I should be writing

[guanin]

Instead, what am I doing? Looking at David Anders pictures. Because he's too damn gorgeous and I can't look away.

I've also just finished watching Tinman. It's wonderful! The sets and the costumes and the stroytelling and just everything is magnificent. It's a brilliant retelling of the Oz universe, which I loved as a child. I always wanted to read the whole series, but the bookstores only had very few, if any at all, so I only read five or six. I highly recommend it (the movie, but the books are great, too).

There's a moth outside my window. It keeps fluttering about the screen, unsatified with its perch, still only for a few moments before it shivers away again.

But David Anders is SHINY! And therefor hard to look away from.

Aaaaah, I've been meaning to watch Tinman. Thank you for reminding me; I'm glad to hear that its good.

I like moths. My sister is terrified of them, though.

That he is. I'm actually making yet another icon of him right now even though I'm up to the limit. But it's fun to make icons of him.

I want to watch Tinman again now, but I already returned the DVD. I love how they reinvented the characters. While they changed many things of the world, they maintained the essential essence, so that the characters are recognizable and yet not. You really should watch it.

I like moths, too. They often fly around the windows at night here.

I think that's just adorable, and rather endearing.

Tinman? I have never heard of this, and am therefore slightly perplexed. Oz retelling? Oh?

It's a three part miniseries by the Sci-Fi channel, which I don't have, so I was able to see it now. It bases itself on the original The Wizard of Oz book, using the basic concepts and themes while imagining something completely different. The story follows some of the same structure. Dorothy is now DG, a girl around twenty years old, who gets sucked into a torando and ends up in the O.Z., the Outer Zone. She meets up with characters who correspond to the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Cowardly Lion, who share their essential characteristics and yet at the same time are very different. DG has to battle the Wicked Witch, Askedilia, who is magnificently evil and has taken over the O.Z. The Flying Monkeys are now the Mobats, part monkey, part bat, that look so wicked cool. Everything in it is just wonderful. You should watch it if you get the chance. I've seen it loaded online if it's not out on DVD over there.
