So, wow, long time no update.
Well, we (we being Pidge and mum and I) went to see Prisoner of Azkaban on the IMAX last night, and wow holy crap the dementors just-this-close-to made me pee myself. Jeez, like they weren't bad enough on the big screen, now they're to the right, to the left, and HOLY SHIZ RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AAH! And the hyppogriff scene? On IMAX? Whoah cool. So, although there were some things I definitely DIDN'T want to see 40-bajillion stories high (like, say, Aunt Marge's inflation or Stan Shunpike's acne - no matter how much I adore Lee Ingleby) the experience was overall WAY COOL. (I'm also now on the prowl for some sub!Draco, because the way he simpers kept giving me ideas)
And I drove home in the snow. Yay.
Lately we've been discussing existentialism in AP English, and I think you all (most, some... well, the demented ones among you) know what that means... LATE CHRISTMAS EVE FIC! Sometime. When I have time. Which I don't right now, because I have Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (wow really good play and I adore reading the part of Guildenstern), The Picture of Dorian Grey (can you say "excuse to watch Wilde"?), and The First Salute (whee my USH term paper is about the Royal Navy) to read, along with rereading Sense and Sensibility for Jane Austen class (go Janeites!) and remembering to either italicize or underline the titles of books and plays.
But there's always econ class.
Oh, and as a last note:
Bertrice Small is not that good of a writer. Hm.

Date: 2005-01-07 08:26 am (UTC)Must rent (buy?) Wilde this weekend. And not only is Jude Law in there, but a certain Mr 'Hornblower' as well. Actually, a lot of pretty boyfaces. Being... intriguing. And... you know... feasting with panthers, and all that.
Oh, and yes, the IMAX was fun-- no I don't think it's still out generally. It's on home release, isn't it?

Date: 2005-01-07 02:54 pm (UTC)I nearly fell off of the couch I was sitting on when I saw Ioan in Wilde, wasn't expecting him at all. Too bad about him having the world's most unflattering hair cut. It's crazy how much Jude Law's character is like Dorian Grey, but it works so nicely. *loves*

Date: 2005-01-07 09:47 pm (UTC)And I'm not entirely sure that Dorian was completely based off of Bosie because Dorian was published the same year as Wilde met him, I don't know actual dates but they were both in 1981. I'm sure there was some overlap with the tantrums, but usually it takes one longer than a year to write a novel, yes? Plus Dorian (to me at least) comes across as a vicious bastard, and it seems that Wilde wouldn't make his love that gross of a person.

Date: 2005-01-10 08:35 pm (UTC)Bosie could have served as a bit of a model in the later versions of PoDG, because it was published about two more times until it was finally what we're reading now. It seems too crazy-romantic for Wilde to write a novel, and then meet the main character only to fall madly in love with in. Still, weirder things have happened.

Date: 2005-01-10 08:42 pm (UTC)But the latest stuff he added/edited was in 91, unless I'm being retarded again. I just think, psychologically speaking, if he has enough affinity for a personage to create it as a character, then if he did come across someone similar it would be the person most likely to garner his attentions.

Date: 2005-01-10 08:55 pm (UTC)There was the whole scandalous illegal thing...
And they did wind up using it (PoDG manuscript) as one of the nails in the coffin for his case.
But yes. Stupid snobbish Victorians... or whatnot. XD
