Social Anxiety

So, I've been thinking about a couple things which might be related. I've been thinking about a lot of things, mind you, but I'm only going to be talking about these. 'Rambling' may be the better word, but...

Like I said, rambling. So I'll stop now. Maybe make some tea. Maybe start Harry Potter 5 -- I finished 4 last night, and I have to say I'm really getting attached to the characters. A few thousand pages, a few years of history, will do that I guess, but... Formulaic as she seems, I really like how Rowling tells her stories. And I really want to see how this plays out. I keep hoping, and she keeps disappointing me, that Slytherine won't be All That Is Evil; that, maybe, the Slytherine students will turn out to be Ok in the end, maybe even likable. So far not, and if you know otherwise from the next two books, you aren't allowed to tell me.

Frankly, I was hoping Malfoy would fall for Ginny, but now I'm getting way too geeky.

Quick Movie Reviews

I, Robot -- Thumbs Up. I liked it both for itself and for the concepts it discussed. Good Movie.
AI - Artificial Intelligence -- Thumbs Down. I liked what it was talking about, but I think it pulled most of it off really poorly. it tried to do three things when I think it would have been better to just stay with two. And the movie would have been so much better if they left of where they should have; so very much more sad, but so much better.
