Harry Potter / Frustration

It wasn't a fantastic film. The actors are much better in this film than the previous two, and the directing was far superior. Basically its the best of the three so far, but the book is much better. I'll probably download a copy of the film but I wouldn't buy it and I wouldn't go and see it again.

I'm going through one of my mood swing stages. One hour I'm feeling great, things are going well, but all it takes is a few minutes and I'm in a crap mood and really demotivated and apathetic again.

For example, at the moment, as you can tell from my summary of Prisoner of Azkaban, I can't be arsed with much. I'm tired, stressed and disapointed about this mornings exam.

But just earlier, I was having a great time. I've won a round of pitch and putt down by the river next to last years halls. I've had a couple of games of pool, and I've been into town. I bought a set of juggling balls on impulse from Mac and others influence.

Two more days, yet I can't be bothered. This academic work is far more than non-students appreciate. I'm totally burnt out and I'm going to need all three months to recouperate before even attempting the final year of my course. Christ, and I have to work most of the summer, too.

You bought juggling balls! Woooo! Put them by your keyboard and you'll be juggling in no time, trust me :) Apparently the first years call me, Sina, and Luke Juggler 1, 2, and 3. Heh...

Oh yes, and HCI is/was toss, and I'm sick of all this too. I can't wait for Friday...

The film did a fine job of getting the main storeline in, along with some nice visual effects. It's over 2 hours long already yet manages to keep the events flowing. I think adding in more from the book would make the film drag and take away what makes the books special.

Doden, I have to agree. The flow of the film is rather impressive. It most certainly didn't seem like I was sat there for that long. The subset of the book they used for the film, was indeed appropriate and well selected.

To the others, yes... 1 more day. 25 hours time from this post and I'll be writing the last bits of my final question. 26 hours time, pint in hand.
