It's the Little Things that Just Ruin a Day
There are people who seem incapable of confronting someone directly when they have a problem with the other person. This has happened to me enough that I think it's a widespread epidemic. If you have a problem with something I do, don't complain to someone above me, tell me. Tell me what I do that bugs you so I can fix it. I'm more than willing to hear you out just talk to me about it first. I can't stand it when someone goes around me to complain about me. Common decency says to tell the person in question directly. Seriously. I can't change if I don't know I should consider doing so. And what am I supposed to do when confronted by a person in authority later? What happens when it's maybe a character or behavior quirk or just a misunderstanding? Do I explain myself away or do I cast shadows on you as well? I don't want to be petty and do the latter, even if there are genuine issues there but again, I would talk to the person about them first. And what do I do if I hear about it from a third party that you complained about me? I can't really confront you because that would involve my source which is wrong. People are annoying, I guess that's the end result of this little rant. Just needed to be ranted. Stepping off the soap box now.

Movies of Late
So over Christmas and since then I had the opportunity to see a few movies.
National Treasure 2: good, not as unique as the first of course but still good
Charlie Wilson's War: good for a war movie which I'm not usually into
Enchanted: cute, Disney sort of making fun of itself while gaining a princess who fights for herself
Sweeney Todd: good, plenty of blood though it strangely made me miss pies in London...
Cloverfield: interesting, a little jerky but that was the point, cool looking monster
Finally, 27 Dresses: cute, a nice chick flick in which James Marsden finally gets the girl. Evidence: X-Men-Wolverine sorta stole Jean Grey away and she did sort of kill Cyclops...; Enchanted-he ends up with Idina Menzel, who is fine but not the main character; but this time the main character turns down a guy she's been mooning over forever for him, which totally works in this situation, I think. So my sister's long standing affection for James Marsden has been vindicated, he finally won at the male lead thing.
