Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince...in 15 minutes

I know this movie's been out for a few weeks now (and I know I've an AFO post that is past due...it will come). I like Harry Potter a lot, so I was super excited, even though I did have a few reservations about it. I mean, I really liked Order of the Phoenix...the book. I knew something was gonna be wrong when I saw promotional stuff where Harry had less hair when his hair is TOTALLY messy and unruly (hello?!). Then I saw the movie and was a bit disappointed-especially the showdown at the Ministry of Magic and when Sirius died! (Silence?! Wtf, are you kidding me?! And what was that 'falling through the curtain' junk?!?) But I digress. Anyway, David Yates did that one and he did this one as well. Needless to say...I was once again DISAPPOINTED, probably worse than before. Maybe it'll grow on me like OOtP did (eventually).
Anyway, I was going along, lamenting the atrocity, when one of my other HP friends put Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in 15 minutes in my life! OMG so freaking hilarious! This is HBP done justice and given its due! I wish they could remake the movie right now and use that as the script. Or maybe a skecth group can use this for an abridged version. SOMEBODY please do SOMETHING with it lol! This came from the Movies in Fifteen Minutes community on livejournal. The chick who posted this asked peeps not to copy it so...read it and enjoy, and check out some of the other stuff if you'd like?

I've a bunch of favorite parts, but my favorite-the 'Draco Malfoy, Bringing Sexy Back Since: Now' section! I'm not even really a huge Draco Malfoy fan, but I gotta admit that everything there is true and its enough to make me take a second look at that GQMF (best comment on that post!)


Thumbs up bitches!

Favorite Piece of the Internet: Crank Dat Harry Potter

I will warn you now, I can be fickle about my favorite piece of the internet. I can be easily amused and amazed sometimes so who knows how soon it will or won't change. Now I present to you my current favorite piece *flourish*-Crank Dat Harry Potter

This was too, too funny to me! I like corny stuff like this. Two geektastics present Harry Potter meets Soulja Boy! My cousin told me about this yesterday, and even though I was getting ready to go to sleep for work I was gonna get out of bed for this yo. I watched it like 5 times and cracked up laughing! If they played this in the club I'd totally dance and go more often-it'd make things more interesting lol

Thumbs up bitches!


Sam Raimi's directing World of Warcraft Movie!!

I know I'm like a day or two late but...freakin Sam Raimi is directing the World of Warcraft movie! I knew there were talks about it but hadn't been up on my WoW movie tip. Then I see this today whilst scoopin around on the internets! I'm excited for various reasons.



1) Its freakin Sam Raimi. Had I seen this and not gone to Supercon last month this would not be as significant. But I did! Ted Raimi was there (and so was Bruce Campbell; also lucky for me-my friend that I went with has seen a lot of zombie movies). I'm a total geek in the learning sense so I took in a lot while I was there. Needless to say I learned that Ted & Sam were brothers. So now I find myself tuning in a bit more when either Raimi bro is mentioned. Aside from that though, Spiderman's one of my favorite superheroes and I loved the first Spiderman movie especially(and soundtrack), though I do need to get around to watching the other 2-especially since 4 is being worked on.
2) Its World of freakin Warcraft! I played for like 2 seconds about 2 years ago-its hard when you have to fight your bro and his friends and a busy work schedule. Oh and when your bro keeps doin shite to get his account banned. I do see why its so popular that its taking over everybody in the world and they mama. Its an amazing and fun game and it has such a great story and history (Yes, I read the history stuff in the strategy guide. And?!).

That was a lot of reasons lol

Anyway, at least Sam Raimi is a great director. I trust that he won't mess it up and that Blizzard made a smart move. I'm not a huge gamer or watcher of video game movies but, I like to know things. I know enough to be grateful that its not Uwe Boll, I (unfortunately) saw BloodRayne. I can't wait to see more developments on this and for 2010 to get here!

Crazy Medicine

So last week (and hovering slightly into this week) I was down with some sickness. I don't usually get sick but, meh. Whenever I do I don't like it. I think mostly 'cause I don't like medicine. I just don't like the way extra chems can make you feel and junk. *shivers*
Anyway, my throat started to get all coughy and funky and weird. But funkier and weirder than usual. I thought at first it was a sore throat and tried my usual route of loading up on vitamin C (big jug of orange juice babaaay!), then I added some cough drops (mountain berry w/wildflower honey centers! @.@). This is usually as far as I have to go as far as 'medicine' for a sore throat. Every once in a while I have to break down and give in to some cough meds or chloraseptic spray 'cause I'm paranoid about still being sick but not enough to give a doc a say yet. Well I was fast approaching a week of throat sickness, and even though I lost my voice (we suspected laryngitis but...) kinda and sounded funnily kick ass saying some things ('Finish him!', 'Fatality!', 'Avada Kedavra!', singing Michael Jackson and the 'aah aah aah' parts on 'Birthday Sex') I had to get something to get better.
We went to the store and I halfway zombie hacked my way over to the medicine. (OHhh-I tried some hot tea with honey...and peach vodka ;-D -it was good and restored my vox for like 2 seconds, but still) I wanted something to soothe my throat and make the coughing stop. I was looking for TheraFlu-someone told me there was a berry flavored one that tasted better than the apple/cinnamon? and lemon kinds. We get on the aisle and *daahnt*-no TheraFlu. Or at least not the kind I wanted. No, they had the creepy warming kind! I hate that stuff! Then there was daytime and nighttime ones. And then I looked at the Tylenol hoping to find something more sane but nooooo-this one had a cooling sensation! What the...freaking WHY??!?! Why?! Fucking why?! Does medicine have to heat up or cool down just to work? I just wanted something to make me get better. I didn't want anything that freakin explodes or goes through the rainbow in color changes or transforms into fireworks or takes you back in time or some shit! Medicine should not do that! Especially get warm! Unfortunately I had to settle for the freaky warmth of the TheraFlu. I already knew how it worked and felt even though I didn't like it so I rathered that than the mystery of the cooling Tylenol. I figured either way it felt like drinking instant heartburn so stick to what I know. I did not choose quietly though! I bet the people in the pharmacy thought maybe I needed meds for another reason if they overheard my bitchfest at the cough medicine!

Microphone Testing 1, 2

*taps the mike* Mic check-check one, one, one, one, mic check mic check. Is this thing on? Yeah? It is?! Can yu guys hear me out there? Hey yo, turn my mic up. chiki chiri check it.
Especially since you can't hear me, muhaha!

So, finally I'm postin on this thing. I took so long trying to come up with an introductory post, and now I'm posting really about nothing. Hooray! Puaahh! Well, I also had complications like my computer fuckin up 'cause my bro kinda janked it up, no internet, getting net back then it not working, work, and other distractions of internetery. But I'm here-let us all rejoice xD
Get ready, get ready! Like the title says-quirky shite, random shite, geektastic shite, and other weirdness/funness/shite to my liking (ok, I know it doesn't say that last part, but still). And parentheses. Which fall into 'shite to my liking'. If you like it-great! If you don't-oh well! I know my facebook friends' feed might like it 'cause now I'll post my interesting finds of interest to maybe no one other than me here instead. Woo! More room for quiz results-watch out!

Thumbs up bitches!
