my opinion matters

i read the other boleyn girl in about 2 days, which is impressive for me because i’m not a speed reader and the book was 660 pages long. but it read fast and that makes me happy because i absolutely LOVED this book. unfortunately for myself and for ryan, i was determined to see the film because 1) the book was so good there’s no WAY they could mess up the movie 2) karolyn saw it twice and loved it now, i know what you’re thinking – you’re seriously taking karolyn’s advice on movies? you two have completely different tastes! she’s a pi, donnie darko, requiem for a dream and you’re a mean girls, rent, coyote ugly. but, nonetheless, i gave it a shot. and it was a waste of time and money. it’s like whoever adapted the book into a screenplay just opened the book to random pages and said, “let’s use this!” with no regard to plot of the book, the dialogue of the book, or historical accuracy. and that is excessively irritating. what sucks is not only did i suffer through it, but so does ryan. ...

i am excited about my new blog, which was inspired by dorothy’s new madagascar blog for the peace corps, found here at: http://pcvdorothy.blogspot.com/ i’m not quite sure what i will be using this blog for, but as my interest in xanga has fallen by the wayside (mostly because the only person who ever read it was my sister and that was every few months) and i no longer keep a journal on paper, this seems the logical progression. plus, i really like the word blog. blogblogblogblogblog.
