I Do Believe in Fairies

I do! I do!

In related news, I am back at school after a blink-and-you-miss-it trip to Seattle that was buckets of fun. Submit an application if you would like more details. Pictures will be forthcoming.

The best news of the day: the Behemoth is vanquished. It is complete, including illustrations, bibliography, a cover sheet, and one more page than was required. Ahhh. I was just thinking a few minutes ago about how fast the semesters finish. You spend the first 2 1/2 months dragging your feet through the week, waiting for the weekend. Then, out of nowhere, the final two weeks are at your doorstep. I like school, but it's always exciting to finish a semester and cross a few classes off the list.

Now for the bad news. I have a cold. ("Oh no." "Oh yes.") Bleh.

So, just as experts like myself predicted, Alexander, did not do so "great" at the box office. Over the past five days it only gathered 21 mill. ($160 mill. to make). HAH on you, Colin Farrell, and your attempts at a legitimate acting career.

I did skim part of a review today that said Alexander was one of the best things since...ever. But then they went on to describe Gladiator as a popcorn movie. Did you hear that whooshing sound? That was his credibility going out the window.

Rumors are persisting that HP #6 will be out next June or July. A bookstore chain employee said they had been notified about a release date coming in January. *rubs hands eagerly*

Please excuse me. I must go and relieve my nose of snot.

Expecto Patronum!

Friday is here at last. As a change of pace, I did homework tonight. Yes, friends, I have begun work on the behemoth that is my Maya paper. I got three full pages done tonight--only 7 more! It's going faster than I thought it would so that's not too bad. I always get nervous about having enough to say...that usually turns out to be a groundless fear though.

I have been listening to the POA soundtrack for many hours since Wednesday. I now proclaim, with the full authority that is Me, that it is the best full soundtrack that John Williams has ever done. Why is this? Basically because it's interesting, even when it's separated from the movie. He does good themes, but, come on, his "filler music" is kind of boring to listen to on its own. These are my current John Williams-related thoughts.

In a related story, much Harry Potter news today. First off, a director has been hired for Order of the Phoenix, and I believe it is set for Summer 2007. That sounds so far away but... isn't really. I'm excited anyway though. So those kids are going to be twenty something by the time they finish. That's fine with me though since they'll just get better at this whole "acting" thing. By the time Harry Potter and the Canonical Prophecy rolls out, they'll be Oscar worthy! (And Dan will have learned how to cry)

Rumor has started about the Half-Blood Prince being released next summer. This sounds pretty logical to me, and I very much hope it is true.

While working on a paper last night I drop a glob of nacho cheese on a paper. Fortunately it was a paper from two years ago. I licked it off anyway. Tasty.

Today I had to staple about 25 pages together and my stapler couldn't handle it. So I did it manually. That is my level of dedication.

Speaking of tasty, I am hungry. Hungry for werewolf.

Commencing Countdown

My head is going to explodeeeeeeee. POA is out next Tuesday! So close, yet so so so far away. I sat in the shadow of three POA posters for nearly two hours tonight. I heard a commercial for it. I am listening to the soundtrack right now. A meltdown is imminent.

*Sigh*

As consolation I saw my sister and my rapidly growing nephew (all memory of me was long gone). And I got new socks. Soft, soft socks. And a bagel, which is much more exciting than it sounds.

Oh, on that Christmas-related list, I forgot to put Unleashed Boba Fett.

Back to Harry Potter. This may be a first: a John Williams score I genuinely like. This is not helping to prevent a meltdown though.

Moving on...man, this is so good. I feel like I'm flying Buckbeak. You know, Buckbeak was a really good part of that movie. Such a great improvement (technically) over Fluffy. And the Cave Troll. And Firenze. *flies*

Who watched Lost tonight? I SO figured out last week that it was the French lady that caught Sayid. So, about this "sickness." I mean, clearly she's kind of nuts, but were the other people really sick or was she just really sick out of her gourd? Just another mystery. I bet she knows what the Invisible Dinosaur really is.

