Two discoveries:

- Wet gelatine looks like used condoms.

- I have a masculine brain. Not that surprising.

Review of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

So, I watched it today and have to rant a little.

I liked the opening, before the first scene, with Bellatrix shouts/moans "I killed Sirius Black!" Don't know why, it just sort of spoke to me. Then it went a bit downhill, in the cafeteria with that girl. I can see Dan wanting to pick up a girl, but not Harry and they have ruined the characters in the movies if you ask me. Not only Harry, everyone actually. Then Dumbledore just leaves Harry in the swamp outside the Burrow, which I find sad, I wanted them to have a talk in the broomshed! 

When it comes to the Burrow in general I'm fairly pleased, loved the scene where everyone's peeking out from various places on the stairs, even if they have changed the entire house from earlier movies. Julia Walters does a great job as Molly, Rupert is hilarious as Ron and Bonnie pulls through as Ginnny. However, Emma Watson got about as much resemblance to Hermione Granger as a fork got to a fan! She's bothering me a lot, but her acting have improved greatly, especially from GOF where she was just annoying.

The Apparation-scenes with the Death Eaters plays out nicely on the screen as a bit of action, but what is up with that black smoke? When Dumbledore Apparates you just see him disappear, or see them get squished, which is great. When the twins Apparated in OotP they also just was there, then they wasn't. (or the other way around.) Why do the Death Eaters have all these special effects?

Tom Felton plays Draco good, even though he's just a minor character in the movie. When he rambled on about Hogwarts going to the dogs I wanted him to say he was transferring to Pigfarts so much and broke out in laughter, making the guy next to me give me a strange look.

Rupert is also very good, even though he have limited screentime. Lavender makes me crack up, which is just the intention. The "fault" about these two in the movie are that they bring out too much concerning Ron and Hermione, the movie fails greatly on subtility. I kinda wanted it to be like "eh, maybe she likes him, maybe he likes her, but maybe not, we'll have to see, but I think they like each other." (Well, that was a stupid phrasing.)

Slughorn: when I first saw pictures of Broadbent playing him, I said there was no way that could work for me, and it didn't. Broadbent strikes me more as a Quirrel-type of guy, not loud and jovial Slughorn.

Bellatrix was just as insane as she should be, but Nacissa disappointed me. She's supposed to be Lucius' wife, not his senile aunt, right? And the lowlights looks plain out stupid.

Both little Tom Riddle and young Tom Riddle were played perfectly, they made my skin crawl in a wonderful way!

Tonks and Lupin were hardly there, so not much to say except I want more. Why did Luna have to be the one to find Harry on the train? It worked out okay, I guess, but I was looking forward to a bit of Tonks. Mr. Weasley looke braindamaged when he sat in the chair and listened to Remus, right? But, the one line Remus had was more or less directly from the book, even if the scene was cut down to a minimum.

All in all they have focused too much on the romance if you ask me, the climax of the movie seemed to be when Ginny and Harry kissed, which is strange on so many levels I can't even put it into words. What happened to the kiss in the common room after the Quidditch-victory? Oh, right, they cut out all Quidditch that hadn't got anything to do with Hermione wanting to snog Ron...

The death of Dumbledore was at least as anti-climatic as possible! He fell, then everyone lighted their wands, even Madam Pomfrey was there, but no one who should be there according ot the book! And I didn't see the point in bringing in Death Eaters if Draco was supposed to kill Dumbledore, Snape already was there and there was no frickin' fight! I want a fight! I want Bill's face slashed open! I want Remus and Tonks to have a quarrel! I want McGonagall to freak out over that it was Snape who killed their headmaster! I want Fawkes to sing! I want Dumbledore's funeral! AAAH!

The scene after was even worse, if you ask me, Rupert had apparently gone mute.

And why it was called "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was explained in a single, off-hand comment by Snape and gave the title zero meaning. Hello? Not like that's important, no, just would explain why Snape haven't given Harry to Voldemort yet. But Rickman preforms great as always, at least.

But all in all I enjoyed watching it, even if it was just a bad summary of the book.

The guy who should play Bill

Yeah, I'm still obsessing.

Anyway, Damian Lewis! Redhead, british, pure sex on legs. Maybe a bit too old, but they have added the scars on Gleeson and in my opinion... scars, a few wrinkles, could be mistaken. He's only 38 anyway, it's possible to make-up away ten years (we said that, suddenly). Grint's twenty years now and supposed to play eighteen (in DH), so it's not that big of a deal. For Merlin's sake, I've seen an actor play the same character over a course of twenty years in the same movie and they still made it believable!

Back on track, watched the Poirot-episode with Lewis earlier and though he looked so familiar, but that's probably because he reminded me of Kevin McKidd.

