Marking one off
Category: Obsessions, Ramblings
Among the list of things I had wanted to complete when I had the free time I’ve only pursued a few. I remember the anticipation and excitement when time was scarce and my exam was near for the things that I would be able to do once I had taken it. It sure is a strange affliction we have to want to do things when we don’t have the time that make it seem more appealing than it does in reality.
And strangely enough, the days are slipping away way too quickly for my liking. I’m finding it harder to stay updated with the web world, much less anything else.
I’m glad that I finished marathoning (as Tammy would say) Hana Kimi. I find the Japanese version far much more enjoyable than the Taiwanese - although I’m partial to both for different reasons. I liked the J-drama’s diversion from the actual manga immensely and loved it’s ending far more than the other. The comedy definitely appeals.
And I finally got around to reading Harry Potter months after it’s purchase. Having been nearly spoiled a few times, I wasn’t so keen to start but when I did, I hated having to put it down. It was an interesting unraveling throughout, although I wasn’t so pleased with the way it was ended - especially the last chapter and mostly because of the names. It’s still hard to believe that it’s the end.
There are the movies… but I’ve never been fond of them from the start. J.K. Rowling really did amazing job with the books but the movies don’t really cut it. The only one I’ve ever appreciated was the third - and that too, for it’s graphics.
And that’s one book less to read on my list of things to complete before my schedule makes it impossible again.
Haha, well at least you use them well enough… I forget about them altogether o_o
They’re great for re-reading afterwards too, or just parts. And you did marathon them crazy. But that’s relatively okay I guess, considering it would take a few hours or a day to complete a book… and you need time digesting it all.
