Right, so the book I was reading, "Possession", has been made into a movie that is opening at the end of this month. And I've made an executive decision to not finish the book in light of the fact that I want to watch the movie. Yes, that's right. Movie wins over book this time. But on the plus side, it's freed me up to read something that I can zip through faster.

Oh, and all day today I had to listen to my boss make little comments about his theory that I stayed home yesterday because I was hung over. Now... I've never really been that hung over. I don't really drink that much normally, and I hadn't done it the other night certainly. But does he believe me? No. Like I really need this. I'm so glad he's left for the day now. Everyone do the happy dance!

I could never finish that damn book, anyway. I tried and tried, because I kept hearing it was such a great book (I don't think those people read it, either, they were just afraid to admit it) but it was such a ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I have a higher tolerance for snoozy movies, though. So I'll go, because it has Gwyneth in it, and I like her.

Dude! I am so glad I'm not the only one. I mean, I keep hearing what a fabulous book it is, and while I do find parts of it interesting, the pacing is... just not as quick as I'd like. And that annoys me. It's not like I'm unable to follow it, it's that I kept staring out the window at the NJ Turnpike rather than read it. And *that* is a sad, sad state of affairs.

But yeah, I figured the movie has good people, and I so would rather watch a slow movie than read a slow book. Unless that slow book has lots of hot sex in places, which would make the pacing seem better. ;)
