Detox

So, I'm done. With everything. As my dad says, I'm a free agent. I stayed at school until ten Wednesday to finish grades, but then I didn't have to go back at all. The past few days have been great; I've been winding down from the hardest semester ever.

Thursday night we got half a foot of snow, and my normally one hour drive turned into three as I made my way to the movie theater for HPIV again and TL, TW, & TW. I think this HP movie is my second favorite but close to first. I waffle between whether I like the third or fourth book better, so its an understandably tough decision. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was amazing. I loved it; I cried for a bunch of it. For me that's one of the signs of a good movie. I haven't read the book in a long, long time and have only read half of the series, so I don't even live on the same street as intense fans. But still, I think it accurately represents Lewis's vision.

Over the past few days, I've also watched Silence of the Lambs, The Thin Man, Reign of Fire, The Reckoning, and Chinatown. Yesterday I read two trashy novels and decorated the Christmas tree. Today I watched a cool documentary on the National Geographic Channel about tattoos. I baked cookies. I did laundry. I started On Beauty by Zadie Smith (whose White Teeth I adore), which is a love letter to E. M. Forster's Howards End (which I also adore).
