Day Off With the Deathly Hallows

Wow, it feels very strange to be blogging. Yesterday kind of felt like a free day since I had done all my requirements before I went to bed. I feel like I missed a day or something. Anyway...

Screnzy update: only wrote 1 page today. Having a little problem, but I'll work past it tomorrow.

So, despite all the writing preperation I did last night, even going so far as to prepare something for myself to eat on the carride to work, my parents went and left me at home. And I don't mean I overslept or they didn't wake me up - I mean I came down the hall to put my coat and shoes on, and they were half-way out the door! Apparently they wanted me to have ANOTHER day off. Not that I'm complaining about having a day off, mind you, I just wish they had of told me that when I got up so I could get some more sleep.

As it was, I watched some more Charmed, and was able to tape the new episodes of Smallville and Supernatural (ohmygosh Bobby&Ellen!!). AND they surprised me by buying HP & the Deathly Hallows movie, which my mom and I watched when she came home.

Having seen it for the second time now, I have to say that it really is the best movie so far. I admit, there were a couple of mistakes. Harry's seemingly insignificant mirror shard that he carries around with him for the entire movie, and Kreature's new loyalty to Harry - both of which should have been explained in previous movies. And I'm really hoping they're going to go into detail about the Dumbledores' past in the next movie, otherwise a lot of the things they put in this movie will be pointless.

Otherwise: fantastic! It was nice to have the old cast back - Clemence Poesy, Frances de la Tour, Brendan Gleeson - and I absolutely LOVE the new actors as well - Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Domhnall Gleeson (Brendan's son, ya know), and Jamie Campbell-Bower (he and Bonnie Wright are engaged!).

Anyway, I'll stop ranting and go have some dinner. G'night.
