The winter holidays started about.. erm, 3 to 5 days ago I think.  I couldn't get to Tracy's Christmas party because my mum wouldn't let me as a punishment for horrible grades and attendance.  Who's fault?  The VPs.  He just had to give me a 3-day long punishment of garbage duty during my whole lunches because he found out that I skipped art.  Who wouldn't?  There was a bloody supply teacher.  So it was actually a good thing that I didn't get to go because it was a sleepover party.  And the night that I was supposed to be there, I had a stomach ache (I have a hunch that it was due to too many shortbread cookies...) and I threw up.. I hadn't done that in about 8 years.  Weird.  So yeah that's how cruel it's going for me.  Boxing week sales started yesterday.  I couldn't go, because mum's afraid that I'll get kidnapped by mobsters.  As if.  I want a new cloak so badly.  Would they sell those in normal stores anyway?  You never know.

And I saw Eragon on the first day that it came out.  My opinion on it?  The worst book adaptation I have ever seen.  The book was so good.. why ruin it like that?  Ugh.  Katrina, Solembum and Jeod were all missing!  We need those characters to actually make Eldest work.  Plus, Brom had the lamest death ever.. who jumps in front of a dagger?  It made him look like such an idiot!  Arya wasn't supposed to be conscious either.  She was the lamest Elf who didn't even have pointy ears.  Is it that hard to do prosthetics?  Even I could have done it for them!  What's with the Gedwey Ignasia's scars on their palms were so not silver. Speaking of scars, they didn't show the huge scar that was supposed to be on Eragon's back in the end.. that was supposed to be a huge part.  Durza.. what to say.. at the beginning of the movie, he was a replica of Grima Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings.  At the end half of the movie, he turned into the Mouth of Sauron.. also from Lord of the Rings.  When he was marshaling his little Urgal army to the Varden, it was like a déjà vu... of Saruman rallying his Uruk army to destroy Helm's Deep in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.  Is that a coincidence or what?  Saphira looked exactly like a Hippogriff with her lovely feathered wings that she wasn't even supposed to have.  Her egg looked like a bloody oversized medicine pill.  Galbatorix looked so gentle.. was he supposed to be intimidating?  My grandma looks more capable of murder than he is!  The Ra'zac were very silly.. they looked like Imhotep from The Mummy; the movie that made me laugh my ass off.  Why did they have to make Eragon such a horrible movie?  Most little kids watch the movies first!  It's all ruined for them... -_-;;  The music was good though, mind you.. very pretty bagpipes.