This movie is so good. OK, time to be quiet now. Sleep sleep.

The Day Has Come...

Yes, my friends. Finally--it is here. Prisoner of Azkaban is out next Tuesday. Equally exciting is that I am going to get it before I go to the airport. (And yes if I am in the terminal for more than a 1/2 hour I will start to watch it on the YumYum.) Hurrah! Also exciting, Collective Soul's new cd was released today. I'm hoarding my wealth for Harry but I'm still excited at the prospect.

In other news, I have begun to delve into the treacherous 10 page Maya research paper. By that I mean I have picked up one book from the library. I'm getting there. I just have to write it before next Tuesday so I don't have a metaphorical Blast-Ended Skrewt to take care of over Thanksgiving.

In a related story, I had a dream last night that Hagrid was sent after an escaped convict (he was a black man--hah hah...no, really, he was). He was all Modern Hitman Hagrid in black leather. Still had the beard though.

Prof. Sprout's character has been cut from The Order of the Phoenix movie. It's a shame for Prof. Sprout, but more importantly? They're working on the movie. Huzzah!

Now for some non-HP news. I have received some queries of late regarding my thoughts on Christmas presents. For the record, I will now list a few things off the top of my head that have escaped my possession. The Chronicles of Narnia, the first two Harry Potter movies, one of those sweetbees Sirius Black posters and... let's see. A new shower poof.

Well, kids, I have to go home early, and by home I mean "the library" and by early I mean "in just a second." Stay tuned--Lost is on tomorrow!

Oh, and how long has my sister been gone? At least a year, I'm sure.

Blame it on the Bloggster

Something really cool happened the other night. I had a nightmare about Saw without ever seeing the movie. (Well, not the movie per se, but the psycho in it--Jigsaw or whatever) He was chasing me a razor blade and had a scary voice. And I didn't even have any prior fear. Alas, such is life. At least there were no dead Asians involved.

POA and nephews in nearly 13 days!

(Who else thinks that Cat Boy hung his arms out the window on purpose to draw Bill Pullman inside?)

Ah, Classic

You know it's a good day when you find horrendous fan fiction. For example...

"A fourteen-year old girl lay on her bed. Actually, it was just a mattress and a fluffy comforter. This was Harriet porter."

Hmm...sounds like a bed to me. This is another one of those super-original fan-fics that consists of rewriting Harry Potter except exchanging Harry for themselves. This story, chapter and all, is almost as good as this quote from the author:


" PS - When I have my first kid, I'm gunna put it in one of those twin strollers and run around the mall looking frantic! "

Yeahhhhh... Anyway, so I watched both Shrek movies tonight. I love those movies! Shrek makes such a cute human with his sticky-out ears. So good. So, so good.

In other news, I'm really excited for Alexander to come out. I just want to see how badly it does. DANG IT!!! I forgot to watch Simpsons tonight! Treehouse of Horror, man! Pffft on me... In other news, I'm really tired and my room is a disaster, filled with de Chirico books. *sigh*

In the countdown news: today is the 7th. This means there are 16 days until Prisoner of Azkaban and Seattle. Hurrah! And only two full weeks until Thanksgiving break.

Frizzle frazzle.

Tick Tock

Day two of the 70% Aftermath. Slide quiz today. Not too shabby, but not too splendid. I guess all there is to do is write a top-notch paper and completely spaz out about studying for the final. I got a 9 1/2 (out of 10) on the last paper so that's something. It'll boost me up at any rate.

Yesterday morning I saw the music video for a song so bad I thought the only possible explanation was some kind of joke. A really bad joke. What do Shania Twain and Mark Mcgrath make? A party for two is what they want you to think. A really, really sucky song is the real answer. If anyone needs a laugh, I recommend watching the video (the double whammy of picture and sound is really great) pronto.

On my way to class today I squished a sizeable spider. I was walking on past but it started heading towards an unsuspecting hall sitter. So I casually "looked at a poster" and put the smack down. I'm still waiting for my medal. I'm also still wondering if anyone saw it and cleaned it up. I sure as heck didn't.

