat. Good vrs Evil is fine, even though lines can be easily blurred or crossed. Intentions are worth only as much as the people around you take them, I've paved a good bit of roading for hell, I can assure you.

Ok... I've been far to random and I want to read a bit of the new novel I picked up, Foxmask. I really need to do an updated Amazon list, because there are a crapload of books that I need to get to.

Yeah, I usually dislike books, movies etc that are written in the Christian perspective etc. I don't mind good vs. evil, like you, but I really don't like reading about something that is entirely about one religious view point, especially if it's Christianity or Judaism.

Oh, and I love your new layout!

I'm glad you understand. A lot of people just don't get where I'm coming from when I say that. It's funny that I read Philip Pulman's Dark Materials Trilogy and just didn't get the same feeling of religion in it as I have in others. I think if I read something that's of a religious view point, I'd rather read non-fiction/historical stuff, than a fiction piece used as an alagory. I'm really hoping that the Narnia movie will focus more on the effects and strange creatures than the background message.

Thanks for the compliment on the layout. I love this particular Froud picture and decided it needed to be my background, I really like the layout too, it moves very smoothly!
