Just got back from the drive-in, where we went to see War of the Worlds, which was suitably impressive. I did think that the ending could have been more... specific, the way they phrased it was like a vague riddle that only makes sense when you already know the answer. But maybe I'm just not giving people enough credit.
Now I'm gonna go watch some more of Oz, season 3. Then watch QAF when it comes on again. And finish my black cherry smirnoff. And then get back to reading The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, which I've read before but not in many years and it is a very good story.

Guh. Eames, I mean Kathryn Erbe, I mean Shirley Bellinger is fucking creepy as hell. And somehow that makes me love Eames more. Don't ask me how. Watching Oz is going to have a permanent mind-warping effect on watching L&O of all flavors.

Oh, another random thing: Have you heard of Orlando Bloom's new movie Elizabethtown? Well, how come I hadn't until I saw a preview for it tonight?! It's about *Elizabethtown* - *E-town* - as in *Kentucky* - how did I miss this?

That is all.

If my f-list wrote HBP by violet_quill is a frickin' hilarious (completely Spoiler-y!) summary of HBP based solely on the content of spoiler posts on her f-list. It's a pretty amusing look at what fandom finds important. Especially our little corner of it. Yay Snaco!
And three cheers to gdye_trauda for pointing me at it.

I promise I will stop talking about HP. Soon. Eventually. Sometime before I die. Possibly. Really. I have to, if you think about it- or else I'll have to start paying my Percy icon overtime. ^.^ Then again, he'll hardly complain, will he?

Went to BG with mom today to take Zoe to Danny's for another week of rehearsals. Mostly, the purpose of this was to buy Aileen more fish (which are very cute and orange and black, except for the algae-eater that's just black) and to make sure mom remembered to go by McDonald's to buy more Neopets toys. We succeeded quite well on the second point. We now have some of all of them except for #10, which I think is the Meerca. Mom bought about 8 or 10 Poogles of various colors because that is her favorite. We went to six separate McDonald's. Five in BG (and there are *more*!) and one in Russelville. We're gonna try again next week to see what we can find. Neopets happy meal toys are going to make me crazy because while there are only 12 different toys, they all come in a variety of colors, some more common than others. I think mom's poogles are mostly blue with at least one yellow, one pink, and a couple of red. It's crazy. My best guess as to how many we've bought so far is three dozen.
Oh, and while we were at walmart, mom also got some more of those voice-activated neopets thingies, including a starry shoyru. ^.^ *iconlove*