I have too much to do this weekend. Well, I guess "too much" implies impossibility, which it isn't. But it seems like too much when all I want to do is sit around and read Harry Potter, possibly while consuming mass quantities of Velveeta. And ice cream. Pumpkin ice cream. Mmm.

I have reached the conclusion that, in general, Progresso soups are better than Campbell's Chunky soup. At least the cream/chowdah kinds are better. Progresso's New England Clam Chowder is splendid, while Campbell's ham and potato chowder is...average. This is my recommendation.

Oops, wait... Erm, you're breaking up... *Fzzzt* --you say? *Snazzzt* I-- *Fritzzzzzzzzzzz*

Reluctantly Floating On

Well. I took my second test for Maya art just now. It took 2 hours, after 6 hours of studying today. I've done all the reading. I've never missed class. I take copious notes that take me much time to read through. You'd think this would warrant some kind of...something. Turns out it warranted a 70%. Yeah, a freaking 70%. OK, OK, so that's not taking the short answers, dates and essays into consideration. There's also a slide quiz tomorrow that is tabulated. Still, this is not going to get near an 80%. This is very depressing to me. If I weren't so tired and hungry I might be angry enough to pop corn out the Maya people.

To make things worse, I was taking the test tonight and missed Lost. So I don't know what happened, and I missed my little ritual of Lost and clam chowder night. I only get half of that now. *sigh* It's a good thing I have ice cream.

I saw the video for the new Modest Mouse song this morning. I was kind of confused until I realized he was the crow, and not just a random body in the corn. I want to hear the song again. I can't remember it now, and there's no one online to hunt it down with mysterious methods. That is exactly why I need to be taught the Mysterious Methods.

Oh, and I, too, gave the enthusiastic metaphorical hat-throw-in-the-air this morning when I turned on CNN.

I don't want to study anymore. I want to sit in my bed and read Harry Potter. Is that too much to ask? I'd at least like to get an e-mail or something sometime. Maybe a song or two. Maybe a missil to launch at Palenque and Copan.

Grrrrs.

Fweep

Some people think I don't blog anymore. Some people think I haven't blogged since the fall of Rome. Some people are crazy.

Unlike a lot of people of my acquaintance I voted. I sent in my ballot last week and I feel pretty pleased about that. We'll see how it turns out. *crosses fingers*

In other news, I like Harry Potter.

In other stupid news, I love that MTV has these "Inform your Vote" things that are all "impartial" and stuff. After this speal they show two anti-Bush videos in a row. I mean, I know there aren't any anti-Kerry videos but Keane is always a nice alternative. In short, when MTV trys to be "intelligent" it is always much of the suck.

In other cool news, the Do Not Disturb sign disappeared from the Mysterious Door on JKR's website. So after much cheating, I got past the riddle and read three of the chapter titles. Hurrah! I have no idea what Draco's detour is, I think Felix Felices (sp) is a spell and I have no idea who/what the spinner is and what its end is. (Though my first thought was Aragog. My second was Trelawney but I can't explain that one)

I was reading a HP fanfic once upon a time, involving much death and intrigue. Unfortunately, someone slacked off and the end will forever be a mystery to me. I am currently considering posting it in some sort of fanfic community, just to get a reaction. Perhaps that will cause an ending to be written--pleadings from confused readers!

Doesn't a bagel with cream cheese sound perfectly lovely? I drool for it the way I drooled (gracefully, mind you) for Ritz sandwiches this past weekend. *Drools*

Fweeeeep.

Talkin' Bout Crazy Cool Medallions

Ah, Halloween. The most fun one-day-only holiday. You know what one of my best Thanksgiving memories is? The Thanksgiving of many moons ago, back in my inexperienced freshmen days. That day was filled with so. much. food. Then, during and after the food we watched Rush Hour. Then, later at home, I watched Legally Blonde and ate leftover pie while lying on an oh-so-comfortable grey couchy/pillowy/futony chair thing. That Thanksgiving also included the first Harry Potter movie, and my first rereading of the books. Yet the second time through did not really draw me in anymore than the first. All it did was make me want to be Hermione for Halloween.

