itsallovernowI had the weekend mostly to myself, which was incredibly welcome. I finally got my DVD's and got to watch the commentary for The Choice, which mostly just made me sad. The Season 3 packaging is so well done.
I went to see I Capture the Castle, which I enjoyed. I loved 3/4 of the book, and then just didn't like the ending, but I found the movie's interpretation of it easier to handle, because I wasn't embarrassed for or angry with Cassandra. But I wish they'd focused more on her own struggle to write. That was the most compelling thing about the book for me. Mark Blucas was also not terrible, but I saw him in a preview for a movie where his head is shaved and he's tatooed, and he was definitely hot, which hadn't occurred to me before. I was never a fan of Riley, so finding him hot in anything is kind of a surprise.
Our cable proved itself to be worth the money this weekend. I watched two hours of Looney Toons Saturday morning because Cartoon Network started a new Duck Dodgers cartoon, which I didn't watch because I had to get ready to go, but that much Bugs Bunny in space was bound to make me happy.
I also watched Failure is Not an Option on the History Channel. It was really well done, all those earnest young engineers and this amazing technology and drive and vision. The space program is something to be proud of. The risks taken and the imagination needed to believe that we could send people into space just overwhelms me.
I have also realized that I'm afraid to work on Blue Eyes at home because if I finish it, I'm afraid I won't have anything else to write. That's just so not a productive attitude, but it feels real- cold and scary like all of my crazy making ideas. Sigh.
