Time to blag!

Yes, I just came up with a new word combining "blog" and "brag", I'm such a genius!

Well, on to the topic: I'm going away on a lovely hospital stay for at least four weeks, jolly me, but two things lightens it a bit: I got An Echo in the Bone in the mail today, and got a "good luck" wish from James Phelps via Twitter. I feel a bit important now, hehe.

Charlie in the movies

They are apparently bothering to put him in Deathly Hallows after all and I must say the actor is growing on me, now that I've seen a better picture of him.

Cake!

Alternatively: I bought a cupcake for us to share, but you ate the whole damn thing!

Yes, "share" is not in someone's dictionary. Just as "eat up or the others will take all the cake" isn't in someone elses. But I did get cake today! That's what grandmothers are for! :D

Talking of, the strangest thing happened! My Grandmother have actually bought a spinning-bike now and have it in the room where I dreamt she had it! Freaky! But it did not play music and my admirer did not show up, which is good all the same, I'd get scared out of my skin if he had managed to track me down. On the other hand, he is Irish... Well, it wouldn't be the best of timings, with me being at my grandparents. Hm...

And it is apparently more flattering to be compared with Hagrid than your boyfriend's ex. Go figure...  XD

My ship is loaded with

Some of my friends had started a round with it on Facebook, and I had to join in a bit. The funny part is how much of the things reminded me of  Jamie Fraser...

I said Indians on purpose, because Jamie & co are meeting with some at the moment. (Where I am reading, at least.)

E said hunters, and that I should watch my Indians. Well... Jamie is a class A hunter and had just shot an elk, before falling down and putting his back out of joint. Very cleaver when it's snowing and no one knows where you are. Luckily Claire isn't the kind of woman to just sit and wait at home while he freezes to death.

A said cannons, which leads us directly to Voyager and the ships there.

E then said land crabs, something Jamie also is a class A example of, he goes green if he as much as sees a boat.

E said oil and A said paraffin, which leads me to think of turpentine and Jocasta MacKenzie's plantation.

E also said spaceships, which reminded me of Pigfarts, but that don't have anything to do with Jamie. XD

Yeah, I think that was all. Slightly obsessed about Jamie, maybe? Keep dreaming about him, but it's only the shortest of moments and I often see Claire or even Murtagh more clearly! That annoys me quite a bit... Anyway, because I'm sick now I managed to fall asleep and dream I was Claire (I remember the hair vividly) and we (me and Jamie, in case it should be any confusion here) ate potato salad. How random and nice.

Yoghurt mishaps and some other incidents

I managed to spill my yoghurt on the table today and was just about to get up to get napkins, but luckily (which is very hard to spell right now; kuckely, luckely, etc.) my "wife" had some in her purse. Somehow it made me feel like Frank Randall... I had to ask where she got them, cuz I remember her putting them in there some time ago and it turned out she had snatched them from the cafe last time we went there for lunch. At the time I didn't see why she would bother bringing them, but in hindsight I'm glad she did.

She was also very nice and spilled water down my jeans. Luckily (very funny word today) we were outside, so it didn't matter, but I didn't quite see the point. When I said this, she said she didn't know the bottle was open and when she put it between her legs and squeezed, she "came" all over me...

We talked about Outlander, which isn't anything new exactly, but she mixed Fred and Frank. Not funny to most people, but if you know George (as in Weasley) have been translated to Frank, it is. To me, at least.

Plus... Yeah, we discussed the prononoucing of "neither". She says "naither" while I say "neither" with clean E so to speak. My step-father was nice enough to inform us that is Cockney accent and I plainly went down the stairs shouting "I love cocks!" She voiced in with "me too! Your step-father didn't hear that."

Now we're about to watch Enchanted and soon eat I hope. :D

--

Okay, so I was wearing a rather old pair of jeans, with long tails of fabric worn off on the bottoms of the legs. A great trip wire, I discovered when I laid sprawled upstairs in the hall.

And time for a little game! Well, not so much a game as a device to pass time. (I should probably put some spoiler warning here; do not proceed if you don't want to know what happens in Outlander and coming books.)

I proudly presents: Failed ways to kill Jamie Fraser!

