Firstly, I've gotten back into reading a bit more often, and remembered why I stopped doing it quite so often to begin with, namely, it takes up so much of my time, not because I read slowly, but because I don't stop reading once I start. Of course, since one of the books I'm reading is a self help book for ADD, maybe it'll help me out with that. Heck, maybe it'll inspire me to go do a bit post about how ADD has affected my life and whatnot, and see if that helps me with my head.
My plan to get an apartment has hit a snag, namely a security deposit that I was neglected to be told about. Unfortunately, I'm just able to make the first and last months rent, so I'm going to have to borrow the security deposit. This doesn't put me in the best mood, as it feels like an inauspicious beginning to this venture. Still, I've got to put my best foot forward, and hope things work out.
On a completely different note, I'm interested in two previews that I caught before the latest Harry Potter. One, for Sherlock Holmes, intrigued me mainly because it looks to be a completely different interpretation of Holmes than I'm used to seeing. Of course, they could have simply stitched together all the action parts of the movie to make the trailer, but even then there'd be more action in the trailer than any of the Holmes films I've seen. Considering this is the same character who was involved in a wrestling match with a sixty year old criminal mastermind next to a waterfall, I'm surprised it took this long to get around to making it properly action-y. So, I'm interested in that one because it looks exciting, and even if the acting and writing is horrible, can't be much worse than the average action movie. The other one was for Where The Wild Things Are, which, seeing as it was an integral part of my childhood, should either be awesome to watch or awful, depending on the interpretation. Regardless, it looks to be at least beautifully rendered, with the monsters looking exactly like they should, at least to my eyes. So, those are the two movies that interest me, since nothing much else has caught my eye.
