| Andre Norton? a woman. fortunately for me, she hasn't come up in conversation in my immediate vicinity, otherwise i could've ended up like Tristan DuGrey, who thought PJ Harvey was a guy. if it weren't for io9 this morning, i would have remained in potentially embarrassing ignorance. and now i pause for a not at all relevant, but pretteh picture:  i wish i knew who that is, kissing Jang Keun Suk. she sort of looks like Kim Yunjin, whom i believe is a bit older than Keun Suk - not that it matters, it doesn't make the picture any less pretteh. also to self, figure out exactly where i found this picture in the first place. >_< - Mood:blah

| oh JK Rowling. you know what i like. and by "what i like" i mean James/Sirius action.
...OK so not really James/Sirius. but still. action. James & Sirius! HOOOYEAH!
and that Harry/Ginny pic that was released too!
it's almost enough to make a girl feel better about fuel prices, because i am seriously dismayed our entire civilization runs on a fuel that is going to totally run out on us and leave us in the lurch at some point and then it'll all be over, Tyler Durden style. or at least that's the way my brother said it's going to be. unless some genius finds a way to pressure-cook millions of years worth of plant/animal matter into oil or something. when i was little i used to like the smell of gasoline. maybe that was because i didn't realize then what a pain the stuff really is.
[e.t.a] it's cute that the Order of the Phoenix had t-shirts made.
[e.t.a II] i can't drive, so could someone please give me a for-dummies explanation of what "crashing one's gears" means? if that's even what she actually wrote. | |

| 27,
if i'd known you were going to preempt my Saturday afternoon Korean tv show marathon with a goddamn replay of American Idol's most recent season, i would've just gone to the office and done that cron job i should've done on Friday. thanks for nothing. - Mood:annoyed

| OK so i have my four(square) HP Magical Minis (that my brother & sister gave me for Christmas several years ago) on my desk below my computer monitor, and sometimes when i get home i notice they've been rearranged, probably when our housekeeper dusts. she often gets the arrangement wrong, and if you know me then you also know what the wrong arrangement is, right? so i'm thinking maybe our housekeeper 'ships the pairing i find so annoying i will not even deign to type it out on my lj. but then this morning, i noticed very belatedly that she'd rearranged them this way: Hermione + Ginny . . . Harry + Ron LOL i think i'll keep them that way for awhile. | |

| Hana Yori Dango on Saturday and Sunday afternoons!!! OMG how much do i love you right now, 27? a whole damn lot! that's how much. plus there's still Love Truly a.k.a I Really Really Like You and my new-ish favorite, Lovers in Prague which i like much much better than Lovers in Paris because, among other things, Ethan Allen was in Prague. so now i'm thinking about whether i really want to do a reread of Hana Yori Dango. because, 200+ chapters. but i love it. but 200+ chapters. and not short cute chapters like School Rumble either. argh, i should've made notes. also, i successfully used my brother's Xbox 360 to watch the dvd that came with Coldplay's X&Y, and the Sharon Cuneta dvd that came with my sister's tv. next time my brother's out, i'll probably use it to watch The Return of the King and skip right to the parts with Éowyn and/or Faramir. | |

| so it's 4 in the morning and i've been up since around midnight making notes about my favorite pages from a shoujo manga that i will not name because i'm somewhat embarrassed about liking it as much as i do. and in so doing i am neglecting important things i could be doing instead, like replying to emails and stuff like that. >_<

| Comment on this post and I'll give you a band or an artist. Don't worry, I'll try to make it one you know and love [hint, hint: go put some in your interests to make it really easy. or i'll look at your last.fm if i know it. i love looking at people's last.fm user pages]. You put your ten favorite songs by that band on your lj (with lyrics if possible!) and in reply to the comments, challenge others to do the same. ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) chickadilly, who's on a movie score kick, gave me Hans Zimmer. - the end credits from The Ring - i love Ringu movies, and i have it on a compilation cd
- "I See Dead People in Boats" from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
and speaking of pirates...
- "Boom Shakalaka" from Muppet Treasure Island - although to be totally honest, i didn't know he did the music for this movie 'til i saw it on his Musicbrainz page >_<
- turns out he also did the music for The House of the Spirits - saw it ages ago and it was depressing in parts, but on the whole i liked it. Jeremy Irons was hawt.
- "Trailblazing" from the international trailer for Pearl Harbor. which i didn't really like. i mean the movie of course. the music i had no problem with - it's probably the only part i'm sure i like.
- Black Hawk Down - once again, i tend to not like military movies and only watched it because my BFF was on her Josh Hartnett kick at the time, and i was concerned about whether or not ickle Orli Bloom would get killed in it. the music was OK.
- "Dear Clarice" from Hannibal - just because i played Clarice to Louie's Hannibal at the Christmas party. but he used a scene from Silence of the Lambs of course.
- "Desert Flower" from Prince of Egypt - Zipporah is my favorite thing about the Moses story.
- "Spider Pig" from The Simpsons Movie - it's so cute when the choir goes "look up! he's a Spider Pig"
and my favorite Hans Zimmer song is...
- "You're So Cool" from True Romance - but i actually never saw the movie all the way through, and fell in love with the song because it was also used on Young Americans. the steel drums make it completely adorable.
let me know if you're interested in any of the songs and i'll see what i can do for you. and OMG i've just realized (although really it was staring me in the face, right there on the family tree iamfez posted) George married Angelina (Fred's date to the Yule Ball) and they had a kid whom they named Fred! that's sorta Pearl Harbor. - Location:my room

