there's a breeze, and it smells like hawaii.

This morning, I woke up at 10:00, brushed my teeth, and came downstairs at an undefined time. And then, I decided to finally watch the DVD I rented from Netflix of To Kill a Mockingbird.

I was afraid it would be like Flowers for Algernon, but it wasn't. They did a very good job of adapting the book. The characters and the setting were pretty much exactly like how I imagined them. Plus, Scout was incredibly cute. And her haircut was perfect. For her character, I mean.

And another thing, I love how they made the movie in the same tone as the book. The novel by Harper Lee was written through the eyes of a child, as in the inability to realize that there's evil in the world. It was comforting and trusting, and those same feelings were included in the movie. Which is pretty amazing.

I also watched Bringing Up Baby. It was about a paleontologist professor getting caught up in various predicaments involving an outlandish heiress and her pet leopard, Baby. It was hilarious and wonderfully complicated. Katherine Hepburn is a great actress. Although, not as good as Audrey Hepburn. Well, maybe so. It's a very close match. Well, since Katherine came first, maybe she gets it. But, they're both great actresses in different ways. Katherine can play anything, and Audrey is sophisticated and has great facial expressions. Plus, did I mention that Audrey Hepburn is my favorite actress? Haha, you should've guessed that for yourself, with 2/3 of my favorite movies starring her.

(Oh, and I changed the template. I was looking for a way to make my link colors darker and found all these different backgrounds. I've decided to try all the different kinds to see which one I shall keep permanently. Yes, it's kind of like a screening. Or not. Don't take my word for it, I'm not that smart. I don't know vocabulary very well. Anyway, I picked this one to go first because I liked it a lot. It's very "Me", you know? You don't? Um, it's because I like to read. And books. I like books. I think they're pretty.

Wow, this was a very long "side note". Why did I put it in parentheses?)
