saturday saturday

At my dad's. Some neighbour's dog is barking like flipping crazy. Shut up.
I couldn't find Inkheart online to watch so I watched Slumdog Millionaire, which was really super good.
Me and my friends have been bitching about the casting of Brendan Fraser as Mo in Inkheart. BF just doesn't look we'd pictured Mo in the book. I was on IMDB.com and one of the trivia things was something like, Brendan Fraser was Cornelia Funke's personal choice for the role of Silvertongue, as he was her inspiration for the character. She even dedicated the second novel of the trilogy to him and sent him a signed copy. The producers originally wanted a bigger Hollywood star but on the insistence of Funke they gave in and accepted him in the role. I was all, WHAT. UP. And I didn't believe it, until I got out Inkspell and the dedication says, "To Brendan Fraser, whose voice is the heart of this book. Thanks for the inspiration and enchantment. Mo wouldn't have stepped into my writing room without you, and this story would never have been told." WTF? I mean...I like Brendan Fraser and all? The Mummy was good and he was funny on Scrubs but Journey to Center of Earth (that's not event the right title, I care that little) sucked so terribly it was painful, I had to leave the theatre. (Luckily, it was the dollar theatre and initially, we came to see...Wall-E I think, or Mamma Mia. (which both also sucked)) Uh, anyway. I think Cornelia Funke's just got the hots for Brendan Fraser. Blake was all, you know what this means? Without Brendan Fraser there would be NO INKHEART. I was all, dear god man, you're right!
...
what else...
I am trying to crochet socks but I don't think I'm doing it right, or have the right yarn or hook or whatever. Man, I want some socks. Also I am trying to make a sweater but I keep messing up, counting things wrong and shit. Damn.
And dad's tv channels just went out. Goddamn, SNL is on tonight and Steve Fucking Martin is on. I WILL NOT MISS THIS.
