In which I never have actual news
Jun. 29th, 2011 08:43 pm*Home for the night, hello full-sized keyboard. If I type lively instead of lovely on my ipod one more time, I might scream.
I've actually only got a week and three days left of housesitting, I am somewhere between bummed and elated.
Tomorrow is a day of cleaning and disinfecting the house; my grandad had chemo today and he's having a blood transfusion tomorrow, and I know the chemo at least makes him very susceptible to germs.
*About to watch the final ep of Game of Thrones, finally, insert sobbing noises here. I have to say, I really enjoyed the series, having gone into it knowing absolutely nothing. I could do without the constant gratuitous violence, I'm forever watching the show through my fingers like a wuss, but then, this is HBO, I wasn't really expecting subtlety.
In related news, I would allcaps L-O-V-E to see Colin or Bradley in a guest role on that show *___*
*Lately, I've had to restrain myself from asking Bradley, via twitter, what Hogwarts house he thinks he'd be sorted into, because I don't want to give my friends second hand embarrassment. IT IS A FIERCE INTERNAL STRUGGLE THOUGH. I really want to know if he thinks he's a Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff.
The things I waste my time thinking about, I swear to fucking god.
*Oh, so Pottermore? Still not entirely sure what it is but I am excited about new canon information from JKR. Are any of you going to sign up for the beta testing of the site?
The only thing that's made me a bit sad about this whole thing is that I guess this negates the need for the long-rumoured encyclopaedia? I was looking forward to holding more Potter in my hand.
Also, FINAL POTTER FILM IN ABOUT A FORTNIGHT. I just looked back and one year ago today I was posting the trailer for the first part, ~OH MEMORIES~
*So many of you are feeling bummed lately, big hugs to you all.

Date: 2011-06-29 02:47 pm (UTC)See, he probably would but I swear I remember an interview with him where he said he wasn't nearly as brave as Arthur, so I can see him playing up the Puff angle as an old duffer.

Date: 2011-06-29 12:33 pm (UTC)IKR? I was so looking forward to a lovely, hefty, hard-cover thing :(
I was watching telly last week and saw the ad for the new HP movie and I swear to God, I got a bit teary. I was sitting there on the couch and suddenly I was all, "AWW." My sister looked at me like, "What's wrong?" And I said: "IT'S NEARLY OVER."
And I hope everything goes well - or as well as can be expected - with your grandad's treatments *hugs*

Date: 2011-06-29 04:20 pm (UTC)so excited about HP and PotterMore. and PotterMore takes the sadness away a bit, because in about a fortnight it's over;__________; no more excited waiting for the next book or next movie. *cries*
no subject
Date: 2011-06-29 11:16 pm (UTC)That's what I'm hoping, that this new information in Pottermore will help heal the gap because otherwise, no more Potter, I don't know how we're going to survive :(

Date: 2011-06-29 05:37 pm (UTC)ME TOO.
Hahahaha, your question is AWESOME.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-29 11:21 pm (UTC)The Bradley one? To be honest I think I'm getting actualfax!Bradley, who mentioned reading Potter ONE TIME, mixed up with headcanon!Bradley, who debates wand lore over tea and biscuits.

Date: 2011-06-29 05:41 pm (UTC)Do you know how jkglshfsk I am that I'll be out of town (and in a place with no internet access, TV, and so on) when part two comes out? I may not be able to see it... to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't be surprised if the place we're going has NO theatres playing the movie. SOBBING.
But /hugs, so many hugs, thank you. ♥

(In all seriousness, I'm usually so preoccupied while I'm there that it doesn't matter, but I've never been there that long!)

Date: 2011-06-30 05:04 am (UTC)HAVE YOU SEEN IT ALREADY? UGH. THAT GUY FUCKING LOVES TO KILL OFF PEOPLE, SMH GEORGIE-BOY. SMHHHHHH. ;___; aww, I'd totally hold your hand during the violent parts. *cute face*
if you had to recast someone on the show and had Colin or Bradley play them, who would it be? I think I need to see them in other things, they seem too goody goody for GoT..Idk. Bradley might play a Stark kid pretty alright if he dyed his hair and wore contacts or something..
don't know nuthin' 'bout that.
'fortnight' lmao, okay, milady.
I'm not bummed but I will take a K-dog hug anyway.

Date: 2011-06-30 10:22 am (UTC)Yessss, watched it last night, so good, but yeah, THAT GUY, WHAT A CUNTRASH. I went on Wikipedia last night and read what happens in the next three books because I don't think I'll ever get around to them. I don't know if this is the series for me, dude, shit gets real in the future.
I'd recast them as Renly and his boyf *___* No, um, HMM. Bradley could pass as Robb, he can do manpain and look royal. I think I'd like to see him as Greyjoy too. Is that his name? The ward/prisoner of the Starks, the one that loved the whore. As for CMorg, I'd like to see him maybe as Littlefinger? I think he has it in him to be a twat.
How is fortnight not in your vocab, god. Sheltered American scum!
*squishy hugs* I love you <3
