at least Cold Mountain isn't a musical

as i write this, my roommate is watching Cold Mountain and there is no where i can escape from it.

it's not that i dislike Cold Mountain. it's a decent movie as far as movies go. what i don't like is having to listen to it as i try to get work done (i don't dare sit in front of the tv or nothing would get done - i sit to the side). especially during the battle scenes where everyone is groaning and dying and blowing up and shooting. and the background music is a super intense drone. and nicole kidman and jude law are speaking in southern accents...ehhhh.

actually, what's worse than having to listen to Cold Mountian as i try to work is listening to Mama Mia! in German (because my roommate is a German gal).

oh, life. sometimes you're just flipping annoying.
