Getting what I wished for:
I've been complaining recently that my intense sanity is making it more difficult to write. I said that not being in touch with my inner nut-job is very much hurting my work. And it's true.
As some of you know, I stopped taking Abilify (a mood stabilizer) recently because we can't afford it. I'm still taking my other anti-crazy pill, so I'm not going to go completely off the deep end. But I tell you, I'm really feeling the crazy these days. I was manic for a week or so, now I'm so depressed I can hardly function. I started sobbing this morning when I couldn't play my brother's voice message on the Xbox. It was absurd.
You'd think all this crazy would be good for the prose. But I can't function well enough to both work and write. Seven and eight hour days on the phones feels like much more than I can handle, and I don't get a day to myself for at least a week. Whine Whine, I know...but I'm not sure how long I'll be able to deal with all this before I start feeling better. I can't both work and write when I'm like this, so working is all I can do since I can't call off or quit my job. I'd like to though...
It was pretty good. Spot-on in terms of visuals, even Veidt's cat was very, very well done. The fights were elongated somewhat, but that's to be expected in a film like this. The sex scene between Laurie and Dan went on for way too long, even though I can appreciate how that develops Dan's character. I wasn't very impressed with the actress who played Laurie. I did enjoy Rorschack evn though he kept doing the Batman voice. Oddly though, I enjoyed watching Adrien Veidt most of all, which was NOT my experience with the novel.
Not really sure why they changed the ending. Didn't care for it, and didn't think it was neccesary to change it. Also didn't like how the discovery that Veidt was behind it all was not all it could be. It's shocking as hell in the novel. In the movie, it was just meh. Comedian being Laurie's father was also kind of glossed over. And I don't remember Manhattan's first girlfriend being such a bitch.
That said, they did some cool things with the movie, the opening montage for example. It was an enjoyable watch, but I didn't love it the way I loved the novel.

no subject
I'm hoping this will go away after a while though.
