Stupid commercials. Stupid commercials and their catchy songs. Where do they even find all these songs? Is there some kind of song bank that just outputs all these highly addictive tunes? It's annoying. It gives me a headache. And look, it even makes me whine.
Bacardi can go to hell.
For example, when I say "I don't care," is that actually what other people hear? Because every time I say it to my mom she automatically thinks that's my way of saying "Yes, please, mom, please tell me about whatever it is you're talking about because I obviously care and would like to hear EVERY. FUCKING. DETAIL."
Yes, I'm a bit "perturbed" at the moment. Hah. I've never used that word before. Nice.
I've been writing recently, mostly for procrastinating about my future (but really, is that anything new?) as I've been putting off registering for school. Again. Shit happens every semester. Not a good thing considering the school loans I've got.
But writing has definitely proven to be a good distraction, or maybe a new hobby? I'm thinking of digging out that book list I wrote up a year ago and checking out some of the titles at the local B&N. I have no idea if there's a community library, but even if there was I'm too much of a wuss to actually apply for a library card. That would actually mean having to associate with people and I don't associate.
Twitter is getting annoyingly huge, isn't it? I've been using it too, but only because I'm either twittering (god, I hate that verb) or writing. I think people should start calling all their followers "tweebs." It probably sounds better than whatever-the-fuck they're currently being called. "Twitterers?" That sounds dumb. "Tweebs" is so much cooler, plus if the people who are your mutual followers are actually somewhat cool, then it can be an endearing term, much like how I use "idiot" to refer to certain friends of mine every so often. Yes. Endearing.
But I got a puppy for my birthday. Yes, I am fully aware that my birthday isn't til September (same day as Tom Felton's, mwahahaha), but my brother got her for me. I don't know what I'm going to name her still. I have until Friday to think of a suitable name, but I'm running on blanks here.
Cute, though, isn't she? :D
I've been listening to Epik High's new album, Remixing the Human Soul, although it is just a remix of their older songs (if you couldn't get that from the title of the album). I guess that disappointed me a little, but they did re-record some of the vocals and there are a few tracks that I keep listening to on repeat :)
3 years in the making and I finally, finally reached 100,000 songs on Last.fm.
Gosh. That didn't take long at all /sarcasm
So, I bought my first MP3 download last night because my pirating skills failed me (and I'm usually pretty well off too).
Anyway, I got Fariborz Lachini's Golden Autumn 3 album off Amazon. Thank goodness his site had previews of the actual songs, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to buy. The songs are really beautiful too, mind you it's all played on the piano. But that's my favorite thing about it. I'm not one for adding on extra instruments or effects unless it's another string instrument like the violin or cello.
The style of the music is really soothing. Luckily all the songs sound similar enough for me to like the entire album :)
Okay. So. My opinion is obviously biased, but I liked the movie, er... for the most part, but that may be because I'm extremely easy to please. Just throw in a hot guy and I'm set. And, in this movie, Tom Felton was pretty much the only reason why I enjoyed it so much, along with some of the more humorous bits. I thought this movie would be dark, but it's not. They touch on everything so lightly, you'd have to read the book to get the full dramatic effect. It's a shame, really, since it should be the other way around.
I was also disappointed at how much romance was in the film, though I do remember certain parts in the book centering around the Lavender/Ron/Hermoine love triangle. The girl who played Lavender was hilarious, crazy, and a little bit creepy, but she played her role well and I'd be lying if I said I didn't find her stalker abilities amusing.
I wasn't too fond of the lack of Draco Malfoy. I mean, he had his scenes, but I suppose I was just expecting them to emphasize on him and Snape more. I don't know. I'm difficult to please when it comes to my favorites, and Malfoy is obviously my favorite (that stupid, sexy blonde and his stupid long legs). The movie, as obvious as it is to everyone that people actually do age, really surprised me when I saw how much older everyone had gotten. Still, it seems everyone had a growth spurt except for Daniel Radcliffe, which was a bit funny when Potter and Ginny kissed since the young Weasley was the same height as him. It certainly did make me snicker.
I was hoping there'd be more of an obsession from Harry towards Draco, only because the book seemed to really suggest that Harry was going a bit overboard with how close of a tab he was keeping on the Malfoy heir, but it was just another thing to add to the list of disappointments.
I did like the young Voldemort scenes. Even though I couldn't help but notice that the Voldemort from the 2nd movie(?), The Chamber of Secrets, had brown eyes, and the new Voldemorts have blue ones. Or whatever color they were. They obviously weren't brown. For some reason I was more scared of the young Voldemorts than the actual, adult one, which is kind of funny when you think about it.
They left out a bit out of the book from what I remember. Hell, they may have even left out more if I actually did remember what it was that I read. It seems to me that, although this was an enjoyable movie to watch, they made the movie for just that: Entertainment. I know books are meant to be entertaining as well, but they at least tell a story. This film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, seemed more focused on reeling in laughs from the audience and younger teens than following with the storyline of the book and showing the darker side to Harry Potter's world.
Overall rating: 7/10
And most of that is thanks to Tom Felton's sexy, long legs. Oh, and the cool, shiny effects in the film because they are shiny.
Yes. I got addicted. And it's not fair because it makes me regret my actual age.
Even though the villains still kind of... um... fail. But now that we've put that aside, let's get into the more "serious" aspects of the show...
He is fail, but still awesome.
"Out. For. A. Walk... Bitch."
