HP6 and random ranting

I went to see Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince last night with a couple of friends. Just so that we didn't catch ourselves settle for the inconvenient time, I ran to the theater and bought the tickets ahead of time.

The show time was every 50 min, and still the seats were full. I mean, the only ones that aren't occupied would be the roles up front, who would wanna sit there, right.

Anyhow, I read the book, so I knew what was coming. It was a good movie, understandably short for the size of the book. I mean, they cut a lot off, which was to be expected.. what I can't stand was...

WHY WAS NARCISSA SO OLD!!!!

In the book she was supposed to be beautiful, if she didn't make the face as if she was smelling something unpleasant. So, why did they cast someone so old. Lucious wasn't that old. And I thought Narcissa was younger than Bellatrix!

I don't care, to me, Cissy is younger than Bella!!

God.. that was painful, good thing she only showed up for 2 scenes.

I'm learning how to face-up.. lots of practice, told myself.



I did one, I think I'm gonna try attaching the lashes before erase this face-up to do another. But not tonight. I'm spraying Chuck with UVcut. Almost done now though. Only 2 coats, or we'd be doing it all night.

Introduce Dillon and Charlotte



Also been playing Farm Town, Pet Society, Restaurant City on Facebook... man, was that addictive or what.

Well, better get back to the spraying, I still got to do the hot glue seuding of the joints as well.

I got a boxset last night, a Harry Potter boxset.

I wanted to order it, but I didn't I was waiting to see if I can get it here, and apparently I can, so I picked it up last night. I even dragged my mother with me, I don't think she realized how much it costs, but she had some idea of how much it probably would.

To give her credit, she said nothing of it.

Of course I didn't bring the car, I took the motorcycle, so she had to hold it while I rode back. It's rather heavy, well, with 7 books, hardcover, of course it's heavy. I liked it. A lot. Because I never did get the chance to get all of them in Hardcover, I only have the last 4 in hardcover.

So, here's what it looks like. :) The box looks pretty sturdy, although I'm not too fond of the robe on the side, they should've just made it into a catch or handle or something that's not a robe, a couple of pieces of hardware (like brass handle, or even plastic that made to look like one) would look much better. Oh well. I got it at 15% off. So, it wasn't that bad.

Now I'm gonna have to find a place to put it. I'm waiting for 4 boxcases to be finished and deliver at the house. I ordered them, so that they are in the dimension that I wanted, which is enough to put manga in or paperback novels without any wasted space. And glass doors, too, so I don't have to worry about kids getting their hands on them. Then I can transfer all the manga in my bedroom out to the cases and so I have more space.

I got Adaptation last night, still didn't get to watch it yet. But I will. Again Meryl Streep kick... *sigh* I'm planning on ordering Greta Garbo collection, I really liked Ninotchka. She was once voted by the Guinness Book of World Record as the most beautiful woman who ever lived. Anyhow, there's a boxset on Amazon.com so I might get that, otherwise I might just get Ninotchka.

While I'm at it, maybe Marlene Dietrich's movie, too.

Nah....

Listening : Strength [X OST]

I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollow this afternoon, just in time too, my neck was killing me.

Well, the people that I thought would die, did, and people that I thought would live did (for the most part anyway.)

I enjoyed the book, I wish we get to know what happened to the Malfoy (I mean beyond huddling together at the end of the book, at least we know that Narcissa and Lucius have hearts, and Snape did love someone... )

Love was his downfall, really.

I might go back and watch X/1999 again. :) Despite the fact that I haven't watch Eureka 7 yet. I should. And I only got about half way through Tsubasa Chronicle. Well, they released season 2 already, so I'm gonna have to go pick the next volume up (I do hope that it is out) And also the last volume of Mai Otome. I wish someone would release Marimite here already. Be it the light novel or the anime or manga. Something, after all, they did release the light novel in Germany (If I read the mail right)

Man, I'm tired... grrrrrr...