| Dumbledore was gay, and while i don't have really strong feelings about that, i am rather pleased about the way in which JKR said so: by shooting down something in Steve Kloves' script. *cackles* so anyway, i should remember now not to be disconcerted at all by Michael Gambon calling everyone "darling" in The Life Aquatic, although Dumbledore really wasn't the sort of gay man who went around calling everyone "darling"

| had to gack it from h311ybean even though i'm sure the list will just look embarrassing after i'm through with it. These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users. As usual, bold what you have read, italicise what you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. Add an asterisk to those you've read more than once. Underline those on your to-read list. The numbers after each one are the number of LT users who used the tag of that book.
( 106 books ) it's not that i couldn't stand the books i struck through, i just had/have no desire to read them. except for The Mists of Avalon - that one i actually couldn't stand. my taste in books is rather particular, i'm afraid. - Mood:embarrassed

| you know what's not cool? "well," you say, "you're going to tell us, right?" what is not cool is maliciously tagging artists on last.fm — my belief in free speech notwithstanding, i got pissed off when i saw the last.fm tags for The Moaning Myrtles and The Parselmouths. i know next to nothing about either band apart from their collaborations with the Ministry of Magic (although i am subscribed to the Myrtles' blog) so it's entirely possible i might not like them if i met them personally (plus i don't like too many people, to begin with) but i saw a couple of tags that are immature and out of line, even hateful at worst. as h311ybean might say, what those tag clouds need is a nice big dose of positivity. the negativity is sorta killing my hopes for a stronger wizrock presence on last.fm because at least on evil myspace, artists can delete if people vandalize or something :( in news that's about me, my room has been rearranged. as well as cleaned. a little. | |

| ( my Hogwarts reputation )every result must be a total Mary Sue, but i love the part about Blaise & me in the library. it should be a fic. also the part about Oliver & me. also in the library. also, i wish people would stop saying "a tad bit" - either you pick "tad" or or you pick "bit" - do not use both. it does not make you seem more British if you do. - Mood:cranky

| does anyone know what the song in the Pond's White Beauty Detox tv ad is? i hope it's an actual song and not just audio of some guy singing na-na-na-na-na-na-na, because it's so very cute. and i usually sneer at whitening product ads just on principle, but when that one comes on it makes me smile! my principles are taking a beating here. i should go shower now with some totally non-whitening products. - Mood:contemplative

| please excuse me whilst i bask in the sexyliciousness of this picture of Alex Carpenter a.k.a The Remus Lupinsdoes anyone have it in a larger size?  [e.t.a]
when he passed by, Glenn thought this was a photo of D.Rad in Equus
*LOLZ*i'm not as big a fan of The Remus Lupins as i am of HatP and DatM but i've only been able to listen to like, two one of his songs. i do love the one about wishing he were a vampyre because it makes me LOLZ. [e.t.a that one was actually by Remus and the Lupins *toink!*] another wizard rock song title that makes me smile: "WON WON" by Panic! at the Ministry one pretty picture deserves another: ( 600x300 doesn't look as big as it used to, but i'll lj-cut anyway )i don't care that the NYT reviewer dissed Cashback, i was so stoked to see a picture of Sean in it. btw, did y'all see that pic of Librarything!Tim's lil redheaded Liam holding a Scabbers toy? completely made of cute & adorable! | |

| last week i can has had a dream in which i met  the Harry to my Wheezy. it was strange. we had the meetup in what looked like a sunny open field, and she & i had hug tiem. incidentally she brought a friend, but i didn't catch the other girl's name. i'm not even sure if we were introduced. like i said, it was strange. i should probably go back to sleep because i have to be at the bookstore at 7 a.m. to finally get the book of doom in my hot little hands. Lil Mama is on this "Umbrella/Cinderella" remix i d/l'ed from last.fm but i cut her out of the track title tag because her part sounds badly c&p'ed onto the track. otherwise, i like the song. even with the corny lyrics. i think maybe i'd like the song better if i didn't understand English. - Mood:weird

| tonight i was thinking about Maleficent/Jafar again after a long while, the result of listening to Tchaikovsky again (also after a long while). then when my sister came home and we were just standing around, out of the blue she said "Maleficent" — it turned out she'd been thinking about Disney characters too while she was out. - Location:mah room

| i wish Rupert and Emma had switched poses on the OotP IMAX poster. her boob profile in the foreground ruins the composition a bit for me. :P i like Ginny's placement though — above and to Harry's right, and in front of Cho. heheh. Neville is looking rather sharp. i wish Luna had gotten more space on the poster. can anyone tell me how to make the drive STOP RETRACTING MY CD?! seriously, that happens to me all the time — my CD drive has gotten really recalcitrant. it's so sneaky about it too. it slides out for a few seconds, then before i can lean over to snatch my CD from it, it slides back in. it usually takes me at least three or four pushes of the open/shut button to insert or retrieve a CD from it. - Mood:cranky