1. Hang him. Won't do you much good when Claire sweeps in with a horde of cattle to rescue him from the prison.

2. Break his arm and hope an infection festers in the wound. Again, Claire is there to save the day.

3. Shoot him in the head. He's too thick-sculled, that Scot!

4. Make him go berserk on a suicide-mission against the Redcoats. Well, in that case he'll just run like a madman 'til he's behind the English guns, then back again until some greater power sees it fitting for him to be cornered. Then, let the officer who plans on banging his head off recognise him and he'll be well on his way back to Lallybroch and Jenny Murray, a force stronger than nasty germs.

Anyone have more to add? 

Quotes

*Watching Hairspray*

Edna (AKA John Travolta): I know a little something 'bout men.

Me and E coruses: Yes, cuz you are one!

We act like sisters, no, twins, even though we aren't remotely related in any way. Plus, she enjoys pulling at her earrings sometimes and joked she would pull off her entire ear one of these days, whereas I had to ask if she would attend my funeral. When that funeral is depends on when she loses her ear.

-.-.-.-.-.-

Me: (something I can't remember)... Waps.

E: Waps?

Me: Yeah, waps.

E: Wasp, you mean.

Me: Yeah, I just said that... 

 Managed to put off the alarm. Bloody hell, got me worried I'd be joining Fred Weasley there for a moment... That thing is loud! Still sweating and my heart's making a run for it out of my chest.The peculiar phrasing is thanks to reading Twin Vice (fanfiction) where Fred is a ghost, so in other words, I almost got scared to death.

How I managed to put if off may be a little stupid, though, I was going to let the cat in and chanced on the alarm being off and just opened the door. First nothing happened, then after thirty seconds the most ungodly howling begins! I clamped my hands over my ears before getting what was going on and got it turned off, seeing two cats at least as frightened as me. Yup, both cats were already in, it had been no need for me to open the bloody door, let alone not make sure the alarm was off. Well, that's a mistake I won't make again...

Random randomness

I woke today with three names in my head: I know one of them was Joey Ritcher (not that strange, since I used last night on stalking him on the net) and I think the two others were Charlie Weasley and Voldemort. Random, I know... Or really not, it's all about HP (who should take his own advise now XD) and you know I'm a hopeless fangirl.

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

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*

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.

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."  

-- Wikipedia.

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!

"You're on a broom for a long time, like a few hours at a go," Grint grinned. "You're literally sitting on a broom and it gets a little bit sore down under a bit. It's been fun, but it's quite hard work." -- Harry Potter' Cast Reveal The Secrets Of Quidditch

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!

Smoke!

Yes, I am addicted! But it's only my third one today and it's over ten o'clock in the night, I pretend I deserve it. You see, I've come up with the idea of putting myself on a smoke-diet, so I'm only allowed to smoke five cigarettes a day. The problem is I actually used up today's smoke last night, sitting up, so I had one too much. I've never been disciplined. 

Went with my friend to swim (it's still hot here!) and rented a movie afterwards, the one with Dempsey. Only problem was the DVD was very scratched, which the player didn't handle (it is a couple of years old...) so we gave up and started watching P.S. I love you instead and got halfway through before I had to go to the bus. She called dibs on William, so I got Gerry, yes!

While we're talking about movies, I got Twilight! Yey! Maybe I'll watch it tonight, haven't decided yet, anyway we have to watch it once together.

We're still calling each other honey, it's almost getting scary... If you want to check out her blogg, here's the link!  At least look at the header, cuz I helped her make it.

My nights went and fucked themselves. I have to stop sleeping in the days! Yeah, yeah, I'll fix it, promise!

I think my grandmother got a bit of a shock when she came to our summer-house, where me and E was sleeping one night here, and it was an empty bottle of Baileys on the table... I said it was barely anything left and we had shared the last drops and it was a long time since I got it. Long time, let's define that; not even three weeks... I think most of it went the night MJ died.

Sorry to bring him up again, but they are going to show his body at Neverland and I have a solution to "if he's not dead, how do they have a body to show off?" Heard of wax dolls? It's not hard to get one made if you have the money and planned it a couple of months in advance! So there.

