If you think windows are not important, try living without one.
Each morning I go to work before sunrise. I don't get to see much of the sun, other than sometimes a pinkish sky. Then I go in to my office and settle in for the at least 8 hour day. There are no windows nor doors that let the sunshine in near me. The only time I can maybe "escape" is if I go to the front office and sit at the lunch table with negative individuals and pretend to grade papers so I can see the light.
Throughout the day I encounter issues and drama that drain me emotionally and mentally and there's no "escape" for that. It's not like I can look out a window at "leisure". At the end of the day I go to night school, so don't even get to catch a sunset either.
Why are we so cruel to ourselves and deprive our lives of sunlight? Even inmates, people who are not good for society have the right to breath fresh air at least one hour a day.

Off to see the great w..... nevermind
Who would've thought I that I would have the same idea as a pack-full theater of suburban moms? Been planning this escapade for a while, anxiously waiting for Oz:The Great and Powerful. I arrived early for the 9:30am showing, but that did not guarantee me a good seat.
The theater was packed with moms and their kids eating popcorn for breakfast. At least the audience was well-behaved, but that was no movie for small children, not to mention babies!
The movie starts off a bit slow. James Franco is not very believable as the magician or eventually, as the "great wizard." The writers made Oz a womanizer, which is a bit awkward. He could have been flawed in other ways rather than this one.
Enjoyed Zack Braff and wish we could've seen more of him. Later on he does the voice of the monkey, Finley.
The land of Oz is beautiful! A job well-done was done with the set design and effort to stay "true" to the story.
I was not impressed by Mila Kunis as Theodora. Maybe it has to do with her persona, but she didn't convince me that she is evil and wicked.
The only casting decision I agree with is that of Michelle Williams as Glinda. She radiates goodness throughout the film.
Rachel Weisz has had better roles than this one as Evanora. She is another actress that is better off playing a heroine than a "bad guy."
The script was not consistent and I wonder if there's a sequel or remake of the original that someone in Hollywood will try to ruin.
Casting-wise, well, it should have been better. This is Disney! This is The Wizard of Oz (prequel)! Putting the set design and visual effects aside, it was like watching a high school production.