Watching : Criminal Minds

I got my desktop back, finally, this time it was rather quick, and the first thing I did was to install my anti-virus and update it. :) I learned my lesson.

Ok, so I tied up and wrapped most of my wires. (there's still some clutter, but it was better now, now what I need is a couple of corkboards. Also got my wireless keyboard and mouse earlier today, if the old keyboard didn't die on me, I wouldn't have bought this new one, but it's time I guess, and this will save me the clutter. It's Logitec Cordless Desktop Ex 110. Next thing I wanna do is a charging station, so I'll have to get some 3rd party usb charger for Ipod and another one entirely for my ipaq. What I'll need.

1. box (plastic, maybe I'll make one from cardboard paper, or get one of those photobox thing)
2. USB chargers.
3. The rest I can find around my own room. (knife, papers, etc.)

Then I wanna just make a monitor stand, so I have a place to shove the keyboard into when I need the space to write. My desk is rather small, so I need all the space I can get. I got the idea from lifehacker.com to use a shelve and 4 pvc pipes since I couldn't find the monitor stand to fit my need. (too wide) Well, gotta do what we gotta do, right.

At least I organized my cords.

Got Harry Potter and The Deadly Hollow on Saturday morning, and well, I got to page 23 and no more because I have to do the driving duty and my friend is visiting, so I didn't touch the book yet.

Watching : MAR

I went to see Harry Potter and The Order of the Pheonix last night. It was good, Helen B. Carter did a good Bellatrix in the mad department, she was downright scary man, it's the eyes thing. :)

I'd love to see more explanation in a lot of things, ok, so I've read the book, so I won't need it, but then the movie would be all the more complete if they do, I mean, a friend of mine that went with me haven't read the book yet, so she was a little confused. (like Tonks and Molly was related to Sirius and such.) No, I'm not gonna spoil the movie more than I already did above. :) I'm trying to be polite about that. (not that I think that someone might be reading, cause I don't think anyone's reading my blog. LOL)

I always thought that perhaps, Sirius's willingness to pull Harry into the loop was due to the fact that he saw him as James and not really realizing that Harry was Harry, (and the boy's hero complex can get annoying a lot of times) Anyhow, I still looking forward to the book, so I know how it all is going to end. And it's T - 9 days. :)

Watching : Criminal Mind

I went to see Transformer last night.

It was AWESOME!!

I loved it!! I was completely worth the money and time, and I get to see less of those movies lately. (well, I get to see less movie in the theater period.) Oh yeah, nice cars too!! The Camaro, man, if I wasn't so opposed to one of the person that I wanna erase from my whole history, then I would probably foam at the mouth from wanting. (no I'm not a big car person, but I do appreciate the beauty of machine) As it was, I'm pretty happy with the little JAZZ I have.

And the next one on my list if Harry Potter and The Order of the Pheonix. 3 days and counting. That and the book!!!! I can't wait for the book!!! Hopefully, we'll get to see more of Narcissa in the last book, and of course Bellatrix. (I love that name!! Bellatrix!!)

Anyway, Stardust looked good too. *sigh* I love summer, so much to see!

Last night I got what I've been looking for : 2 mp3.

I'm quite happy now, and also I got my Nintendo Wii last week. :)

I got me Legend of Zelda as well as Trauma : Second Opinion. I started playing on both ones, and well, didn't really get anywhere since I've been pretty busy. The control for Wii was interesting and surprisingly easy to adapt to. Next Friday I'll pick up the classic controller, and probably another set of the remote and nunchuk. We'll see, I'll get pay today (or rather mostly I pay myself) Maybe I'll pick up something else too.

I started reading Bellatrix/Narcissa fic (they call it blackcest) .. yeah, it's weird I know, considered they are sister, but some of the fic are surprisingly good. I seem to pick up weird new obsession every so often anyhow. I should get back to writing before I get too lazy. :)
