is it just me, or is the post editor in blogger shot? because right now i'm typing in a tiny box pushed to the very bottom of the screen, while random words float above the box. it's all very strange.
anyhow, caught harry potter with amos, fran, chin and weiting yesterday. so sorry i couldn't give any of you a lift and rushed off so soon! my mum had to rush to go fetch my sister from nus and i think she was a little annoyed. had a good dinner at astons before the movie, during which wynne joined us and made us laugh a lot because she had very funny stories to tell us. and the movie wasn't all that bad i suppose, but it really wouldn't make much sense whether you'd read the book or not. if you had read it you'd be so aghast at the gaping plot holes and how the entire thing was so disjointed. if you hadn't you'd come out of the cinema thinking harry potter was all romance and fluff. and you wouldn't understand lots of it anyway. the books were infinitely better, even though i feel like the worst literature student in the world for saying that.
then i got in a harry potter mood and reread the last book today, and say what you will but i think j.k rowling honestly handled snape's death scene very masterfully. fred's as well. it's only on second reading (okay don't laugh at me you smart arses who got it the first time round) that i realised the significance of snape's insistence that harry look at him while he lay there dying. and that put so much more meaning to the entire scene, and makes you ache for his death all the more.
okay never mind that entire harry potter ramble.
i am going to study hard for my placement test! maybe i'll miraculously get a waiver and not have to waste time in beginner japanese again.