Back to Halloween. So I want to wear my costume every day. If crimping my hair didn't take so long I would probably do that every day. Alas, it cannot be done. And so I must return to everyday life and everyday clothes on Monday. At least sweater vests and cordouroy exist in the world. Hey, who are you calling "nerd"?

OK, I had a horrible experience the other night. I wish I weren't typing this at nearly 1 AM. Alas, such is life. Anyway, I had a dream that I was at home with my sister in the middle of the night. All the lights were out... Must break to put on happy music. Ah, British pop. Anyway, so we were in the house and talking/thinking about The Ring but when we did Samara would appear and be UBER-FREAKY. So we were all "Dude, we have to stop thinking about this!" and I was seriously freaked out. So we walked upstairs and found the piano playing itself. Yeah, Samara again. I got so mad I started smashing the piano bench. "Leave us alone!" and the like. So, then, she begins to materialize on the floor at my feet. She reaches for both my ankles and--I wake up, scared out of my gourd. I was too scared to open my eyes, move or look at the clock. So I laid there for a few minutes and then started hearing these noises...voices. For real. I about had a heart attack but was too scared to get out of bed. So after a few minutes of extreme fear and trying to convince myself the voices were in my head, I realized it was the tv in the living room. "The tv is ON." So that didn't help. More time passes. I can move now, but thinking about the dream sends fear all over me, starting from my ankles. So, finally I realize that it must be my roommate watching tv, I finally check the clock: 3:14. Every month or so she stays up super late watching tv. So this is some comfort and I doze off momentarily, only to awake to footsteps. So, after some panic, I realize it's my roommate, and I hear the bathroom door shut. I fell asleep about two seconds later, but it was so freaky. First the dream, the the voices, then the tv. Oy. When I woke up from that dream, my first thought was "I am never seeing that movie again. Ever. Never. I will never buy it for anyone, ever. I will never, ever experience The Ring again." That opinion has not changed.

OK, happy news for just-before-bed time. Umm. Has anyone seen the new Episode III teaser poster? (As seen here) It's pretty sweet. The Darth Vader head is a little awkward but I like the idea, and Anakin looks pretty cool. Looks like he borrowed Locke's (Lost) scar.

Oy! Best movie news! Sony Pictures is making a movie of Fantastic Mr. Fox, which is my favorite Roald Dahl book (not with the Quentin Blake illustrations--the old ones). Not only are they making a movie, it's going to be stop-motion animated movie! Perfect! I hope. The director is Wes Anderson, who made the upcoming The Life Aquatic which looks quirky funny. Perfect! I hope. Such a great book. So sad when he loses his tail though.

OK, I think Mr. Fox, along with Christian/Ewan MacGregor, have cleared up the bad dream blues.

*zap*

Caves of Polar Bears

So, who watched Lost tonight? I can guarantee one person did. That's right. Me. The original, ran-home-from-class-to-watch-the-pilot fan that converted all around me. Or something. Anyway, so not much happened tonight. I'm little surprised there wasn't more of a hollabaloo over those corpses. I mean, how often do they find 40 year old corpses? Is no one curious? I also wonder if they happened to move them or anything before the Beach Flee-ers moved in. And who else thinks there's something developing between Kate and Sawyer? I think Sawyer will be showing hidden depths as some point soon. Probably just before he gets EATEN BY THE MECHASAURUS REX.

I just ate a whole lot of graham crackers. Whew!

Movie news: a new screenwriter for Indiana Jones 4 was announced today. He wrote the scripts for The Terminal and Catch Me if You Can. So basically we can assume Tom Hanks will be replacing Harrison Ford in the lead role.

