annundrielSo, Mom and I went to Wenatchee today. We just went to get out of the house and do a little bit of Christmas shopping, stocking stuffers and whatever. And then the Liberty Theater had Finding Neverland playing and I had the brilliant idea of going to see it. Hee! So good. I was afraid I wouldn't get to see it before video. Luckily they had it in Wenatchee. Moses Lake is such a pain in the ass sometimes. I mean, they don't show half of the stuff that comes out. Stupid theaters and their stupid contracts (or whatever). The Edge of Reason never came to Moses.
Anyway. Finding Neverland. Awesome. Pretty, but not too pretty. Lovely. Half the people in the theater were sniffling by the end. Good times. AND the movie had, like, everybody ever: Ian Hart (Prof. Quirrell-HP&tSS...I had a minor geek moment when I realized he was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), Mackenzie Crook (Ragetti-PotC), Angus Barnett (Mullroy-PotC), the dude who did Dobby's voice in CoS, the lady who played Mary in The Secret Garden, and the lady who played Mary in Gosford Park. Seriously. I was in unknown-British-actor fan heaven.
And then we came home and I've been going over some html stuff that wasn't working last night but is working now, thank goodness. Watched "Perry" from Smallville. Lame, not surprising, but good nonetheless. Perry White is awesome. He should come back.
Speaking of back...I'm already kind of starting to look forward to going back to school. I'm doing diddly-squat over here. Nobody's *around*. I watch BtVS and SV and read and write and pretend that I have a life. When really, that life's been left back in Seattle where there are places to go and it only takes ten minutes to get there. It's really nice to be home, don't get me wrong, but at the same time things just sort of feel on pause. Heh. Like a vacation. Which it is, obviously.
Sigh. And in the morning I've got church that I don't really feel like going to because I don't feel like I get anything religious out of the experience. When talking to Mom earlier, I likened it to last quarter's Spanish class. It's nice to go for an hour and be involved, but on the whole I feel like my time is better spent working on my own. And I'm just going to try to deal with any guilt over feeling like that by thinking that I'm not interesting enough to go to hell for having doubts about the local church and the way things are done out here. At least I'm not drowning kittens.
