Woke up extremely stressed and tense, feeling very 'crowded' if that makes sense. Am drifting into cranky, emotional, snappish, and prone to losing my temper at nothing. Am really wanting to take some time off today, but it won't be much--have a lunch thing and then a meeting at 2.

Anj discovered Howl's Moving Castle has been in town at the AMC theaters for who knows how long now. Will be seeing it Saturday.

Onyxia raid Friday, MC Sunday afternoon. Note to self to do laundry/bills stuff Saturday am. I wonder when that FedEx Ground pkg is going to get here.

Major bruise from one of yesterday's allergy shots--damned Bebop kept trying to nuzzle that arm while I was at the computer. Still aching much now. Speaking of Bebop, idiot thing wouldn't stop meowing this morning. Thought I was going to tear my hair out.

Coulda used some Starbuck's this morning. But trying to only indulge in that every couple weeks, so didn't allow myself. Fecking tired, could have used that.

So. "Willy Wonka" Hostess cupcake, is one where the icing and filling are violently purple, with a bit of orange icing for decoration. Why did I buy this again? Ohyeah, 'cause I'm a dork.

At least the sprinkler system installers here at work won't be painting pipes or drilling huge masses of cement/plaster dust into my work area today. That will be so lovely.


[Edit: And just finally comprehending the UK news. Fucking hell. As if I weren't already ready to hate humanity anyway... Just about makes a person want to cry. (Just about? Ha. So fucking emotional as it was...)]

But Roahld Dahl isn't making up the backstory, that's the problem. It's Tim Burton going 'eh this sounds good.' and putting it in there.

If this were in the book originally that'd be fine; hell if Dahl had said 'this seems like something I wished I had added' that'd be great too. But just making shit up to explain things that weren't explained by the original creator is, like I said, basically Tim Burton writing Willy Wonka fanfiction and putting it in his movie.

I admit, it's not right. The original creator should have written it. But regardless, is it a bad thing to want to see it? Yeah, it is just Tim Burton's fanfiction, but how many people have wanted to see their fanfiction brought to life? Tim is doing just that. If you don't like it, you can ignore that part of the movie, but if you do, it's just adding to your enjoyment. I'd prefer that Tim add onto the story than if he were to change it like other classics. Afterall.. adding vanilla to pepsi, you still have a tasty soft drink. Changing Pepsi's recipe completely.. well.. god knows what you get then.
