YAY YAY YAY!!!!!

We finally got the final OK from teh bank!!!! GUYS!!! We're really moving!!!! WHEEE!!!!

I'm so happy... finally!!!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!! *dance*

Yeah I know I'm bad at updating anything lately...

That's mostly because my PC is still non-operative.
Also, I got back into Neopets and that takes up time with useless clickage.

I finished "Fingersmith" and I got "Affinty" from Angel so I'm reading that now. I just love Sarah Water's writing. It's strange because in my teens I read a lot of lesbian literature and I hated it ALL. I read all the Bradleys and fought myself through all those "sad-ending" books where the girl never got the girl or they were either really man-like dykes, or really screwed up in the head... or both.

But Sarah Waters writes stories about regular, lovable characters. Pretty young women who just happen to fall in love with other pretty young women. No big issues, no having to come out and dealing with it stuff. Just a very exciting story that happens to have 2 girls in it instead of a guy and a girl. And add to that the victorian element which I love just as much. :) Just awesome! :)

I have not read the book of "Tipping the Velvet" but I've seen the BBC series. Maybe I'll get the book anyways.

We just sold our house.

Captain Proton.... or other...

So we watched the movie "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" and to be quite frank, well the movie itself sucked so much that it would leave a hickey... but, I still liked it. Mostly because of Angelina Jolie naturally, but also because I like computer graphics, old futuristic movies and I also liked the athmosphere of the movie. Thing is, people who don't like old science fiction movies, will definately not liek this one. Sky Captian and the World of Tomorrow is supposed to be cheesy and "softwashed" like those movies from the 30s and 40s. The acting was overdone and the story was just the same, quite predictable and... well just like in them old movies. So I can see how noone of you liked it since you have to be a fan of the genre to appreciate it. I read up on some of the interviews of its directors and writers, and they say that the fact that the mainstream public does not like this movie because of those nostalgic elements just proves to them that they did it well. So I don't know. Once day I want to buy the movie on DVD, when I can find it on sale somewhere =)

Also, I finished Sarah Waters' "Fingersmith" yesterday. After watching the BBC mini-series I just had to read the book, and well, I finished in 2,5 days, which for me, is a stunt! It's even worse than the movie... not bad-worse, but horrible things happen-worse... like it's so horrible how they love each other but never say it... I just wanted to scream at the book "Tell her, goddammit, tell her!!!!" oh well, at least it has a happy end, and I already knew how it was going to end. Great book! Great movie!
