Insomnia and Two Towers.

Still not sleeping well – this is starting to get really old fast. I had better luck on the sofa than in bed though, as it’s easier for me to prop myself up to relieve some of the distension.

Thirty-six hours until I get tapped. Not that I’m counting the minutes or anything.

Saw Two Towers for the second time tonight. The Socialist was sure I’d like it more the second time. I’m still unhappy with what I regard as unecessary departures from the book. I’m not a purist; I knew they would have to change the novels to bring them to the big screen. But I’m not sure of the purpose of several of the changes that were made to the plot. I felt that rather than adding explanation and dimension to the plot and characters, it rather dimished certain aspects of Tolkien. Guess I’ll just have to cogitate on it some.

I’ll certainly have plenty of time to think it over. This promises to be another sleepless night.
