Wasting Time. 'Cause I Can.

annundrielThe problem with having nothing to do is that you have a lot of time in which to do nothing.
Today my nothing-ness has included: reading, writing, and watching Horatio Hornblower and deleted scenes/bloopers from Pirates of the Caribbean. Which is all fun, but really not very productive in any sort of way. Except for, perhaps, the writing.
I noticed on HH today that in Duty Bush is totally ready to climb into the cupboard to get away from Maria's mother's advances. I hadn't noticed that before! "Tell me, are you married Mr. Bush?" "No, I am not..." He's just about bent over backward to avoid her. Poor William. Also, I rather like Midshipman Orrock. And, of course, Admiral Pellew. Who is almost attacked by Maria's mother as well. I wonder what Pellew's back-story is anyway?
And then watching the deleted scenes/bloopers from PotC I realized that Kasey was, in fact, right. There is no way I will ever be able to put PotC on at school and not be sucked in. Even during the Will parts. I will spend the entire wondering why Elizabeth is such an idiot and lament the fact that no one loves the commodore. (Except Jack, but that's another distraction all together. Heh.) The other half of the time I'll be distracted by Commodore Norrington himself and Captain Sparrow. Because, yeah.
Oh, I hope my grades don't suffer too badly.
Speaking of Will though. I think I've figured out my problem with him. A bit. It's not Will so much as it is Orlando. And not so much Orlando as it is his method of acting. It's strangely declarative and that kind of bothers me. Possibly this will improve with more roles that involve more acting and less action I will come to appreciate Orlando. But as it stands? Give him to the penguins.
But I suppose the declarative way of speaking does serve the character of Will. He's young and naive and pretty opinionated. And young, naive, opinionated people like to state things. *shrug* I don't know. I do find that I'm liking Will in several of things I'm reading, however, so I'll just blame Mr. Bloom at the moment.
So, yes. This is all true.

And I keep meaning to tell you, again, that I absolutely love the song. The music itself just gets into your head.
My capacity for geekiness amazes even me sometimes.
