Gimme, Gimme, Gimme Good Karma

Movies watched this weekend: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Very funny, but the last 15 to 20 minutes dragged a bit. The Machinist - Wonderfully dark, but still lacking something essential to become one of my favorites. I didn't particularly like the music and the plot twists were somewhat predictable. I had the post-it figured out at the get-go. Plus, surely Fight Club has prepared viewers for this sort of storyline. Spinal Tap - I had never seen it before and Jason wanted me to watch it. It was good...very funny at parts. I'm not jumping up and down over it. Though, I did love the line from the critic about their music being "retarded sexuality and bad poetry". Perfect. I'd like to apply that to nearly everything that is spouted from the radio.

I'm in much better spirits after yesterday's brilliant coping strategy. So it cost me 70 bucks for some piece of mind and the prevention of some freak-out session? Who cares, right? As long as I have my mental health and enough money to cover the rent.

I'm going to admit to being confused here. For those who read this and detest Harry Potter-related jabber, you better skip the rest of the entry and berate me in the comments. Go on now...off you go. As for the rest of you, a discussion emerged on a mailing list I've been lurking about on. When asked about Snape possibily falling in love in future novels, JKR said, "Who on earth would want Snape in love with them? That's a very horrible idea." :-/ Come on, now... He's the classic tortured-soul-loner-bad-boy-with-a-sense-of-honor. She can't possibly be clueless as to his appeal. I'm not even counting those who find him attractive because they wish to submit to his...commanding personality. I can't help but think it was said in jest.

Chanting for AP girl moving along. "Move along AP girl. The mountain calls.........." (repeat as needed.) Perhaps a box beat might help?

JKR obviously doesn't understand her own characters....or maybe she's just not properly impressed with the hotness of Alan Rickman...speaking of AR have you seen Robin Hood? I hate Kevin Costner but Alan Rickman is superb as the very evil Sheriff and damn but he looks good in those tights. I just fast forward past Kevin.

*starts chant to purge office of AP girl*

Fly away, AP girl
to some other world
Fly afar, AP chick
may they beat you with a, er, flogging device of some sort....

Ah HA! So this is where you've been. Snape/Hermi instead of A/E! I so agree about Snape and the whole love interest thing: and I think JK said that in jest, or maybe in the least not directed at her adult readers. She can't be THAT blind.

Yes, I've been on a Snape/Hermi binge lately. Downloading and reading them like mad because I lust after him and I'm fancy myself as Hermione. ;-) I didn't know you had an LJ! ::runs off to add::

Yeah, I'm just learning how to use my LJ. I try to post more than once a week but sometimes that doesn't happen: I mostly post updates about which fic I'm working on and the like. How do I add friends? (I'm clueless) I'll add you!

Yeah I feel a connection with Hermi as well. But it's one of the VERY few fandoms were I don't lean against-the-grain as far as 'ships (like i love to do). I love the canon ships R/H and H/G - thats prob why I don't feel a need to write fic for HP. But I've read some Snape/H stuff in the past and found some of it wonderfully and wildly done. Scary, but great.
