Best HP Movie Yet...Yayyy, It Didn't Suck =)

The sixth Harry Potter movie was by far the best!!!! This being said despite sitting next to a woman with a squirrel in her throat (well, I could only assume by the horrifying laughter she emitted every other minute for the 153 minute duration of the movie) who enjoyed eating peanuts (which I'm deathly allergic to) for half the movie. Just when I was about to say something, she put the peanuts away, but I still got the hives on my face and itchy eyes/nose/throat/everything. I need to remember to keep my epi-pen with me at all times..hmm..anyway....

BEST HP movie yet! This is the first one since Richard Harris' death where I didn't want to punch Dumbledore in the face! Michael Gambon actually created a likeable, funny, and true-to-the-book Dumbledore, so I could not complain. It actually made me care when Dumbledore dies (SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE!). This was also the first one that didn't provide me with even one example of horrid acting. Usually Rupert Grint's annoying blah acting (that's really the only way to describe it) gets me down or I'm making a face at Emma Watson's lack of subtlety with her over-the-top stage acting, but they really didn't give Grint much acting to do, and Watson has toned it down significantly. Hooray! Also, they made sure to give most of the more...well...legendary actors their due screen time. Julie Walters, Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman (love)...etc....every move and/or facial expression...perfect. And I'm a sucker for Snape/Alan Rickman. Nothing Rickman can do is wrong. And Snape is the best character no matter what. So there.

The story didn't seem rushed or anything. It probably helped that I didn't reread the book before I saw the movie, so I couldn't get too pissed about missing pieces. I just felt that the story was paced well and it was easy to follow, which hasn't been the case for the last couple of HP movies.

Soundtrack sucked. I think. I didn't notice it, and the few times I did it wasn't awe-inspiring like previous soundtracks. But it also didn't distract me from the actual movie, unlike previous soundtracks. So take that for what it's worth.

The movie did focus a lot on relationships. Which, hey, who doesn't focus on relationships when they're 16 years old like the characters in the movie? The only thing that sucked about this was the fact that the theatre I was in was chock-full of friggin' 16 year olds. Therefore, my brain was brutally murdered with the amount of giggling I heard tonight. Every time one character looked at another or kissed another or said one friggin' word to another I heard a chorus of high pitched giggles that reminded me of the torture of a middle school dance. I mean, don't get me wrong, the acting and writing in the movie made the teenage romance very entertaining, I chuckled lots. But for some reason (perhaps I'm bitter) I couldn't stand to hear the giggles that likely produced gushy diary or -worse- livejournal reviews of the movie and how it coincided with the writer's teenage lust.

Anywho, go see the movie. It was the best HP movie so far and I can't wait to see it again...quietly and alone in my home. hooray!

Bunnies!

So anyone who knows me well knows I loooove bunnies. Well, my buddy Adam likes to make fun of this interest of mine, saying that he will kill bunnies. He likes to taunt me. So tonight while he was at work, my friends and I took a bunch of pictures of various bunnies that I printed out and we put them ALL OVER HIS ROOM. Like, everywhere. In his drawers, in his fridge, in his pillowcases, we covered his computer mouse, at the bottom of his laundry basket, everything...there are some places I can't mention because he hasn't found them yet.

Vote for my Boyfriend!

OK, if you know me, you know that Brad and I have been together for a good 4 years now (that's even longer than how long my actual boyfriend Brian & I have been dating!). You need to vote for him as ACM Entertainer of the year!





Thanks, dolls. :)
My lovey Brad & I appreciate your support! ;)

"I think it's hilarious! Even if it's about Obama! But I'm not racist or anything..."

I get so frustrated and annoyed when people say something completely racist and then insist "But I'm not a racist..."

Yes you are! Everyone is! At least a little bit. Unless you have 100% understanding of every culture out there, you have some bit of racism inside even if you're not a hardcore KKK devotee. It's just a part of OUR culture and our human nature.

So shut up, you're racist.





(btw, the inspiration for this post comes from my persuasive communication course, where we discussed this story: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-02/21/content_10859686.htm. Quite interesting if you ask me.)

Alcohol Should Be Banned.

/\ I want one so bad.



I am filled with so much hate right now. I want to quit my job soooooo badly you have NOOOOOOOOO idea. I feel like I'm being threatened right now by people I wrote up last night (listen, don't walk into my freaking room drunk at 3:30am by accident. it's not that hard) and I'm so mad and upset and I'm so done.

But I can't quit because I want to go for an RD job after college.

But they went above me and all jumped their 300+ lb selves on my ceiliing to wake me up and started talking shit about me. I went to bed at 6:30am after writing people up for 3 hours. So they wake me up at 10:30 as their revenge.


In other news I'm scared and sad and can't get back to sleep. And I have to work again tonight.


Alcohol should be banned.

Except for when I want a glass of wine, because God knows I couldn't get through this job without those glasses of wine or grande sangria swirl margaritas (with a sugar rim). (see the small version above)

I Love Spending Money...

I bought myself a present I can't afford! Hooray!

It's the cutest little orange 8 GB ipod nano. I figure it's a gift for my heart, seeing as I dont' have a functioning ipod anymore and without an ipod, I don't exercise as much as I used to. So the logical thing to do was splurge and spend 100+ dollars on the adorable little thing. I'm still figuring out all the cool things you can do with it...yay!

My Material Guy

In every relationships' fight or break-up, one of the people (generally the male in a heterosexual relationship) says something really dumb.

In a discussion about whether we should be together or not, this is what my special someone had to say:

Folky812: it's ok

Folky812: you've already made sacrifices

Folky812: i've made sacrifices

Folky812: we've both made sacrifices to try to make this work

"Brian": What about all my stuff?



...priorities, right? ;)
