Dear Harry Potter & Co.,

HOLY SHIT.

All my love,
Me.

I have so much to say. SO MUCH TO SAY. I'm going to go see it again tomorrow because it was THAT GOOD.

Overall, as a movie, IT KICKED ASS. It was amazing, mindblowing, a rollercoaster ride that had me locked in from start to finish. That doesn't mean I don't have my nitpicks, so those are behind the cut as well, but I. LOVED. THIS. MOVIE.

Now that's said! Welcome to the Department of Mysteries! (Warning: Quite long!) )

In conclusion, I love this movie. It makes 1, 2, and 4 look like crappy TV movies, and I would say it elbows out PoA as best movie of the series. PoA was actually incredible for some very different reasons, and I love them both, but as a MOVIE, OotP just wins. God. WOW.

Definitely must see again tomorrow.

*flailyhands* \o/!!

I love the title of this song. OH PETE WENTZ. ♥

Approx. 6 hours until I can escape from work. Less if what I'm doing works out time-wise and my professor agrees to let me go early because I was here so late yesterday.

Approx. 6.25 hours (or less - see above) until I am home and can begin Dinner and Chilling With Roomie.

10.25 hours until ORDER OF THE PHOENIX!!!!!!!!!

I am so giddy and excited you guys, I CAN'T EVEN BRAIN. I even wore my Hermione shirt today. And my professor complimented me on it! THIS AMUSES ME LOTS.

*vibrates*

BWEE! George Clooney is ALSO one of AU John Sheppard's clients! AWESOME \o/ AND, like the true gentleman he is, he's always on time! ♥

So what if I'm easily pleased! *g* (Also, any excuse to use this icon!)

The reviews for the OOTP midnight showing are rolling in on my flist, and it looks like mostly great news! This is exciting! I am now debating if I want to see it Thursday (with roommate and company) on a normal theater AND on Friday in IMAX. Worth it, Y/N? *ponders* I kind of feel like it will be nice to know how the movie goes so I can truly appreciate it on the ginormous screen, because I feel like that might be overwhelming. Then again, I kind of want to be alone my first time through because I think my emotional response is going to be *very* strong, and that could be embarrassing with strangers, which is what part of the group my roommate is going with is comprised of. Hmmmmm. Thoughts?

Here at work, one reaction is going well, the other is going like shit! That's life! *hands*

Well this blows!

I bought my ticket for OOTP because I saw the other times were selling out, then I told my friends to do the same, and when they tried a few hours later.... our time was sold out.

GREAT. So now I'm the only one in our group with a ticket, which cost 14 freaking dollars, to a movie that's 45 minutes away. I highly doubt they'll give me a refund. If they will, great, then I'll just go on Thursday to see it on a normal screen and maybe go to it on IMAX in a couple weeks or something, because I still think that would be awesome. But if they won't refund me I'm seriously considering going by myself. Is that lame? That's really lame. But um. HARRY POTTER. On a screen as big as a HOUSE.

So uh. Yeah. *FACEPALM*

Minor disaster at work today - know that pretty pretty product I was talking about? Well I had about a third of it in a round bottom flask... and I dropped it on the bench. It shattered, pretty pretty product went all over dirty dirty bench :( Luckily a large portion of it actually landed on the label wrapped around the cable for the hotplate sitting there, so that part of it was easily collected back. I lost about 60 mg out of 100. It wasn't a huge tragedy, especially since I still have a large portion of the product in another vessel, but it gave me that nauseous feeling of being a complete fuck up and hating it. Anyone know the sensation? Heh. My stomach didn't settle down all afternoon, though I now realize that's also partially because I just started my period, LOVELY.

Thought for the day: There's something wrong with a country where people getting gunned down and knifed and what have you is status quo in the media, both fictional and non, but an accidental boob shot is cause for a national uproar and anything sexual beyond kissing calls for covering the kids' eyes. Objectively, violence is terrible and wrong and should never happen, while sex is beautiful and natural and necessary, but we seem to have turned that on its head. Sigh.

Just bought my ticket to Order of the Phoenix on Friday in IMAX! So excited!!! I watched my first full scene from the movie on Youtube last night, and it's Harry's reunion with Hermione and Ron after the summer, and it's lifted directly from the book and it's one of my favorite scenes and I'm practically SPLITTING with joy!!! Eeeee! This movie better make my life, because I'm not particularly looking forward to Half Blood Prince!

I have no idea what I want to do for dinner. Hrm. Anyway!

