Didn't Carolyn Parkhurst write The Dogs of Babel? I hated that book. I couldn't even finish it, I was so disturbed by it.
But I'm digressing here.
HP. I was late on the bandwagon as well, having not read the books until after I saw the first movie. And the only reason I even went to see the movie in the first place was for the Star Wars trailer. I kid you not. I wasn't going to stay for the movie, but decided I would, since I didn't pay for it (my friend got me in for free) and was just mesmerized. I went out the next day and bought the first four books at Walmart, and plowed through them in 3 days. Thus began my obsession, which was REALLY bad for a couple of years. I burned out on it though, and now I'm rather indifferent, especially having hated the movie version of Goblet of Fire (which is my favourite book of the series) and having yet to see Order Of The Phoenix. I do really want to read the final book, but since I didn't pre-order it and I refuse to line up for it tonight at midnight (and I work tomorrow), I'm just going to wait a bit.
Of course, this means that I'm going to end up finding out what happens, but I don't really care. :)
Also. Hairspray? Can someone please tell me why this movie even got re-made in the first place? I don't understand it. I haven't seen the original since it came out, but I really enjoyed it and I'm probably going to download a torrent of it this weekend if I can find one so that I can watch it again. I'm not really interested in seeing the new one, though. Especially since there are so many other movies I need to see first (Spiderman 3, Transformers, OOTP).
Heh. I'm rambling. Sorry about that, I'll just post this now.