Other than that, going to watch HBP tomorrow, so be prepared for a full review/bashing. I'll try being fair, but my opinion is biased, get used to it. Have heard they have slaughtered everything to do with the Weasleys and Grint is just a background-distraction while Watson have improved into an actress and not just a shrill voice and bouncy eyebrows. We'll see how it goes, but I can't see I recognise the characters in the movies as the ones in the book any more, it went way out of hand after the third.

So, ciao for now.

I am the queen of strange dreams

First I dreamt I was at the store, (which looked very little like the store that is where we were) with Hermione, who looked like a cross between Emma Watson and Bonnie Gruesen, and discussed wether or not Ron was hers or if he had proposed or something. Ron popped up after a while too, but he just looked like Ron, tall and thin. Then I woke up and fell asleep again, without that being important. 

Before I woke the last time I dreamt I was combing through a guy's long hair and the top-layer was kinda straw-coloured, but underneath that typical clearly dyed red-purple, like there was a while since it had been done. So I had to take his hair out of his ponytail and rearrange it so the red-purple was visible, while thinking I had to draw in the scars afterwards. Cuz it was of course Bill Weasley, you didn't think anything else?

Well, I think it's clear that I shouldn't sit up all night watching AVPM and discussing if the ending of HBP (which I haven't seen yet) sucked because there was no attack on Bill. Illogically enough he's going to have scars in DH, but none mentioning of where or why he got them. 

Have also heard all of Ron's lines and character have been sacrified to make a decent actress of Emma for the Hermione-Sue she's portraiting. But also that the Quidditch rock! :D

Long time, no see

Haven't happened much around here, but now I think I have some quotes and other randomness to share.

Me: *insert what I can't remember telling my step-father her*

He didn't hear it all.

E: She said *insert that same thing here*, I didn't say it. Except now I said it...

Yep, one of her cute spots again. And not only that, I concluded she was wife, child, sister and friend in one... Which would make me the husband, mother, sister and friend. First one is a little... Sorry, I don't have dick or balls. XD

Just look past the horrible outfit for a moment:

Where did her boobs go? They were hanging there a year ago! (or something like that.)

And it was after that drawing I discovered I could draw bodies. Naked bodies. Porn! X3 Yeah, pretty big cock, after her request, I figured with all the muscles he was compensating for something, but she pointed out that when we're first gonna have porn we might as well have good porn! And I agree!

And we don't remember what we said two minutes ago, so we aren't able to share it. But we will eat chocolate. Strawberry chocolate!

Got my MacBook back

After just a week, that's rather a shock. Not that it's much of a comfort, even if my hard-drive was saved the new Safari sucks dragon balls, so I had to go over to Opera, where I can actually use Youtube without everything going everywhere it isn't supposed to be. Other than that everything is fine. :D

And I am a lousy excuse for a Harry Potter-fan. I have not seen Half-Blood Prince yet, even if the premiere (with the Phelps-twins) was a mere 18 miles from here. I'd love to have been there.

I want a time-machine! I don't care if it's á la Jules Verne, a flying Delorean or a Time-Turner, I want to go back, smack myself in the head and nick some tickets to that freakin' premiere! 

*sigh*

Random update

My MacBook crashed, so I can't really update, just have to hog my step-father's ThinkPad every now and again to get by.

Just watched Little White Lie on Youtube, it's good! A mini-series which is something like Hanna Montana meets talent and plot. Recomend watching it, it have great music, good plot, great actors and is fitted together perfectly. Those peeps knows how to handle a camera and add a soundtrack!

Other than that, been pretty dead around here. Had fish and pasta for dinner her one day, which surprisingly was good.

Also discovered I could draw porn. Or, naked torsos at least, but it's much more fun to say porn. :D

Probably won't update in a while, so you have to find other ways to entertain yourself.

Strange dream

First I was on some sort of school-trip or something to a lake and there was this teacher/army-guy there, who I had sex with. Not complete sure how it happened, but when the sun set and the others were busy grilling or something not far from us he opened his fly and I straddled him.

Suddenly I'm in the middle of the North Pole or something with different people, one of them looking like a cross between the real Draco Malfoy and the one from A Very Potter Musical and we have to take cover in a submarine, but a crazy girl begs us not to do it, because it would be underwater and we could freeze to death.

Then the really strange comes, we found a frozen body, which was me, wearing only a pair of knickers, but I was still me. We concluded I had to be younger, since my tits were smaller and it was supposedly a former version of me, something alike a Ghost of Christmas Past (I don't have a better way of describing it).

Suddenly we are at my Granparents and it's winter and the dead body is at the neighbour-lawn (where I used to live). We tell someone about it and they start digging and exploring and whatnot around it. Then I think I woke up.

On a different note, The Sims 3 was great! Thinking about maybe buying it. As the geek I am, I made a Charlie and when he got angry he looked so cute!

