I'm pretty sure I hated it. The writers need to be taken out back and slapped silly.

And apparently the only time Daniel can "act" is when he's being a jackass.

That movie should be renamed, "Ron Weasley and everyone else who doesn't matter as much". Rupert stole/saved the show.


I think the most unforgivable thing: it wasn't that Harry didn't do anything-- it was that he couldn't do anything. Please tell me one good reason Dumbledore didn't freeze Harry before he was disarmed? What is Harry going to say in DH p.1?

"Snape killed Dumbeldore!"
"Well, what did you do about it, Harry?"
"I, uh, took cover and watched him do it."
"Weren't you armed, Harry?"
"Er-yes. But, you see, I trusted Snape because he pressed his finger against his lips with his wand pointing at my head."
"But weren't you supposed to be spending the entire movie ranting about not trusting Snape (and/or Draco)? And how, by that point, you should have been restraining yourself from killing Snape yourself because he was the reason your parents are dead?"
"Why, yes. I should have. But I didn't. So.. SNAPE KILLED DUMBLEDORE! WHY?!"

First, because The Namesake is such a beautiful film. I can see no flaws. It hurt to breath because I was trying not to weep. It was all beautiful and made me wish I had a rich culture in my family. Or that I was Indian. Either or. Brilliant story, lovely shots.

Second, because xjustadoreher , my little, is simply amazing. And I'm super happy for her : ) : ) The greatest Nerdfighter I know of.

SO. I am a Guitar Hero on Easy Mode, can't beat the last set on Medium and can't figure out the technique for the orange button for Hard... So, I'm a little stuck. My favorite character to play is Slash, because the pattern on the guitar is sikk. Ravens wearing top hats are pretty tough if you ask me. But, if I play all night, until like 4:30 AM, let's say... my brain feels like it's contracting and it's no good. Such a fun game, though. My cousins have World Tour-which is basically just Rock Band- Guitar Hero style. Except... well, I don't know if Rock Band does.. but, World Tour has songs in different languages-so you end up singing nonsense to the supposed tune of the song. If you can hear the song. The way people play those drums... you'd be lucky to hear anything else. Still-good times all around.

All around good movie. Although the plot can get fairly serious (such as domestic violence), it's shot with a tongue in cheek. Keri Russell delivered an unexpected performance, in my mind, but in a good way. Her accent is believable, and I was touched by her horrible home situation. Andy Griffith was my favorite character, by far, though. He played Russell's boss and was supposed to be the typical grouchy old man who went on endlessly about things no one cared about, but he revealed himself to be a more diverse character than that. I didn't entirely ever understand Fillion's character, and I wish to know why he participated in an affair, but we never get to hear his reasons. Overall, it's worth seeing for a feel-good time.

I tried to get though The Good Shepard, but I didn't really get drawn in, despite the all star cast (Matt Damon, Robert De Niro, Alec Baldwin, Angelina Jolie, etc).

I know I said I wanted to read new books this year, and I will, but I'm going to go through the His Dark Materials triliogy before I pass the books onto my Big for awhile.

I need to find a late-at-night friend. I don't know why I've never had one before. I'm up late.. always... I need someone to talk to/hang out with.

What's the point of sleeping during the day if there's nothing to do at night?


Also, I made a blog. I dunno about it though, I'm used to LiveJournal.


I can't wait for New Year's. I had a prophecy that it would be lots of fun.

Did I mention that I'm starting to become a seer? I had a dream that my neighbor had another child (a girl), and less than a month later, she's pregnant (with a boy, close enough).

So, guess what?

I am seriously considering pledging to a sorority! Yup! Me. A sister.
Really, I don't think it's all that much of a stretch.
More specifically,

Heh.

I did go out with other sororities, but I wasn't really interested in them. After the first couple of times, I started thinking, "Hm.. well, maybe.." That week on campus we had an activities fair and they had tables set up for Greek Life. The girls I tried to talk to were.. let's just say uninterested in me. So, I was really put off by the whole idea until I went out with my friend Amy's sorority. And honestly-I loved the girls instantly. I even learned most of their names-which is a nice change from referring to "the girl with the.. um.. pink shirt?"

Anyway, I'm about 99.9% sure that I really want to do this.

In the meanwhile..

I picked up the latest issue of the Montclairion (which I quit, btw) and they trashed on Rilo Kiley's new album. Ef them. As I said, when I first picked up the CD-the sound wasn't what I expected. I admit that. However, it is all together a tribute to 80s music, but they, by far, approved on that. So what if the CD was inspired by specific sounds? I would walk into their office and scream at them if they said a word against MIKA for committing the same 'crime'.

In other news.. I should have done this earlier..

For any of those who know me well enough to know how much I love Shakespeare.. you'd be shocked to know this...

I think that Tristan + Isolde > Romeo + Juliet.
Not only does it have the Romeo and Juliet storyline, but it also has elements of my second favorite love story- Robin Hood.
And that's truth.
Aside from all that... I'm still sick.
And I have to work this weekend.
Gross.