So apparently New Line Cinema--you know, the studio that made such awesomness as The Lord of the Rings--is really serious about making the movie Snakes on a Plane, and got a director today. Snakes. On a plane. I bet it won't be as funny as the SNL cobras-on-a-plane skit. "You put your AI Steak Sauce on...ME!"

There are three new pictures from Episode III out today. The trailer comes out the with The Incredibles, but that's not enough to get me to see The Incredibles. Something about those character designs... Anyway, Revenge of the Sith pictures. Here they are. Pretty cool, though I maintain my feelings on Anakin's greasy hair.

*yawn*

Pachyderm.

Wheeeee

Prisoner of Azkaban comes out next month! And next month is less than a week from now!

Expecto Patronum!!!

It ain't real but it's still so good

Velveeta, that is. What is it about that stuff that makes me want to eat it all the time? So cheesy, so yellow. Just right! I have a granola bar with me and that just isn't as appetizing. The orange wrapper does match my sweater though. That is not as good as Velveeta either.

So I'm supposed to be finding out about notary officials right now. Notice how I am still here. I got some time right? I was going to go see a stuffed elephant, but I never had time for that anyway. I've had the word "pachyderm" in my head this morning. How do words get in your head anyway?

I just took a test and the girl next to me kept moving her gum around in her mouth. This has made me vow to never chew gum again. This resolve will last approximately 20 minutes, until after I have eaten my non-Velveeta granola bar and don't feel the need to spread my peanut butter breath across the landscape.

Pachyderrrrrm.

Hats and Ponytails

If only it weren't Monday again tomorrow. Monday must be the most dismal day of the week. Fortunately, it's the last week of October--fortunately, not b/c I dislike Oct, because then it will be November and almost Thanksgiving break and then almost Christmas break. Ahhhh. It's so close I can almost kind of taste it. But not really.

Time for the weekend box office. The Grudge won out in a big way with 40 million. Whew! it definitely benefitted from The Ring and, you know, the season. Sounds like Sarah Michelle Gellar is on her way to, like, a movie career. Hopefully she gets a bit of fat on herself in the process. In the sad news of the weekend, Ben Affleck had his worst movie opening, I think, ever with Surviving Christmas at #7, with 4.5 million. This is why 1) Christmas movies don't come out before November 2) ANY non-Halloween holiday movies should never start out against a scary movie. Success is just not possible. So, the Ben Affleck backlash continues. It's too bad, because he's still loads better than J-Flo (even if only by Matt Damon association) and she's doing all right. Pffft on Flo.

I carved a pumpkin tonight! It's totally Halloween time.

I just glanced at a few prelimiary reviews for Alfie and it's not looking good. Any surprise? Mmm.... no. I'll take About a Boy. Did anyone else find the Jude Law/Sky Captain skit on SNL last night fantastically hilarious. "Why would I want to take a bite out of a fireball?"

Speaking of SNL. Wasn't Ashlee Simpson's performance great? Loved that lip synching. Loved that "My band did it ahhhhhh." Pfft on her. What makes it even funnier is her little quip on lip synching from Lucky magazine (or something):
"I'm totally against it and offended by it. I'm going out to let my real talent show, not to just stand there and dance around. Personally, I'd never lip-synch. It's just not me."
Good job, you know, documenting your non-lip synching-ness.

Almost Halloweeeeeen! Wheeee! (And POA comes out in less than a month! Wheeeee!)

Watch out for Cat Boy!

So today was so of the awesome. I only worked for two hours, and was running frantically to get bathrooms done, so that went super quick. Then I went to a wedding and sat around with thecutestboyeverohmygosh. Then I got to eat buckets of food, including way too many of those Hickory Farms mint-y things. Then I saw The Grudge (more on that) and then I watched some Friends (as usual--the day ended in 'y') and ate a ginormous hamburger. I've had enough beef this week to top out my protein levels for the next month. If beef weren't so good, I might feel over-beefed.

OK, so I read today some quip from Kate Winslet about her willingness to "doff her duds", as they say. So if I were one of her kids in like 15 years, I think it would be really strange that everyone had seen my mom naked in a movie or what have you. I mean, yeah, it's a movie and she's acting--it's not like she's walking around town naked just for kicks and giggles. I just think it would be odd.

