- Star Trek was a lot of fun, and mercifully easy to understand, especially for a non-Trekker/ie like me. I went in just wanting to be entertained, and I got that and more. And also, though I didn't care much for Zachary Quinto's Sylar (look, sometimes the smooth talking sociopath is not the character to have a crush on, okay fandom? Now stfu.) I do love his Spock. And Simon Pegg. I love you, Simon Pegg. LOVE YOU.

kitsune714 on her graduation from med school. Now I can call you Dr. D. Like Dr. Horrible, but competent. - I've watched Atashinchi no Danshi episode 5 about seven times now, though half of that was just ffing to my favorite parts. Which I will be sharing in another post, with screencaps of flail.
- I've dumped GomPlayer for The KMPlayer
- I'm really looking forward to seeing UP! as I've loved almost every Pixar movie that I've seen. But I'm also very excited about Disney bringing back oldskool hand-drawn animation in the form of the Princess and the Frog. The Disney princesses were some of my earliest drawing models.
- If you don't understand why this is funny, you don't really know me: The script to the new Twilight franchise movie was found in the trash
- The trailer for 9 simultaneously creeps and fascinates me
- I think I am going to try and make custard this weekend. My summer fruit trifle worked out nicely a few weekends ago....
- Jonny Lee Miller and Romola Garai are to be the new Mr. Knightley and Emma Woodhouse in another BBC Jane Austen adaptation. I AM SO EXCITED, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. Even though Emma is my least favorite Austen - I love Romola. (And JLM!)
There is something not quite right about being up this early on a Friday morning, but then again I work retail, so I don't have normal hours. Or a normal sense of time, period (Christmas comes like three months early in retail, and we had Valentines coming in before the New Year).
It's been a while since I've posted in this journal, so I'm at a bit of a loss. Hmmmm.....cake or death?
How about that new Harry Potter title? Deathly Hallows and all that - because we don't want to totally give it away that more people are going to die or anything.
I've worked in a bookstore for two Harry Potter premieres, and I have a suspicion I'll still be there when Deathly Hallows comes out, but then after that ...I think it's time to move on. I have a life to get on with, and I'm just not seeing the career opportunities at a place where half of the time I dread coming in and the other half I'm just so tired. It's been particularly brutal since the holidays, and since I am determined to fall into debt for my March holiday (but I do have an excellent credit score rating, *flings confetti*) to NY and London, I really have no one to blame but myself. I mean, I don't have to escape the sudden pressing confines of responsibility and drudgery to gallivant around NY and the UK.
I just wanna.
