Random ramblings #7

Tonight I went to see The Devil Wears Prada at the movies with Mum & Sister (I figured rather than making up a fake name for her, I'd just call her Sister with a capital S). It was ok, not brilliant, but ok. The boyfriend (Adrian Grenier, left) was cute: he was what I was concentrating on lol. Simon Baker also made an appearance. Meryl Streep was excellent, as always; I love her work. Anne Hathaway was great too. But the whole story wasn't as brilliant as everyone else made it out to be ... I mean there were plenty of laughs, but overall the story lacked something. I don't even know what, but whatever it was it was missing.

On the way back in the car I was reminded that my sister has got to be the most contrary person I know. It sometimes seems we have absolutely nothing in common except our genes. Every time Mum or I make a comment about the film (or anything really) she has to rebut it; every time she makes a comment that we disagree with she jumps down our throats. If I don't like the music being played in the car then I am expected to put up with it silently; if she doesn't like it then she makes me change it or complains constantly. She treats me like a child in the way she talks to me - the tone of her voice is always full of superiority; if I point this out to her she tells me that I'm the one using a nasty tone of voice (admittedly by this point I usually am, but she doesn't realise she does it constantly). If I interrupt her she gets pissed off and tells me not to butt in; if she interrupts me I am expected to stop and let her finish. She is always asking me to get her a drink or some tablets - even when I'm lying in bed and she is in the loungeroom (next to the kitchen); when I ask her to turn a light off or close a door as she is walking past she gets shitty. I just don't know what to do about it anymore. I think I might snap soon.

I finished watching season 1 of Everwood. I'm now watching it again from the beginning with Mum & Sister. I did a google search the other night and it looks like the other three seasons won't be put on DVD, since the first season hasn't sold well enough. So I've taken the radical step to downloading them. I taped most of season two when it was on TV, but three and four will have to be downloaded. I even bought a new external hard drive to fit them on my laptop. I rationalise this move to downloading by the fact that I would buy the DVD if it was released; it's in the hands of Warner Bros now.
