So the good: I saw The Golden Compass tonight. It was a gorgeous, sped-up version of the book. But the daemons were gorgeous and the tone/look was perfect. I liked Lyra more than I thought I would. Actually, I loved all the characters (Lee ROCKED even more than I expected him to). I absolutely loved Pan, though. *snuggles* Some really, really good choices. But the end... OMG! What happened to the end? Where did it go? I understand not wanting to end with a scary moment... but it's that horrible, scary moment that makes Lyra soldier on and find out what's really happening in her world. How could they end it where they did? LOL It was like, well, the build-up to a sneeze that doesn't ever come. The build-up is fantastic, yes, but without the final part, it's just a weird feeling.
But I loved the movie anyway... even though my mouth dropped open at the end. LOL There's a whole story about seeing it, and the theater and stuff, but I don't know if I want to type it all up. Suffice it to say, it was a strange, fun adventure and another good but short date.
The bad: I think I'm getting sick. Ever since about 4 today, my throat has been on fire. Once in a while it might hurt, but it only gets this bad the day before I get sick. I'm a little sore and tired (well, I haven't been sleeping much anyway) and my head hurts a little but there's no congestion or anything. I really don't want to be sick right now. I don't write well when I'm sick. And I have to go see Avenue Q tomorrow! And Christmas shop! And OMG next week is crazy busy- I can't be sick. Next week I can be sick, but not this week. Crap. Throat is killing me. Going to go take a long, hot shower and get in bed early and try to sleep as much as possible until I have to leave for the theater in DC tomorrow. Aw crap. Not good. It's sooo weird because I feel find apart from my throat... I'm more worried than sick. Crap. I hate this feeling. LOL