Also planning on buying the book Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, it's a fantasy-thing with time-traveling, Scotland, redheads, kilts, war, romance and mostly takes place in the year 1743, it have to be good! Well, in my opinion it have to be, I'm a sucker for at least five of those things.

Covers and parodies

That guy is totally awesome! And that's an awful and overused joke, cuz he plays Harry in A Very Potter Musical! Go watch it, it's great, funny and pokes fun of (almost) everything in the Potterverse, a bit of Zac Efron and teenagers in general.

Got off track there a bit, but Darren Criss have a good voice and knows how to rock a guitar!

And it made me think of this:

:D

Back to the covers:

Unbelievable how he can get his voice that high. Look him up at Youtube here if you want to hear more! 

And you get some more right here:

Amazing song and he manages to sing it so good! I'm swooning just a little bit.

The Sims 3!

Can hardly wait to the day after tomorrow, cuz then I'm going to my cousin and she have The Sims 3! Been watching a bit of it on Youtube and it looks amazing. No, wait, make that 'mind-blowing amazing!'

The thing that occurred to me is how much is going on behind that game, how much work they have put into making it. Just watch this and you may get what I'm saying:

And that's just a tiny sneak-peek of what they have been doing! It's amazing how they have made it all work, even if they have the experience from making Sims 1 and 2. It also looks like they had a hell of fun!

When it comes to all they have to customise just when it comes to the clothes, it's amazing. (I seem to be saying that about everything, but it's true!)

Just ignore how horrible the outfit actually looks. For each thing given that colour or that pattern it had to be worked out a unique way of casting shadows and highlights, and how the fabric would flex. Even if that was done with a pre-written algorithm, I'm impressed, especially with the patterns!

Just imagine how many possibilities it gives us! :D

What am I?

Okay, I'm sitting here, thinking (yes, it do happen...) about Twilight and how incredibly bad Edward masked his vampirism, especially in the movie. When Bella touched his hand and remarked it was cold, he just looked bothered instead of coughing up some comment about how his hands always are cold, that's what I do when people as if I am freezing just because my fingers are turning blue.

Hey, maybe I'm a vampire, since my hands are so cold and my friend almost got shocked when she saw I had got somewhat of a tan. Hey, next time someone says I'm cold I'll just reply "vampires usually are." That'll make my day!

So I'm now proclaimed myself to be the lost Cullen, since my hair also is kinda coppery in colour from time to time and I could pass as Edward's twin. NO! Bella would be my sister-in-law! Hell, I don't want that. Beside, I do tan some and my eyes are grey-green or something, not red or amber. 

And I suddenly got freckles this year from the sun, I don't sparkle... Wait a minute! You know what I am? I'm not the long-lost Cullen, I'm the long-lost Weasley! Or maybe Prewett. I'm killing myself here... No, I'm just geeking out as usual.

The cats have been busy today, I think. First they came in with a big rat-like - luckily dead - creature and the youngest started playing possum-ball with it out on the veranda. Well, possum-ball is far from the right term, but it sounds funny!

Then, an hour or so later he came in with the tiniest, cutest little mouse I've seen in years, still alive and peeping. I took it from him and let it out again, but it fitted inside my hand, I could close my fingers around it!

... Just realised nothing interesting have happened. Go read another blog for 'interesting' or find a movie!  ,!,,

"The product remained unavailable in the United States until only recently (the U.S. is PepsiCo's native market, and the largest consumer of carbonated soft drinks), where one of its principal ingredients had not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The ingredient in question—acesulfame potassium—is combined with aspartame to provide the beverage's sweetness, whereas some other diet colas are sweetened by aspartame alone."

So, the shit I drink at least three liters of a week contains things just recently approved in the U.S? That's slightly frightening...

At the other hand, haven't killed me yet.

"The fact that Twilight sold millions of copies worldwide just means that people were screwing like bunnies ten years ago and don't know the meaning of 'condoms', 'birth control', and 'morning-after pills'."

Not mine, someone signature on dA, but it's true!

I just found out what the horrid smell in the kitchen is. I've checked the trash, the dishwasher, the empty juice-cartons, everything logical that could start smelling in the heat, with no luck.

Now I saw one of the cats had decided the corner was a nice place for a poop. Purrfect! It's mostly my own fault for locking them in at night, but I thought they would do their business outside before I closed the doors. Argh, just have to clean it up... Blah!

That's the nice way of saying it literary is a pain in the arse. Oh, Rupert, let me massage your sore balls... Uh, what? I didn't say anything!

2 cents for my thoughts

Well, those who say MJ's body moved when he was on the stretcher in the chopper, that's just an optical illusion of the light and shadow, he wouldn't make a mistake that big. But he still isn't dead.

The cutest, best, most amazing picture on the web! You have to see it! I fell a little in love with it... I mean, those clear eyes, freckles, all of it!
