Here's your Daily Depeche Mode song I keep listening too. The first time I saw this video I hadn't heard many songs yet, and was just traveling through Youtube watching videos trying to decide if they were good. I just remember thinking "That guy's pretty angry." Then when the song came up on my mp3 player later, I was like "I really like this one ( Read more... )

Hey! Long time, no... anything! Happy Thanksgiving! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Happy Halloween? Has it been that long? I am too lazy to check. I lurk around not posting, but reading and going, "I need to comment on that!" and not commenting. It's not the best system, but it seems to be the one I've settled on.

Hmm... once I got started, this ( Read more... )

I just saw a commercial for a movie that looked like it may be good, and then... surprise! It's about Shakespeare. I feel duped.

I finished  We Need To Talk About Kevin and now I need to see the movie. Yesterday. Seriously. It's already out in France, and if I could find an English subtitled version of the French version, or an English language ( Read more... )

There's a long post in the pipeline, but I'm too lazy to finish it, So here is a bunch of random unrelated things.

Pottermore. I got my email yesterday (finally! I did the whole magic quill  thing on day one) so I went to check it out. It's actually pretty cool. There's a lot of reading, basically background information and insight into the writing ( Read more... )

So earlier, I'm here working my way through The Half-Blood Prince when I hear a weird tinking noise coming from the other room. I know Potter movie weekend is over, so Ma's not watching movies. Nope,it turns out she's watching some 6-part Biography channel Making the World of Harry Potter thing. My lack of television strikes again!

Day 11 (July 14th ( Read more... )

I'm finally starting to get a lil excited. A few minutes ago I posted "Two more days..." on my fb page. Not too "OHMYGOD! DEATHLY HALLOWS!" (which it is), you know, because I'm old. It's one of those things that could be anything (two days is Friday, after all), but if you know me, you know what I'm talking about. Two minutes later a sightly older- ( Read more... )

Last night's post was so long I did not get to open with my daily Potter World Cup update. Snape won. That's acceptable enough, (he is, after all, one of my favorite characters), but I'm still sad he had to beat Ron to do it. But, if you can't be voted the best character (even if you are), you might as well be voted the second best, so I'll take ( Read more... )

Babysitting and math homework helping has me two days behind, so I'm gonna do two-for-one here. Of course it does not help that there was some sort of all-night "hey, we''re gonna be upgrading your internet/phone software right when you were about to hit [Post Entry] on this" thing going on last night too. And now I'm about to leave again ( ( Read more... )

I just got home from babysitting and remembered I needed to check up on (and possibly vote again in) the Potter World Cup. Brackets are Serious Business! Plus that pesky Sirius Black was threatening to take out the character that, if I'd filled out a paper bracket, I'd have had going all the way to the top (or center, but you get the point). I  ( Read more... )

It's Potterpalooza 2011 up in here. Two rooms. Two screens. Two Potter marathons. I'm on Prisoner of Azkaban via DVD, Ma's on The Goblet of Fire on ABC Family. That's a lot of wizardry.
So now we're reaching the part of the Harry Potter meme where I'm a bit out of my element. Potter fandom is like a big scary city, and I just kind of hang out in the ( Read more... )
