connect the dots




I. am. so. sore.
I literally feel like someone beat me up last night, and I'm feeling the effects of it right now. full force.
my gait is funky, and my arms can barely raise themselves.
tb practice rocked me today.

but anyway,

so can someone explain to me this exploding trend of making books into movies? almost every movie that's coming out these days is "adapted by [said book]" or "based on [said book]" and frankly, it's a little annoying. the reason: they suck [by they, I mean the movies]. granted, it should be flattering to the authors, because film producers/directors are intrigued by the story of which they have decided to make a movie. however, I find it hard to believe that authors would be one hundred percent pleased with how the movie turns out. something is always left out. the ending is more "Hollywood-appropriate." and the list goes on. and now I hear horrible things about Never Let Me Go [the movie rendition] and it makes me sad, because the book is so beautiful.

on another note, the social network was an amazing movie. very well done. thought-provoking. new man crush: Andrew Garfield. so very cute.

I need more wisdom to deal with the situations I am currently faced with.
