all kinds of good and bad stuff
sorry i had a better title, but because of falling in and out of sleep on the couch all day i kind of lost it. i'm not too bright right now.
the weekend started off kicking ass, and you all know what i'm talking about. but i'll get to that later. everything went seriously downhill on saturday afternoon. matt and i were driving on sandtown road, which is up near red top mtn estates (the boonies)and this old lady in a van didn't yield or slow down when she was coming the other way, so, such is our luck, we got into an accident. my car is wrecked to the point of no return, matt's wrist got sprained and he has a hematoma in his arm. i just kind of got banged up by the seatbelt and airbag. so now what's going on is we're just waiting for the insurance comanies to start rolling...since it was the other lady's fault, we have to get her insurance company to pay for everything...therein lies the challenge. the adjuster was supposed to call us back, which of course he never did. and now they're giving us this jazz about who was liable to try and worm out of the shit. um, hello? i think i know who was liable...the person who got the fucking ticket, maybe?! i really really don't wanna have to go to court for all this, but if they don't reimburse us we might have to. needless to say, this kind of brought me down from my good mood from thursday night. i'm just glad no one died though. i mean if you'd seen our car and then seen the damn van that the other lady was driving (it was propped up against a phone pole with its ass end in the air and the front smashed into the ground and the old lady just walked away without a scratch). the doctor who treated matt and kennestone said both of us were lucky to be alive. so, that was my latest non-drug-related brush with death. if anyone has any advice or anything on how we can go about this without getting royally screwed any further, i'd appreciate that greatly.
now....without further ado...here it is, people....
TOP TEN HIGHLIGHTS, LOWLIGHTS AND WTF MOMENTS OF HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE
10: Voldemort...they tried to make him look a little too snaky for my tastes. i mean it was like he was this evil albino monkey or something. but the whole scene in the grabeyard was one of the scenes that was done almost perfectly, so it passed from a highlight to a lowlight and then back to a highlight.
9: The whole Hagrid and Madame Maxime thing was supposed to be cute in the book. here it was gross and borderline creepy. lowlight.
8: Uh...someone needs some drugs. And that someone would be Dumbledore. did you not think he was about to beat the crap out of poor Harry when he was asking him if he put his name in the goblet? and then all the other times it looked like he was about to start wigging out and speaking in tongues. somebody call mundungus fletcher and hook dumbledore's ass up with some chronic!!! WTF?!?!
7: McGonagall's line in the beginning: "He's only a boy, he's not a piece of meat!" Um...I beg to differ, McGonagall. Highlight.
6: what was up with the random black dude walking around in the dashiki and blue robes? i mean, was he with hogwarts, durmstrang, beaubaxtons...what? this gets a wtf for pure randomness.
5: beaubaxtons: leave it to the french to always be doing something gay and acting really really conceited about it. lowlight.
4: the hungarian horntail part was too short, but it kicked ass. definite highlight.
3: man, they really laid the whole "Potter Stinks" campaign on way thick...too thick. it the book it was gravy, here it's molasses. and good god, hufflepuffs are assholes!!!! lowlight, dammit!
2: no house elves!!!!!!! wooooooot!!!! even though seeing a drunk one would have been funny...no. i will not give into the house-elf hustle. highlight for lack of house elves
and the number one highlight lowlight or wtf moment of hp gof....
1: the prefects bathroom scene....the scene i've been waiting to see since i read the freakin book...oh. my . god. highlight.
other stuff at the midnite showing: got to see diane, will, ryan and melissa, which rocked even though we weren't in the same theater. i didn't see katie though which sucked. the theater we were in, 1, was probably the most retarded theater in there. people would not stop taking pictures! and then these guys got up and started doing random birthday sououts...which set off a chain reaction of everyone else doing them. and then this black dude got up and, a la eddie murphy, was like, "This is my best time in America, i love America!" right before everyone started singing happy birthday to people we didn't even know. so it was a shitload of un and if i could relive one day over and over until my head explodes, it would be that one. wow. i am a huge dork.
