Mmm, tastes like crazy
Friends. Romans. Countrymen.
Those of you well-known to me and dearly beloved, and those of you less well-known and only slightly less beloved (elsewise that is called stalking). In the coming weeks it shall be that time again - yes, that occasion celebrated by children and mourned by parents - that’s right. School holidays.
And yet, and yet my dear friends, I feel my heart filled with dread, and I beseech you, please, please, please do not leave me alone on holidays.
Yes, during my most recent bout of illnessness, I have also caught a touch of the stir-crazies, and I fear, left to my own devices for a fortnight with no one but myself to talk to (and presumably my family, but apparently, to them, it is more sort of being talked at), I shall tumble sideways off the pier of stability and into the murky waters of insanity, the fins of hallucination-sharks brushing against my legs, the seaweed-of-muttering-to-myself-in-public caught in my hair, the tentacles of eating-frogs-octupus reaching to drag me deeper. Crazy-crabs have already begun sucking at my eyeballs and nibbling my toes.
As you can plainly see, this being-alone-for-extended-periods-of-time prospect does not bode well for me, and you, my friends, you alone have the power to subvert my slow dwindle into madness.
Although, I feel, it may already be too late…
On a slightly less mad note, I went to see Fantastic Four 2 today, and it was pretty damn good (fantastic, even, and thus I had not been mislead). BUT, almost even more exciting than that (also, I do not want to go into details and spoil it for the lot of you by saying something like, gee am I glad earth didn’t get destroyed) was:
a) the giant billboardy promo thing for the HP5 movie, because OMG SO EXCITED! Even if Harry’s haircut looks like he got into a bad fight with not just one lawnmower, but an entire squadron, and also, we all know what is going to happen at the end of the movie (Oh, Sirius!). And also, book seven is out in a month, which, also, very exciting, and also a little sad, because I have been reading this series since I was 10 and it is nearly over! Personally, I kind of hope Harry has to sacrifice himself for the good of wizard- and man-kind. But I am dramatic like that, and also, sometimes, Harry annoys me.
And, b) there is a His Dark Materials movie coming out? Why was I not aware of this!?!?! Those of you not “in the know”, HDM is a series of fantasy books by Phillip Pullman, and they are just incredible and awesome, and they MADE A MOVIE of the first book and will be making more and WOW!!! It looks really good, too, not like some crappy half-job, and it has the witches and the daemons and Iorek and everyone and I am SO VERY STOKED!!!!! And it is coming out in December, so if you haven’t read the books, go read them and then get psyched with me and come with me as, like, a Christmas present or something and I will LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!
On another note. Simpson’s Movie. Makes me sad.
