orangerfuloh this week. it has worn me down! Sorry to disappear, especially after adding a bunch of new people LOL! With the Thanksgiving prep and other stuff, I just haven't had a chance to sit at my computer and read blogs.
I did go see Mockingjay Part 2 on Sunday with Sylvia. About a third of the way through, I was like "I've read the books, I know how this goes...why did I want to see this again?". The movie was well done and it did stay very true to the story, which means it was hella depressing. Tim said it was the lowest box office of any Hunger Games. Someone online attributed this to Jennifer Lawrence's fame (that she is bigger than Katniss so people can't believe she is Katniss, which I call bullshit on), but I think that with all the recent turmoil in Paris and Syria being seen every day, the idea of watching a movie like Mockingjay really isn't appealing.
Despite my best efforts at remaining distant, Star Wars fever is kicking in:
I saw an article going around on Facebook about Lucas disowning the new franchise and I actually felt a bit relieved but if anyone doesn't get Star Wars, it's Lucas. I didn't even click through, just sorta laughed and kept scrolling.
I'm doing my best to avoid spoilers, but as we get closer they are EVERYWHERE! I'm just not going to go on tumblr now until next year, I swear.
This should be an easy year for friends and family when it comes to buying me presents because Star Wars is EVERYWHERE! I pretty much want Star Wars and Torrid LOL.
The turkey was not as thawed as I had anticipated but I went ahead and dumped salt all over it to get a dry brine going. I'm hoping by Thursday it's ready to go because...well it's gotta go!
Anyway, need to get to bed. Library is open 9-5 tomorrow for the holiday so I can't sleep in like I usually do on Wednesdays (normally I'm 1-9).
Toodle pip!
