Les Miserables

Hey all,

Today, my aunt rented "Les Miserables" from Redbox, and she put it on almost two hours ago for us to watch. I was watching it and enjoying it, but I'm sleepy so I stopped watching it. But it's very good so far. It's a little depressing, though. Not just because it's about people with depressing lives, but also cause it makes my life look sad. I feel very unproductive sometimes when I watch movies about people who fight like the dickens to get their lives into shape. It's almost like my life is too good. There's times when I feel like a Knight in Shining Armor with no Dragons to fight, and I'm thinking, what'll I do now? I need someone to chuck some Dragons at me so I can dish out some Courage and Honor at them instead of sitting here pretending to be good at blogging and watching TV.

But that's enough moping for now. I'm just a bit tired, and I'm still shell-shocked from that agriculture essay that took me all of this week to write. I've got some hot tea now, and my room is sort of clean, so life is good.

If you haven't seen Les Miserables, here's a quicky sum-up of what I've seen so far.

WARNING: contains spoilers [:


It's a musical, so I'll put it in a song:

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of the Poor in France,
It started out with Jean Valjean,
a man without finance.
(a man without finance).

Valjean was a Mighty Stealing Man,
Javert was his Mortal Foe.
Valjean was released from priiison
Much to Javert's great woe.
(much to Javert's great woe).

Valjean went home and became the mayor
of the city in which he lived,
He helped out the poor when e'er he could
And money to them gived.
(and money to them gived).

Fantine worked in a factory
and was unjustly fired.
So she became a prostitute
Which was not what she desired.
(not what she desired).

Valjean saw Fantine and rescued her
but then, alas, she died.
He then sought out her daughter Cosette
And took her by his side.
(and took her by his side).

Cosette grew up and fell in love
with a Revolutionary Dude
Who was loved by a girl named Eponine
And her love for him only grewed.
(her love for him only grewed).

That's where I left off. Talking to people feels weird now, I feel like I should be singing.

Good night!