I also think it's odd that all of imdb.com's news articles start out with "X blasted Y for *insert statement/incident/etc.*"

OK, so about this Grudge thing. I got in trouble for revealing too much about The Village so I will keep my thoughts more concise. Yes, it definitely had its scary moments, and I will not deny that I tended to mush myself back into the chair at times. But one can't help comparing it to The Ring, which just had better: 1) story/script 2) cast 3) cinematography 4) characters 5) villain...*shudders*. All of this just added up to a better made, more quality flick. The Grudge is good for scares, but it's just not really good. Partly because it left some confusion also. Question: what was up with the mass of black...hair in the corner, the night the old woman dies? I mean, of course it goes along with Dead Woman's hairstyle of choice, but...what did it mean? Also, what did the old woman see when they first looked at the house and why could she see it and not her oh-so-unfortunate kids? And why did it take Dead Woman so long to kill the old woman anyway? So many mysteries with this old woman... I found out earlier that there is sequel to the Japanese original. Just a sidenote. (Also, The Grudge never made me mush as much as The Ring did.)

On the topic of scary movies, I'm going to be travelling at Thanksgiving time, and I think maybe someone I'm visiting should watch Signs whilst I am visiting. It's so good, and really not that scary. Just...good. So good! They should also watch About a Boy because it is absolutely hilarious in a smarter kind of way.

Luc Besson is making an animated movie. OK, I love Fifth Element as if it were my own and I like The Professional more everytime I see it, but ummmm... the Joan of Arc movie was an absolute CATASTROPHE and Madonna was just cast in a lead role in this movie. I mean, she can't act in a live-action movie, what makes them think she'll be better doing this? Shame on you, Luc Besson. Shame on you.

I miss my bed. So. So. Much.

Red Fish Blue Fish Superman Fish

I just watched Van Helsing again. I notice more and more flaws everytime I see that flick...and yet I watch it again. For example, how does the Heroic Trio get out of Castle Roxula? I mean, that mirror/map/transport/thing was all about the one-sidedness when Carlmir tried to get back through. Just one more question we will never know the answer to.

So, this has to be some of the oddest movie news I've heard in some time. The only reason I didn't mention it earlier is because I thought it was completely untrue. Apparently, Franz Ferdinand, those guys who want you to take them out, are going to be writing some music for GOF, for the Weird Sisters to play at the Yuletide Ball. But get this, they might actually play the Weird Sisters. Yes, I, too, am scratching my head.

So about this Superman kid, Brandon Routh... Pfffft. I'm still bitter about Bryan Singer ditching his "beloved" X-Men. But check out the list for the "front runners" for Lois (insert pffffts): Mischa Barton(The OC), Charisma Carpenter(Buffy-Angel), Mia Kirshner(The Crow sequel), Evangeline Lilly(Lost[!!]), Natalie Portman(Star Wars) and Keri Russell(Felicity). Yesssss, I'll see ya there.

Oo, who watched Lost last night?! WHAT IS UP WITH THE EMPTY COFFIN?! Did the airline not let him fly with the body (but why would he take an empty coffin back and why would he frizeak when he saw it was empty?)? His pops can't be alive... BUT, I read an interesting point last night. OK, the criminal (Kate) has become the lawmaker (with the sheriff's badge) and the paralyzed man (Locke) is now Mr. Survival. People are becoming the OPPOSITE of what they were before. So... does the previously dead father now live (in some form?)? PLUS did anyone else find it freaky and ominous that the Pops was being shown FROM THE BACK? Gahhh... I also read some interesting theories about the animal noises (from people who obviously watch more closely than I). The theory goes that the "roar" is made up of two noises--one natural, one not (metallic). Perhaps this means a creature is let out (the metallic noise being a door/gate being opened) and then the noise of the actual creature as it is let out. Oy. I can't wait to see this whole mystery be unravelled. I am hooked.