Now I have to empty the ashtray and check... A lot of things, even if I knew nothing have happened on the net the last six hours or so. XD

Just found something that's pretty priceless:
That face, whatever other crap it can pull, it sure knows what surprised looks like! Or 'wants to do blow-job', but that's just my pervy meaning. XD

Loads of stuff

Watching Angela's Ashes for probably the fifth time, because it wasn't anything better on and it is a good movie. Look, I'm typing while watching the movie, can't end well! XD

A week or so ago I understood what the comment there about tits being "great, floppy things with soft things at the end, like dogs' noses." I

 was in front of the mirror, topless and I was so warm my nipples did in fact resemble dogs' noses. That's in the category of things you really don't need to know, but do anyway.

And, Devon Murray plays young Malachy there and he's just so cute. Now, in the latest Harry Potter-movies he's still cute, but in a different way.

Went from this:

To this:

And in the end to this:
Not bad, any of them. :D

Turns our part of Half-Blood Prince is filmed in Norway, more precisely the train-scenes. Didn't get any snow in Scotland during the filming, so WB decided to move it to Gudbrandsdalen, wooo! Source.

Just participated in a quiz to win tickets to HPB, doubt I'll win, it's basically random pickings, the questions are just to make people think they have to know something to win.

Rumours about Michael Jackson flies high now, but he isn't confirmed to be dead yet, i.e. his body is still breathing/pumping blood around, by what we know at the time. When he do bite the dust, I'm having a drink! Sounds cold-hearted? To me Jackson have been dead since the eighties, he haven't been cool since Thriller was fresh in the shops and lately have looked... Well, I suspect my father to look better. *Shudder* If it turns out to be a fraud the whole thing, I won't be shocked.

On a completely other, random note, I dreamt it was December 6th (the day my father died) and I didn't notice until the evening. Or it may actually have happened and I just recalled it. Doesn't matter, I can talk (or in this case, write) about it, which means I'm moving on a bit. 

And now, some music!

I just fell in love with that song!

Post #163

Don't really have anything to write about, but you'll get some nits and bits.

- Met a cute guy, two years younger than me, but could easily pass as older. Had more bling in his ears than me. Probably won't see him again, unless I decide to go all stalkerish...

- Slept over a night at our summer-house, but had trouble actually falling asleep as I desperately needed to write something down and didn't have my mac with me. Got up, found pen and paper and discovered my hand-writing isn't as bad as I thought, not that it's good anyway.

- Can't think of anything else, except a small quote:

*Watching Top Model*

TV: ... Spunk and spirit...

E: What did she just say?

Me: Spunk and spirit and I just spat!

Yeah, pretty lame, and I'm not even sure it was spirit or something else, but... Well, I updated!

Nothing's going on around the net it seems like... Silly me want The-Starhorse to update, but that's not going to happen, cuz unlike me she probably have a life... A less suckier one, at least.

Well, my life doesn't suck so much now, it's summer and warm weather, so I'm not really complaining. :D

Severus Snape to the Weasley-twins: “That’s what trousers are for. To keep your bum warm while you sit on the floor.”

XD Honestly! Hilarious! Found in the short fic Breakdown.

The Bailey's survived!

Our night was great, except we had a small fight. Someone had PMS and wouldn't let someone else talk with her ex-boyfriend alone. We made up in the end, so everything's fine again now, but I'm warning you, don't get in her way when she have her period, she snaps totally!

Other than that, we're 'twinning' more and more, people will probably soon start wondering if we do some telepathy-stuff or something.

Example:

F: What's up?

Me and E in complete unison: Nothin'.

It's almost creepy and I keep entertaining myself by checking if we still have our ears. Want an explanation to that? 

Bomb, it have to do with Harry Potter! *Loud groan from the readers* Shut up! Anyway, the Weasley-twins have a habit of finishing each others sentences and saying things in unison, and George looses an ear, right? So, in my twisted mind we are like the Weasley-twins, just that we have all our ears and we're both alive. Yeah, yeah, dorky...

And yes, we didn't finish the bottle, we just took a gulp every now and then, straight from the bottle, cuz we were too lazy to get glasses.

Listening to Roxette now, great music, go check it out!

Several times now I've had the urge to say "kiss my Irish arse!" I don't have an Irish arse! I don't even have Irish whiskey. I got Bailey's, but "kiss my Irish cream!" hardly sounds impressive. At any rate I still have an arse. XD
