Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

Friday, July 17th, 2009

I’ve been getting a kick out of all the reviews of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince – mostly because everyone seems to think it is the end-all-to-be-all of the Harry Potter films.  Everyone’s been going on and on and one about how good it is, and funny, etc…
I’ve been to see it twice now [...]

Dead Snow

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

Very rarely do I ever check out The New York Times online.  Seriously – I’ve held a grudge against them ever since they were asinine enough to print spoilers (in the form of stolen copies) Harry Potter, which I consider bad form regardless of who’s doing the spoiling.
Anyway, every once in a while I’ll pop [...]

Mr. Darcy vs. Mr. Rochester

Friday, May 8th, 2009

I have an essay due in 6 days.
Have I started?
Nope.
Instead, I’ve been feeding my soul with romance, 19th Century style.
er… sort of.
I started with Pride & Prejudice 1996 with Colin Firth.  I’m not a huge Jane Austen fan – I avoided the class solely devoted to Jane Austen as an undergrad – but I love this [...]

Horrors From Years Past

Friday, May 1st, 2009

In an effort to pay attention to something besides the media-fueled freak out over Swine Flu which isn’t really Swine Flu, I decided to track down one of the first movies I can remember seeing as a child.  It was also one of the movies to absolutely terrify me.
I was a horrible wuss as a [...]

Happy Friday!

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Sorry for the lack of posts this week; it’s been sort of an emotional upheaval, but I’m over it.  I already know I’m not the best student, but I do try and when it doesn’t work out quite like I think it will I revert back to my high school days and all the insecurity [...]

What Was I Supposed to be Doing?

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

In an ongoing effort to avoid finishing my most recent research paper, I just watched the trailer for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
If we can have Christmas in July, can we also have July at Christmas?
*sigh*
I hate waiting.

I’m Beginning to Love Shorts…

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

I saw this over on Seize Adventure and thought it was simply wonderful.  (As an aside, I’m sorry about the coffee this morning…)

Quick Catch-Up

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

I think I may have mentioned previously that this weekend we’ve had the Gothic Film Festival here on campus.
If not, we’ve had the Gothic Film Festival here on campus. 
I’ll do a more in-depth blog about it later on in the week as time permits, but I wanted to point everyone to one of [...]

First Impressions…

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

I have to interrupt the regularly scheduled QM2 updates to tell you about my first day of class yesterday.
See, I live inside my head a lot – and will giggle at things that pass through unannounced despite the fact that I usually end up explaining why I’m giggling which tends to make other people look [...]

Is There No Shame?

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

It seems everyone has a story about seeing The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  Mine isn’t as nearly as exciting as most; the first time I saw it was on video – a bootleg copy with Japanese subtitles long before it was released for home viewing.  The first time I saw it live was at the [...]
