(no subject)
Yes, yes, I realize it's been a long while since I've posted anything at all on this journal. I all too frequently allow real life to get in the way of fandom obsessions, and yes I do realize that I have to get my priorities in order.
Anyway,since I've been away I have taken two summer courses (English II and World Civilization I). I passed both of them so everything should, thankfully, be in order for my University transfer in the fall. Apart from that, I have spent the summer learning the dangers of workig at a movie theater (burns from popcorn oil at concesions are not fun no matter what anyone says), and, more importantly reveling in the wonder and joy that is Harry Potter!
I saw the OotP employee screening at the movie theater I work in the Sunday before it was released. It was a very exciting night for me, even though my fellow employees thought me insane by then end of it. I must say that this is the best movie of the series so far. Yes, they cut many things from the book, and they could have gone into much more detail with the actual Order scenes (these were much too short in my opinion), but overall, it was a very well paced, well scripted, and well acted film. (A particular stand out in terms of acting was Imelda Staunton as Delores Umbridge who definately deserves some official recognition for her excellent portrayal).
Needless to say I was happy to see it again on the Imax screen with my Sister and several of our friends. Yes, we dressed up. And yes I have provided you with humiliating photos so you can laugh uproariously at my house elf costume, complete with "sock donation bucket".
So, now we are gearing up for the midnight Deathly Hallows release party, which will also be masssive ammounts of fun! In the mean time, I'm trying desepreately to meet my last chance full moon fic challange deadline. I'm almos there, don't worry. I should have the entry up by Thursday. Also, Chapter 12 of The Night Vigil is comming along as well. I hope to have that up within the week, hopefully before the release of Deathly Hallows.
My self made, burlap sack, tea cozy with ears, house elf costume. Perhaps I have more time on my hands than I thought...
Our movie premire group. My sister is the blonde with the quibbler magazine. We had fun scaring the normal people by asking them to put their dirty socks in my donation bucket and going down the line taking polls about what was going to happen in Deathly Hallows.
