Apparently, I moved to hell

I'm so tired and it's so hot. I can't get my brain to move fast enough to write. I'm just sluggish. For the first time in awhile, I'm glad I didn't get a job (even though I barely worked last month) because it's just too damn hot. And I've worked kindergarten for almost every assignment (one autistic and two K's from Hell). I could use the day off.

I think I'm going to go hide at the movies for awhile. To get into the air conditioning. Not sure what I'll go see, unless I watch Mean Girls again. Not that that's a bad thing, but it's a short movie. ;)

Sleepy.

Ba gah

Reading the meta/reviews over on Peter David's web blog is painful. They all (even PAD at times) seem to miss the point. Or, they dance around it, but *just don't get it*. Even people I disagree with on LJ and mailing lists seem to ... get it. I don't know how to describe it, but it's like this flatness of misunderstanding there and I think the major part of it comes from judging the characters by their comic personalities. We tend to get surprised if Lex does something morally ambiguious; they're all like, "But he's eveil! What?"

I don't know. Maybe it's just me me.

25 going on 13

I really can't think of a moive that makes me feel like I'm 13 again better than Peter Pan I mean the new one, with Jason Isaccs. They just got everything so *right*, and most of that is because of Rachel Herd-Wood as Wendy. She manages to capture that ... innocent joy of being a kid with a huge crush on someone. And Jeremy Sumpter is good as the recipiant of that crush, although he's less interesting than Wendy is.

But, what I love, love, *love* about the movie is Hook. He is exactly the kind of figure I would have crushed on hard when I was Wendy's age. And it's there in the movie, too. No, Hook isn't Pete, but he's facinating. And Wendy clearly is fancinated by him.
