Let's go bother Snape!

How in the hell did I miss the memo/forget that there's a new Harry Potter movie coming out in four months? *pant* I just spent the last ten minutes watching the teaser over and over. Looks yummy. They'd better not screw this up - Askaban is my favorite book in the series. We'll see - I really do like Alfonso Cuaron's work and it's got to be cool if Gary Oldman's involved... he does creeptastic sketchy characters so well.

Well good. At least I'll have something to look forward to post-graduation. :P

Some people shouldn't be allowed to breed

Stealing a line from TS Eliot - "The naming of kids is a difficult matter; it isn't just one of your holiday games."

Did this man's parents put even an iota of thought into this?

Ah well, at least he was a good sport about it.

People make me mad some days...

Watch this. Get annoyed. Break shit.

Anyway.

Active voice

So I'm annoyed with myself today... actually I've been annoyed with myself for much of this week, just been having a fit in general about my general unwillingness to get a grip on my own life. I feel more and more like I'm living in the passive voice - and anyone who has written an English paper knows the evil of the passive voice - it's likely to bring you more red ink and lower grades than anything else out there.

Amusing metaphor aside... *sigh* This isn't anything new, it's not like I've had a major revelation that I am like this, but this week I spent more time stressing about several things than actually doing something about it. And I am quite torqued with me about it.

Oh boy... *sigh* I need to get a grip and fucking direct where the hell I'm going than drift - why am I always the person shit happens to instead of the person making shit happen?

Fuck this shit.
