rivendellroseBlessedly, after talking to Mom last night I determined that it'll be ok if I wait to return the dratted shoes until Saturday. Thank heaven. I really didn't want to go through the trouble of hauling my butt all the way to Northgate tonight after work.
In other news, I am finding new and unique ways to oversleep, which very much NOT helped by the recent streak of fire alarms here in the dorm. We've had something like three in the last two weeks... which brings the total for this quarter, I belive, up to five. I could be a bit off on that count... but it's close enough, damn it. I really hate being woken up by the blasted things, especially on nights when I have to get up early.
Also, I am pissed off because I have work at 7am tomorrow morning. Wah. Thursday is normally a "sleep-in" day for me (read: I only have to get up at 7:30 instead of 6:30). Argh.
I'm so damned tired. Need to go to bed early tonight.

I don't feel it's uplifting to watch a man get tortured to death, even if he is the son of god and is going to come back and give redemption. I just don't feel it, and I never have. So it's probably pointless for me to go on about all of this.
It's also probably a huge matter of how I've had all this painted for me already - I've heard so many interpretations of these scenes that were bad that now I have them in my mind. You mention the scenes of happier times in his life, and I remember the reviewer commenting bitterly about how they showed Christ as a child being hugged by Mary.... as she watched him get spikes nailed through his hands. From the way it was painted to me by the reviewer, I got a *very* bad image of the effect in my mind, and maybe that wasn't accurate. I don't know.
And it doesn't make a huge difference, I suppose, since I really don't want to see the movie anyway. I guess I'm just in a debate-y mood tonight.
