Sar, Maggie and I went to see Hunger Games last night and it was by far the best adaptation from a book that I have ever seen. Casting was superb. The actress who plays Katniss was able to exhibit such a wide range of believable emotions with just her eyes. Donald Sutherland was perfect as the evil yet slightly apathetic ruler. Rue was a-dor-a-ble. The deaths were not realistic, ie. not as grusome as I pictured but it was PG-13, what do you want? The way they used the commentators to give us the information we learned from Katniss' thoughts in the book was genius and also a nice break now and then from the action, as well as showing just how creepy their society is in their love of brutality for sport. All in all very much worth seeing.
Also I loved her hair. I love braids. I want to wear all those hairstyles.
Finally bought new work shoes. Hooray!
Finally cleaned the house. Finally.
Ran 20 miles total this week and my knee finally stopped hurting. Thank God.
House hunting was a bust. So dissappointing.
Got my copy of Eat, Pray, Love in the mail yesterday and an email tonight that my electronic copy of Crossed was available to be dowloaded from the library. It's a weekend of reading. So fabulous.
