Friday has come at last. This means one week is down and I have one left to go before I can relax in the comfort of my own home. Things are getting more tense and found words between me and the roommate. I just feel so detached from things at the moment and that gets scary sometimes. I can’t help when it comes on…it just does. So, I place a front, try not to bite people’s heads off, and pretend that I want to be around others. But, what I really want to do, is crawl away from everyone and not be bothered with any of them at all. But, for the sake of my friends, I have been trying to overcome that a bit. Also had to divert disaster for a couple friends as well, so that took up part of my night.
My mom ingrained this really disturbing habit of buying the book adaptation of a movie and reading it, usually before the movie has come out. I did that recently with V for VENDETTA, managing to finish it in two days. It actually isn’t a bad novel…will be interesting to see how the movie turns out. Basics: it takes place about fifty years in the future, perhaps longer, in Britain. America has fallen from being a world power, now suffering from a Civil War because they over extended themselves and lost to China. The Middle East has been plowed under. Britain is the new super power, but they suffer from “terrorist attacks” in the form of biological weapons. Their government is a new “Nazi” regime of sorts. Dissidents, nonbelievers, non-Christians, non-white Britains, and more are gathered into camps where tests are run on them like they are animals. Fingermen run the streets after curfew, brutally attacking anyone they come across. And only one man has had the courage to stand up to them, fighting from the darkness while running around in a Guy Fawkes mask. He rescues a girl and frees her from her own fear, allowing her to stand up for herself now. I won’t say how the story ends….just watch the movie, or read the book, for yourself.
Have a great weekend! I will see you back here on Monday.