I'm currently watching SGA 3x07 Common Ground, in which Rodney is desperately worried about his boyfriend, Kolya makes me want to do dirty things to him, the whole team is fabulous and hardcore, and there's a Wraith with an actual personality. I forgot how much I liked this one!

McSheppers on my flist! Go read this ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE ficlet written for me by [livejournal.com profile] 1ightning - she's seen about one episode of SGA and she already has the boys' voices down! It's hilarious and fantastic and sweet and LOVE. (There's also two Wincest ficlets there that are also super sweet, if you feel like checking those out too :))

I can't seem to force myself to go to bed without some kind of closure. It's weird, I know, but it's all part of my own sleep-depriving procrastination tactics. Sometimes it's watching that moment I'm obsessing over one more time; sometimes it's reading the perfect little ficlet that will send me to bed smiling; sometimes it's wrapping up a fun conversation with a friend. None of those seem to be working tonight, so I'm going to make a post!

I watched Ocean's 11 about two and a half times today. Once straight, once with commentary, and then again to make caps of Danny and Rusty, and also just to rewatch some of their glorious scenes from the beginning. That poker scene, with the TV star kids? Oh my god. PERFECTION!

Then tonight I watched most of Fight Club. Want to know something funny? The Playstation that functions as a DVD player in our living room wouldn't play Fight Club because of the parental settings on the system! LOL. It played Flags of our Fathers (a horrifying and perfectly done movie, by the way) but not Fight Club. How silly.

But anyway, I just. BRAD! *flails a little bit* There's nothing that can be said about Fight Club that hasn't already been said 80 billion times, but there are just so many perfect lines, perfect moments, and watching when you know the twist is actually really cool, because you pay attention to all the subtle clues leading up to it. What an awesome, awesome movie. And did I mention - BRAD! *bites knuckles*

I'm thinking about going to see OotP in IMAX when it comes out! It's playing 45 minutes away, which really isn't that bad, and it's 11 bucks, which is only 2 dollars more than the normal theater - and for OOTP, totally worth it. I watched some TV spots for the movie last night that I'd missed, and OH MY GOD. I can't WAAAAIT. Remus!!!!! He's looking so gorgeous, and his voice, his weary gravelly voice... meep. Moony!! And Sirius!!! Oh my puppies. This movie is gonna make me flail for joy and then KILL ME. I can't wait :D

I really, really love the name Danny. And not just because of Danny Ocean :P I'm thinking I'm pretty much set on naming a future son of mine Daniel, after my father's father, and we will definitely be calling him Danny. Aw. Yay :) I love the name because it's very cute for a young boy, but it can also work well for a respectable man, if he has the right self-confidence and comfort in himself. You know? I don't know what I'm rambling about. I just love it.

Ummmm. I went shopping with Fei today, it was fun :) I was very restrained and only bought a pair of jean capris and a pretty brown shirt to go with my gorgeous flowery skirt. She got everything she needed to (bathing suit, flats, jean skirt) and so all in all it was a very successful morning at the mall. Yay!

I updated my sidebar, to make it more current. Removed and added some icons, and in the interests section I took out a couple of old ones and inserted Danny and Rusty, the Taylors (FNL), John and Aeryn, and made a new one for Rodney and John. Pretty people, whee!

Okay. That's enough of my ramblings. Off I go to bed, a half hour later than I intended! Pretty damn good! \o/

Here, have a dash of Danny n Rusty. Pretty, ain't they? ♥ Look at how they're looking at each other! This, my friends, is why the poker scene is my favorite.

Eyefuckery ahoy! )

Night night!

There's a new international trailer for OOTP up at YouTube (really crappy quality, and I don't have the link right now, sorry) and it does look awesome, and I'm really excited for this movie. But I'm a little nervous about starting to get more involved in HP again (mostly via my flist, which will start to return to the Potter love at least somewhat as the movie and book approach) because I always feel rather persecuted for happening to find Harry and Hermione the most adorable twosome ever ever. I just love them to teeny bits and... only in this fandom would that be a crime :-/ I mean, the movies tend to favor them, so the movies give me great giddy glee, but the result is resentment from everyone else. Which makes me sad.

Moving on!

It's Saturday! \o/ I've just rolled my lazy ass vertical and am gonna try to get some studying done before work. It's GORGEOUS outside, which is not fair, cause - orgo exam! *shakes fist* And it is also Spring Arts weekend, so there's gonna be like 8 bands playing over the course of the day out on the green. Yeahhhh I don't see much studying getting done *laughs* Ah well. SPRING IS FINALLY HERE YAY!
