exsequarI'm sorry, I'm totally spamming all your flists... but no one's online to talk to, and I seem to have a lot of thoughts tonight.
I just finished reading Brokeback Mountain, the short story, and... wow. It was beautiful. I was wondering at first how they would make a short story into a movie, but I realize that the story is very very condensed - one paragraph will describe a whole month, and such. Lots and lots of room to maneuver. But it's a gorgeous story, and I can tell you now, I'm going to SOB during this movie. Absolutely sob my eyes out. I better see it alone, heh. For anyone who wants to read it, you can find it here: Brokeback Mountain. It's definitely worth a read.
One thing I did note is that the two men in the story (Ennis and Jack) were described as rather homely (Jack has buck teeth, for example) and all I can say is that Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall are, er, anything but homely :P But that's ok with me, lol.
Well, I have to start packing my stuff. I'm leaving this house for good tomorrow, when I go over to my dad's and really pack everything, then spend Thursday night there before driving out on Friday. *neeps* I'm so scared. I also have to finish my summer reading book, blah.
