Have just seen The Hunger Games movie with [livejournal.com profile] sarea_okelani and her cousin. (Well, I say just, but it was really about four hours ago, because we went for delicious stinky tofu hotpot after, even though the place was crammed with whippersnappers out on a school night.)

Without spoiling anything for the nonce, I'll just say that I really enjoyed it and would like to see it again (preferably without the seventeen or so previews they insisted on showing beforehand; seriously, it was like, "Here's every single movie coming out next year! We swear they're good!"). Also, needs moar Peeta. But I think I would have said that regardless of whatever screen time he got, because Peeta is the best.

Amazon delivered Catching Fire and Mockingjay (and some textbooks for next quarter, but those are so not important) yesterday, so of course I spent all of yesterday reading them both. I don't think I've read anything that intently since Deathly Hallows came out. Yay books!

As with practically everything else, I've gotten on board with The Hunger Games about three years after everyone else discovered that it's amazing. [personal profile] accordingtomel gave me a copy of it a little while ago, but I've only just had the time to read it now since it's spring break (SPRING BREAK! WHOOO!), and as soon as I finished it, I had to hop on to Amazon to buy the rest of the series.

(PS. Why aren't the paperbacks out yet? It's been two years since Catching Fire was published. WTH?)

Am going to see a pre-screening of the movie this week with [profile] sarea_okelani, which is super exciting, especially now that I've actually read the book, lol.

Fic is hard to find, though. Well, I mean, good fic. And also fic that isn't spoilery for the latter two books.

In other news, I'm in the midst of an extended showdown with some kind of stomach bug. It's not bad enough to render me non-functional, but it's also very diligent about making sure I know it's still hanging around. Vastly irritating. But you know what this means? Next time I play Pandemic, I get to go first! Whooo.
