black hawk down

I feel so drained. I just finished watching Black Hawk Down (thanks again Rob!) and wow… there really are no words. It’s just such a powerful and emotional tribute. But Amy’s right — I could not keep the characters straight for the life of me. I kept getting everyone all confused.

And hmm… I also downloaded the 2 minute Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets trailer from The Leaky Cauldron. Wow — it definitely looks like a much more mature movie what with all the Dan action. 😛

CoS teasers

I finally saw the teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets — I love that I get to see lots of Dan everywhere again. 😛 One thing I noticed after viewing the 34-second trailer numerous times (lol) is that Rupert Grint (the boy who plays Ron) looks much older than he did in the first movie. I wonder how many of the movies the original cast is signed for — 3? Cause at this rate, the actors are all going to look so much older than the character they play. There are also some very cool CoS preview pics at The Leaky Cauldron — I don’t think that they’re spoilery but proceed with caution. 😉

harry potter mania

Aww, thanks for all the great compliments on the new layout — I’m glad everyone likes it. 🙂 The HP kids are just so darn cute. I can’t wait for the second movie — only 5 months to go! lol.

Oh! I picked up the new Avril Lavigne CD today — it’s amazing. It’s a must-listen. 😉

not in the mood

Gah. I’ve been playing with PSP all night trying to make a few wallpapers of some of the great P/Jo moments in Season 3. But once I get the screen caps to be semi-decent, I can’t freaking blend all the pictures together so they look like a collage. 🙁 They just look like a bunch of pictures stuck together. I just don’t have the talent. Waah. Must practice until I want to kick PSP cause you know, that’ll make it do exactly what I want.

Plus, when I was surfing the net for DC screen caps, the only place that has any is Katie Holmes Pictures and of course, the caps consist mostly of Katie. I need caps of the rest of the cast too, especially Pacey — I mean, it’s really hard to make a P/Jo wallpaper when all the pics are of Joey and the back of Pacey’s head! Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person in the DC fandom. I mean, if you look at the FanArt board on Fan Forum, the Roswell, BtVS and Smallville threads are thriving with a good number of fan artists posting. But the DC threads are completely lifeless. ::sigh:: It’s kinda sad cause I so *heart* DC (well, as long as I can pretend Coda and S5 didn’t exist). It almost makes me want to learn how to make screen caps so I can feed my own need for pics. *Almost.* But not quite. I just don’t have the time.

Anyway, I was watching Harry Potter earlier and I just love Hermione — “I’m going to bed before either of you come up with another brilliant plan to get us killed, or worse, expelled.” Oh! And I love this line too — “It’s Wingardium LeviOOOsa not LeviosAAA.” Hee. Spunky that one. Hmm, I also got my *N Sync Pop Odyssey Tour DVD (yes, I am a fan) in the mail today (thanks Amazon!) — I must go see if I can steal the TV. 🙂

Special shout out to Down South Rob and Sebastian (only $152 per cheek! I’ll take it!) — My Rob got you guys some Star Wars toys. 🙂

movie overload

I got lots of cool stuff from Amazon today. 😀 I got my Harry Potter DVD, a little R2D2 figurine and Rob got the Star Wars trilogy. What fun! I’m going to be permanently glued to the sofa. 😛 But seriously, that’s all I ever do nowadays. Get home, check email, and deposit myself in front of my computer or in front of the TV with remote control in hand. It’s sad really.

And now that I’ve wallowed in enough self-pity these past few days to last a lifetime, let me just say that Daniel Radcliffe — the boy who plays Harry Potter — is SO adorable. hee! I’m 22 and I have a crush on a 12-year old. 😛 I was watching some of the interviews with the director and producer on the special features part of the HP DVD — they showed a scene where Dan, Emma and Rupert (the three main actors in the movie) are about to shoot a scene where they run into a classroom and all of a sudden, Dan pretends to choke Emma and she’s making this really adorable “Ahh!” face. ::sigh:: I want to take them home with me.

Which reminds me that I have this really weird (well, my boyfriend thinks so) list of celebrities whose cheeks I want to pinch if I ever had the chance. heh. Yeah, I’m nutty but you all love me. 😉 I might as well share it with you all:

1. R2D2 – yes, I know he’s round and doesn’t have cheeks but I could settle for a hug
2. Shaquille O’Neal – because of him, I actually went to Burger King and bought one of those gross Shaq Packs
3. Dan Radcliffe – see Nicola’s scans page for more reasons why I think he’s completely adorable
4. my friend Sebastian. heh.

That’s all for now. Yes, I’m a huge dork and yes, I know. But I’m going to blame it on all the sugar I had from the ice cream cone I just ate. 😀
