In which I curse the eighth month
How are you all today? Have the Merlin fans on my flist recovered from the exciting events of yesterday?
I feel stupid, I'd just finished telling ella_bane about how I don't take the show seriously and then I watch this and I'm like WOAH THIS IS THE GREATEST THING IN THE HISTORY OF ANYTHING EVER.
I've calmed since then but seriously, was this a great trailer or what?
Things wot I loved, in list form:
CLANG-Y SWORDS
BALD UTHER, LOL WUT
SEXY GAWAIN, HONESTLY, I WAS INDIFFERENT WHEN THE PICS WERE RELEASED BUT AS I'M A FICKLE WOMAN, I HAVE CHANGED MY MIND NOW, THANK YOU
PROFESSOR SPROUT
LOL DONKEY EARS, OMG I AM GOING TO FACEPALM SO HARD IN THAT EP
THE ANSWER TO THE ETERNAL QUESTION - DOES GAIUS SPIT OR SWALLOW. WAS THAT EVEN GAIUS? IDK. BUT LEON GETS A FACE-FULL
ARTHUR IN THE HALL KNEELING, HE IS PRECIOUS
THE BOYS ON HORSIES
MERLIN TIED UP, HELLO LADIES
EVIL MORGANA, SEE ALSO: SMIRKING MORGANA. HOLY FUCKING SHIT YES
THAT BIT WHERE SHE STABS THE SWORD IN THE GROUND AND IT'S LIKE MERLIN HAS BEEN HIT WITH SOME SORT OF SPELL, OMG I JUST ABOUT CAME
Is it September yet? Actually, I'm putting August on notice. If it doesn't go past really quickly, I'm going to be mighty pissed.
Now, if only someone would leak the CC Deathly Hallows footage, I could die a happy woman.
Other stuff:
*Went op shopping on the weekend, turned out to be fruitless though, I only picked up a few cookbooks.
*Family gathering on Sunday went swimmingly, all my cooking turned out fine.
*rayslady's postcard finally came! Actually, funny story, we were chatting on AIM today and she asked me if it had arrived yet and just as I was replying no, my Nan walks in with the mail and hands it to me. Am now convinced Julia is hiding outside in the bushes, plotting to kill and dismember me. YEAH, I'M ONTO YOUR GAME.
*Arcade Fire's new album - I've given it a few listens and I'm still not sure what to make of it. Has anybody else listened yet? What do you think? It's a lot more poppy than I've ever heard them play. I almost thought I'd got the wrong album when the first few chords of The Suburbs played. I don't know. I don't not like it, it's just not what I'm used to hearing.
*A Very Potter Sequel was fantastic and everything I wanted in a follow up, I love those guys so much. I can't say if I liked it better than AVPM, but Lucius Malfoy is my new favourite thing, I haven't lol'ed that hard in ages.
*Is anyone good at layouts? I want a new one, I hate the width in this one. Alternatively, does anyone know a good layout comm?
Day 11: What character would you say you are most like?
I guess I'm like Ron, who I also named as my favourite character, does that make me narcissistic? In any case I have some of his best and worst traits, I'm loyal, I defend my friends with vigour, we have a similar humour, I can be quite emotionally constipated, I'm jealous and resentful and have a major inferiority complex. YAY US!
Day 12: Favorite ship.
Ron/Hermione - the only het ship in my top five.
Day 13: Least favorite movie.
I have enormous trouble rewatching GOF and I've never been ably to completely put my finger on why, because some of the stuff I really liked (the three champions, everyone's '60s hair, Radcliffe's acting when he's getting crucio'ed and when he's sobbing over Cedric's body, etc). I guess it mostly boils down to the fact that the film itself was so fragmented and jumpy, it really just annoys me.
Day 14: Team Voldemort or Team Harry?
I will not dignify this with a response.
Day 15: Who would be your best friends at Hogwarts?
I could see myself hanging around Luna for the lulz.
