"Horrible." Yes.
Jul. 20th, 2008 11:34 pmAlas, Whedon, you and I continue not to see eye-to-eye on...well, much of anything, really, it seems.
I swear, I tried to like Dr. Horrible and his Sing-Along Blog, but I could only make it through about seven minutes of Act I (or whenever it is that the singing starts) before I gave up with a shrug and a "meh." I feel that I should have had about two belly laughs before that point, judging from everyone else's reactions, but it's like Whedon speaks a totally different language from me. (Except Firefly. I enjoyed that somewhat.)
But anyway. I'm glad the rest of you seem to like it. I, meanwhile, am focusing my attentions on XF2! Which I probably won't get to see for a while, because I dislike seeing movies on their opening weekend, and I'll be moving next weekend, but at some point after I get settled in Knoxville, yes.
I went to the Nashville McKay's today. Woot! It's not as big as Knoxville's*, but many of the books seemed cheaper. Perhaps that was because they didn't have a bargain shelf set aside, but rather mixed them in with the rest of the selection, and I kept stumbling upon them. (I bought a book for twenty cents. You cannot beat this.** My five-book purchase came to $4.80.) They also gave me a bunch of money in store credit from the books we brought in, so this semester will not kill me with the books, I hope.
Ellen, I have been converted. I'm aghast that I didn't know this place existed in my town until just this year.
* And it definitely caters to the high school rather than college crowd, if the twenty copies of The Crucible, fifteen of The Scarlet Letter, and thirty-odd of The Great Gatsby are any evidence. Hey, look, it's a good chunk of my junior year!
** Except in the free bins outside, anyway. But they didn't have this one.
