Part II NAO PLZ
Well the phoneline is FINALLY fixed. Can't believe it took two weeks. Sky and BT clearly do not communicate well at all. It took the boy who came yesterday three and half HOURS to put in a new socket and connection to the line outside. I forgot how much I rely on le interweb... :/
As to my other problem, I think it's all just disappeared under the surface again for the moment, but I am aware it's not gone away. I feel slightly better now that I don't have to worry about guitar for a while. My teacher has gone off into Pantoland until January. I am not sure whether I shall be going back in January though, what with my Mum's operation on the 14th. That, at least, is still weighing very heavily in the back of my mind.
I am off to London on Saturday to see my Dad and my Nan. My Nan thinks she's on her way out. She actually told me that on the phone, in pretty much those words. I think she's being a tad melodramatic to be honest... There are many people a lot worse off than her. Still, I suppose I should reserve judgement as to whether she is right until I see her.
I've had to get on the Christmas shopping this week so that I've got the London contingent's Christmas presents sorted - save posting them later on. Plus get my cousin a Birthday present cos it's her birthday on the weekend, just by chance. Normally I don't bother, but there's going to be a party and rargh. Oh well. I'll make a bracelet and I got a monsoon voucher, so that'll do.
Speaking of Christmas, I must get on with Christmas cards soooooon. Normally I've had them written for at least a couple of weeks already. I get bored at the end of October and just sit and do it. But I haven't done any yet. I'll have to do London ones before the weekend though, so I might as well do a few others at the same time. I think work has consumed my brain so much [in a not good way] that I just haven't had time to think about it.
I have GOT to escape. Today I just felt like Sally thinks I'm stupid. Whatever I did was picked up on and nit picked. I just can't deal with it when my general undercurrent of emotion ia already not good. What with the hiatus with internet, I forgot that I had half completed my application for the Cardiff Conservation Practice MSc. I really need to get it finished so I've got something else to focus on.
Work has also been a bit shit cos one of the Bailey's cats got run over on the road a couple of weeks ago. I found her, but I didn't realise it was her because she was so badly run over :[ I'm still really sad about it because Millie was awesome. She used to sleep all over the shop, so it's so weird not to have her there. Lilly has been a bit funny ever since and I think she misses her because she's got no-one to fight with anymore. It strange to mourn a cat that doesn't actually belong to you. R.I.P. Millie. I miss you ♥
I also ought to get back on the search for a band. Probably not in the guitar stakes. I feel like maybe I'm never going to be up to that. I just don't practice enough. But the singing is going very well. The lesson before last, my teacher told me she thinks I don't need as many lessons now! So yes. I need to be proactive about it.
HARRY POTTER SPOILERS
Yesterday I went to see Harry Potter. It was really good. Nice not to be in Hogwarts. As per normal they changed bits from the book and I still don't see how Harry is going to work out what the other Horcruxes are when there has been no mention at all of Hufflepuff's cup, or Ravenclaw's Diadem. Certain things were blatently ignored. I've learned to expect that by now though.
However, some things that were changed, were done so well in the film that I can forgive them easily. Liiike, the escape from the Ministry of Magic and Ron being Reg Cattermole and Mary Cattermole being confused. Also making the Tale of the Three Brothers into a mini animated story within the story was awesome. Really well done.
Hedwig's death was far worse in the film than in the book. I was lured in to thinking that they weren't going to do it, and then they did, which just made it all the more sad. It ended with Dobby's death which was just AWFUL. Sadsad!
The Death Eaters were given a lot more screentime this time. Yaxley is very well cast. As was the leader of the group of Snatchers that caught Harry, Hermione and Ron. He, incidentally, was rather hot... I don't want to find a snatcher hot! Lol.
Mundungus wasn't how I imagined him.
Still LOVELOVELOVE Fred and George. Those Phelps boys are awesome.
The Godric's Hollow sequence was IMMENSE. Really creepy.
Ralph Fiennes was again awesome.
....................
Am going to see it again tomorrow hopefully, this time with mother. No doubt I shall have to explain what has happened in the last three films since she's only seen them once, and not read the books. *le sigh*
Hope you are all good.
