Howl's Moving Castle

Like pretty much any book that has a movie made out of it, fans are often divided on whether the book or the movie is better --- and book fans can usually find something to complain about in the movie version. But all I can say is OMG THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD. ;_; I'm still a big fan of the book, and the book characters, and the book events, and yeah, the movie does a lot of things very differently.

( Cut for spoilers... )

So yeah, book!Howl is a great character, awesome in his shallowness, superb in his carelessness. But movie!Howl is just that much cooler.

By the way, I still don't have a copy of this movie on high quality DVD. *hint*hint*May18*hint*

I guess my "how busy are you at work?" answer in the questionaire will change now...

So today officially marks the first day that I had to stay late after school to complete all the work I had on my plate. (I'd stayed after before, but that was to meet an obligation that was later in the afternoon rather than to generate more workspace time.) I'm all grown up now?

I admit to being a little >EE at the teacher who, during the last period of the day, dumped a whole stack of journal writing assignments on my desk with the note "Please grade these by tomorrow -- oh and don't forget about the 3-1 assignments!" which I had already been working on every free moment that day...

But when I finally did finish them and took them upstairs to drop em off, she was still head-down in papers and working furiously, so I guess I got no room to complain. :)

Oh and you know what else today marks?

Cos it's the first of May, First of May, outdoor fuckin' starts today
So bring your favorite lady, or at least your favorite lay

Yeah baby.
