First off, Don't Ask Don't Tell just got repealed, and not gonna lie, I did an actual fist-pump when I saw the news. (Of course all the cool stuff happens after the Daily Show goes on break. That is how the universe works.)

Secondly, I saw Deathly Hallows, and it was pretty good, yes. I had no problems with it that weren't from the book--Ron's part ( Read more... )

ozfroggirl , I got your card! An especially lovely surprise as I don't recall asking for one, but hey, bonus holiday greetings are fun too. *g*

I read When the Wind Blows today, possibly because I harbor secret masochistic tendencies; between that and Barefoot Gen, I suspect I only have to watch Grave of the Fireflies to complete the trifecta of depressing ( Read more... )

I go home tomorrow morning! By which I mean, I get home tomorrow evening except that is actually tomorrow afternoon because I will be traveling into the past. Or across a couple timezones. Whichever. In any case, classes are done and I haven't had much to do the past couple days anyway which is how I ended up watching the first sixteen episodes of ( Read more... )

Five Questions meme, as taken from solaeris, whilst I wait for the next Avatar to finish being acquired.

I've seen some pretty amazing variations--WHY SO SIRIUS? for Sirius Black, for example, or, my personal favorite, I Wish I Could Quit BEING SO SRS for Brokeback Mountain, but I suspect this one may, in fact, be the geekiest.

I take perhaps more pride in this than I should.

So, I pretty much still love my drama group more than most other aspects of my life, possibly because we are so danged awesome, but possibly also because, through an interesting twist of conversation, I can get a guy to say, "Yeah, we're all gonna get laid! Unprotected sex! (raises hand for high-five from Other Guy) Other Guy, gimme some of that!"

Okay, pilot for a new Brit show called Being Human: god I hope this gets picked up, I love it. It may suffer from Pretentious Vampire Syndrome and what I'm sure will be a heavy helping of boring love interests, but it's gayer than a bloody Christmas tree and totally, totally adorable. Dammit, why is there another adorable Brit named Annie with a ( Read more... )

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: a good movie, even if there were some bits I would have liked to see and a few things I might have liked to go a bit differently, and miles better than Goblet of Fire, and hot damn, Imelda Staunton and Evanna Lynch are like the best things ever. And it was good. It was an actual cohesive movie, as opposed ( Read more... )
