So I have purchased the very last of the Harry Potter novels at the Friday opening party in Orangeville (yes, Orangeville. There's an actual city there). Got home, and read the whole damn thing in 2 sittings.
Damn.
I cannot believe it's actually over. I liked it, in that she tied up all the loose ends (or at least the most glaringly obvious ones) and had a good character development. Except for the thing. At the very end. The epilogue thing. And anyone who's read it will agree that it was a totally pointless cop out.
Went home to TO and headed off to the live theatre version of Evil Dead. Complete with zombie tangos, chainsaws, bad one-liners and about a metric tonne of blood.
It was AWESOME!!!!
I really want to go back and see it again.....
In other news, Kitten got his balls lopped off last week, he is currently looking at me as if I am responsible for all the worlds woes and sorrows. Do you think cats are born with the ability to guilt trip? See, look:
Poor kitten has to wear the cone for another week and a half before he can be freed to not walk into the walls and get stuck on things every 20 minutes. God animals are dumb.
Now to ignore the pitiful animal whilst I read a book about exploding sheep.
So the weekend was interesting. Got to my brothers house on Fri when my phone rang, it was the roomie. Calling to inform me that my cat was an idiot and had somehow ripped open his own paw. The little twit is OK, but he keeps gnawing on his own leg in frustrations as it is all bandaged up and silly looking.
Got my hair cut, it is now all cool looking and less floofy. I love Grace (the woman who does my hair) for she is a goddess. Picutres of new cut if I ever get up off my ass and do it. So pretty much never.
The roomate is gone now, off to the East Coast for the next 2 weeks. So people: Visit me. For the love of god. I'm bored and lonely. Oh, and for Tiff Doug Jones Blog
So, went to see Harry Potter last night with Tiff and a few of her girls. Was OK, not the best movie I've ever seen (like Tiff was saying) but it was good. They cut ALOT of things in the edit, which I can understand, seeing as it was the biggest book in the series, but lets hope that none of the stuff they cut becomes important later....
Went back to Tiffs, where she plied me with food and, strangely enough, the published work of a fanfic author I rather like(legitimately, through a publishing company and everything).
Drove home, almost hit a deer and a cat, so pretty typical for me. Seriously, my car has a homing beacon for animals or something.
This weekend is the combined hair-cut/dye, sort out designs for the cosplay and sort out final course schedule for next year. Fun.
Oh, and to those going to NY with me for the Faire, the 2 weekends I think we are all availible is August 3rd or the August 10th weekend. So we need to pick one and stop procrastinating. And yes I include myself in the we, I am the most inept person at planning these things EVER.
Nothing really going on. Am so damn broke at the moment I feel like crying. I have a grand total of $2.70 in my bank account. Whee. On the other hand, Harry Potter comes out tomorrow and it looks excellent. (please don't suck, I need a good distraction!!)
