gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat

Oh boy. Every time i skip Tumblr for a handful of days i feel like the entire universe has passed me by and it's impossible to catch up. WHOOPS. Anyway i got sick just in time for the weekend and have been useless and out of it and just today i was reminded that the new Harry Potter movie is THIS FRIDAY. You would think, between Tumblr pretty

YES, I'm excited for Harry Potter too! I'm going to nerd it up at a midnight showing, but it still feels like it's really far away to me! I guess it won't truly hit me until I'm in line. Hrmmm. I'm hoping these two movies are going to be the best since they've split the story and can maybe go into more detail.

When it was first announced, i was really pessimistic about the fact that they split it into two movies, but now that it's here i'm glad that we have a whole extra movie to look forward to. I'm not sure if more faithfulness to the books is what they really need, since it's very possible to get bogged down in too many details... but it's also neat that they can really spend time with the story. I hope they turn out good!

HAVE FUN AT MIDNIGHT! :D :D :D

Fandom speculation has me thinking that Jennifer Morrison might be related to the Mother, like a sister or a cousin.

I don't want to spoil this week's episode for you, but I have my own bit of fandom-related HIMYM relief because of what was revealed.

[toastandtea]

That's a good theory! She's gotta be important in one way or another.

I still haven't watched this week's. DANG IT.

Also: a med student named Martha! If she leaves the show it will be on the TARDIS.

WHAT. EVEN. I read this post backwards, but I swear I had things to reply to other than that. I can't remember. You're a genius.

That is merely how the geeky synapses in my brain work. Every thought i have is just tv shows bouncing between tv shows.

I don't get as excited for the HP films as I used to either, honestly, but I'm still somewhat excited. Mostly everything on Tumblr that's HP-related has been making me feel weirdly nostalgic, it being the final film(s) and all that.

Also, BOO HISS at being sick. I hope you feel better ASAP!

[toastandtea]

It's weird, i always love the trailers more than the films themselves, and yet immediately preceding the release date i STILL get all hyped up. Now that it's tomorrow i'm all WOOP WOOP HARRY POTTER WOOOOOOOP. I, too, am getting pretty nostalgic about the end just because i've come to really like those kids, and it's insane that we've literally watched them grow up.

I am now feeling better, and yet i have continued to hack my lungs out all week. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT. I hope you're not getting sick like you feared in your last post! You get sick too much! :(

[leucocrystal]

This is kind of a random tangent off your comment about loving the trailers more than the films, but I have a friend who started out as one of the best fanvidders I've ever seen, and went on to work at an Australian trailer house. His job is basically putting these things together (though he still does incredible fan work on the side), so I've heard a lot of interesting commentary about what makes a great trailer from him. The truth is, no matter how bad or good the movie, a great trailer editor (or team of them) can really surpass the quality of the product they're trying to sell, if they're good. The WB/HP team does really, really good work. And it is amazing that the world has basically watched these kids grow up, isn't it? I still remember when they were all wee fluffy BBs! D

I BELIEVE IT. Great trailers are a whooooooole separate thing from the movies they're actually for. They convey a totally different type of awesomeness, and if it's for something you're really anticipating, the excitement you get from watching them is unmatched.

I hope you're feeling better. Nobody should have to work themselves so hard when they're sick. :(

I wanted to apologize for the crazy-ass length of that last e-mail I sent you, lol.

DON'T APOLOGIZE! You're adorable. I'm just sorry i haven't been able to reply yet. I am awful at correspondence, it takes me so long to gather my words and i get distracted by other things and then i feel worse and worse for neglecting people. ~SOCIALLY LAZY SLOTH~

Hi! Just popping in to say I hope you feel better really soon. I got hit with damn food poisoning this week, so you're not alone with feeling unwell.

And Tumblr, oh tumblr. For one thing it is SUPER ADDICTIVE. For another, it pretty much stole me away from lj! And holy crap, sometimes there'll be tons of new tumblr posts to catch up on in mere minutes! It's crazy.

[toastandtea]

Ugh, food poisoning! :( I've never had that but i imagine it is horrible. I hope you're doing better now!

On the one hand, i love having tumblr when i'm bored, and often it doesn't update as much as i want when i'm refreshing it. But on the other hand, i hate when i have spent the entire day or handful of days busy with other things and have missed a ton of posts that i wish i could catch up on but can't. I suppose i just need to live in the moment and accept the fact that i will miss posts.

BTW I LOVE YOUR CONAN CAPS. You rule for making those.

[putinthespark]

Thanks! I am better now, thank god. It was only a mild case this time, but it was not fun AT ALL. Many years ago I had it BAD from chicken, good god, and I haven't touched a single bit of chicken since, lol. Silly I know, but it was that bad that I just never wanted it again!

I have the exact same problem as you do w/ Tumblr. As of now, I've got waaaaaaay behind again. I've just been so distracted all week that anything internet-related has piled up!

First thing though is to catch up on my Conan caps - which I am *thrilled* you love! It's about time I actually have something fun to post people enjoy eh? ;)