And now I am hooked into the idea of going to bed. Night, y'all.

Face Your Enemy

Well, it's that time again. Time for everyone to notice how long it's been since the Green Bottle's been refilled. Tsk tsk.

So today on superherohype.com they were boasting about having an EXCLUSIVE first picture of Dr. Doom from the Fantastic Four. Yeah, maybe this would have been cool if it weren't just a picture of Mr. Nip/Tuck in a nice suit. That's why superherohype.com got this "exclusive"--no one else wanted it.

OK, this is really weird. The bass from the subwoofer is making a spot of on my leg vibrate. Just a spot. Time to move that leg.

Well, Bryan Singer cast Superman. It's some guy named Brandon Rockemsockem with the impressive credits of One Live to Live and Will and Grace. Score! Can't wait for that. I suspect Lois Lane will be played by Lisa Brenner, formerly of Another World. "Here's your precious baby, Superman!"

I saw my first ten minutes of Walker, Texas Ranger today. Yes, it was as bad as I thought it would be, and yes, it did have some of the worst fist fight SFX I've ever heard. Like someone slapping a raw steak with a spatula.

Lost is on on Wednesday! It's so close I can taste the polar bear now.

Flourish and Bloxxes

Ah, what a fine day Friday is. I wish I were at home right now to enjoy it. But campus is my second home so I guess it makes sense but maybe.

I'm so very hungry. I've hardly eaten anything all week except crackers, Honey Bunches and the occasional ramen. D'ohs on me--I need to go grocery shopping.

So there are these new official POA style Gryffindor scarves...in purple and gold. Doofs.

I have a great quote from school this week (from a live person, not readings) and I just want to hear some guesses about class and context. This was totally on topic by the way, not some crazy tangent. Here it is:

"This is menstruation envy!"

Any guesses?

All Your Weight, it Falls on Me

Hoorah! Collective Soul is releasing a new CD on November 16th called Youth. I wish Colplay would follow their example. My roommate's birthday is somewhere around Nov. 16th, and I think I might just have to get myself a present. This is the best news of the day!

In related news, I don't know where my copy of Seven Year Itch it is, and it makes me sad because I like the "left me for the government" song. D'oh!

Lost is on tonight. Maybe some unlucky sucka will get eaten today. As long as Dominic Monamerry and Mercutio get off the island I will be happy so Lady Beastie can have a field day. I kind of miss Mercutio's dreads. Cutting them off aged him at least five years. Maybe that was his point, but it won't get rid of the image of him in drag, singing at a Capulet party.

If anyone here hasn't heard Collective Soul's Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid, should.

See's Candy is so yummy. I wish I had some.

Hot Topic came out with a new Harry Potter shirt this week, with the most unlikely character. Oliver Wood, aka Sean Biggerstaff! I want that shirt! I mean, OLIVER! If only they had a Hermione shirt. Come on, Oliver gets a shirt and not Hermione? *Sigh*

Nox.

49 Away

So I don't know what's up with everyone being "too cool" to blog or whatever. Some people think you actually need "something" to talk about. Pfft on them.

I've had Jekyll and Hyde music running through my head since Friday night. I'd probably be going crazy if I didn't like it so much. I still can't believe it was filmed on Broadway...with David Hasselhoff. With that thought, here, everyone, have a shudder.

Breaking news! It's Hugh Jackman's birthday! Hurrah for Hugh Jackman being born.

So Bryan Singer keeps going on about how he's going to cast an unknown for Superman. That's all well and good but I wish he would hurry up and do it just so he can stop saying that. I'm still a bit bitter about him dropping X-Men at soon as Supes came up. I'm voting for Joss Whedon doing it, because I really his writing in Astonishing X-Men.

If any of you might be thinking Jekyll and Hyde isn't worth your time, check out this enthusiastic Amazon review:

"I THINK JEKYLL AND HYDE THE MUSICAL IS THE BEST MUSICAL AND SHOULD BE GIVEN A GRAMMY. "
