Woot!
I am officially in the GOING TO MEXICO IN JANUARY class! \o/ (I will gladly buy trinkets for / send postcards to people while there!)
For now, though, I am bored and miserably hot. My mother's run off again, and my wrist hurts but it's way too warm to wear the support for it. Some days I desperately wish we had air conditioning. If it were not so gross out, I'd probably do something. Instead, I am typing on LJ and being boooored. The only thing keeping me from ruining my brain on more Supernatural is the knowledge that if I blast through season 3, then I'll have nothing but schoolwork to entertain me until who-knows-when. (Actually, if I continue at my pace of one episode a day, I'll finish on the day before season 4 starts, but whether or not I'll be watching it as it airs... well... that depends entirely on how many shows my father is recording this time around.)
Oh, hey, right, so, I finally got around to seeing TheDRK Dark Knight.
I didn't think it was a bad movie. My father hated it, but part of that was because it was too loud. (I was dragged off to see Mamma Mia! a bit ago, and The Dark Knight was showing a few rooms over - and across the hall - and we could still hear/feel it.)
I fully agree with everyone on Batman's voice being too over the top (couldn't stop giggling at it. Every time he spoke! How does anyone take him seriously ignoring for the moment that he runs around dressed like a bat?! GRRARRAR I'M BATMAN ARR GRRR), and I can kind of see why my brother didn't know Batman and Bruce Wayne were played by the same actor.
I quite liked the portrayal of Bruce, actually.
However.
The Joker. I just. Okay, yes, Ledger did a brilliant job, there. He was, indeed, ridiculously terrifying, and I was wholly convinced of his COMPLETE LUNACY. But beyond that.... I didn't find him very interesting.
Okay.
So... he's crazy.
....and?
That was... really about it. Why is he crazy? We don't know, he just is. And that's it. And it just... didn't do anything for me. If they'd given us just a little bit more on him, I'd probably have been all over it the way everyone else is, but... no such luck. JECCA MISSES THE BOAT AGAIN. (Thank god, because maybe it's been rigged to explode, hey?)
Also, he was so hard to watch/hear talk, because of that weird... lip-tongue-noise thing he kept making. I dunno, for some reason it really grossed me out.
Maybe it's just because I've never really been that huge of a Batman fan, though. (Hey, I'd take crazy over the slapstick route any day.)
I did think Harvey Dent was fascinating. Why is he going nuts with the murdering? Well, they show us! We get to see him go loopy. (Admittedly, some of it? Pretty lame. OH NOES MY LOVE INTEREST BLEW UP. I AM GOING TO KILL PEOPLE WITH MY ANGSTING DOOM NOW. ... YYyeah, you do that, sir.)
And I wasn't always entirely clear on what was going on, or why they were doing what they were, or how some thing happened, but that may be my useless memory striking again. So I'll overlook it, 'cause maybe it made perfect sense and it was just my brain flaking out on me again.
Anyway, that's about all I have to say about that.
And, you know, regardless of me finding it not as excellent as advertised, I an oddly attracted to superhero movies. They're so ridiculous.
Also: FFXI version update is MONDAY. WHY NOT TODAY? I am so excited for it! Though Monday is a bit annoying in that I'll be at classes all afternoon. Jazz dancing and then dissection of sheep eyeballs, and if that isn't a startling and abrupt change of tone then I don't really know what is.
Anyway, mostly this means I can't update until 10 at night and it might take a while. Hopefully it'll finish before midnight so I can go to bed on time. COUNTING CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCH? CHECK.

Actually, speaking of, have you seen 'Bad Day at Black Rock' yet? Because, yes, it's slapstick, and slapstick usually doesn't amuse me at all, but somehow it manages to be one of my favourite episodes of anything ever. I think it's Sam's expressions that do it.
