Er — shall I make a cup of tea?*

I stayed in today except for a very necessary grocery run which included a big-ass hunk of meat, 'cause I've been a-craving. I've spent most of my time watching Whose Line Is It Anyway? on YouTube (oh, playlist, how I love thee!). I've got some excellent tv lined up for tonight: Ashes to Ashes 2x07, TSCC 2x22 (Season and Series finale!) and Dollhouse 1x13 (Whoot!). I've got half a mind to stay up all night. That may be the only way to be up at a decent time tomorrow (after passing through the indecent time, where clocks run down the street naked, waggling their second hands at the homeless and unfortunate sleepwalkers).

I watched The Half-Blood Prince yesterday. I rather liked it, but was a bit underwhelmed at times. Have some notes:

- The chase through the field was lovely footage and nice editing.

- Greyback was pretty useless apart from imbuing the screen with "Grr, argh."

- Bella's seriously mad, yo. (Maybe that's why HBC was listed first after the kids in the credits? Because I've got no other explanation.)

- Snape's "Don't call me a coward" was sorely lacking. Damn you, film! (Also, I really, really would love a novel for adults about Snape and his spy times. He's fascinating. Maybe there's fanfic, but I'm not quite up to wading through the piles for it.)

- I want the Weasley house.

- I miss Severus.

ETA: Harry high on liquid luck was the best thing ever! Pincers!

I ought to read Extremely Loud and Terribly Close and Hey, Nostradamus! - the quotes on literaryquotes are lovely.


Quote of the Day: Compassion (Part 2) - BeElleGee

What if...I promise to protect you always? You'll be mine and I'll keep you with me wherever I go. I will promise to always treat you with respect and dignity and offer you what kindnesses I can. I will pledge my body to you alone and promise to fulfill your every desire unceasingly. I will never leave you. I will always want you. [...] I will do all this for you if you would only allow me to.

I have a huge crush on Helena Bonham Carter. I love her. And her costumes. And her delivery of "I killed Sirius Black! I killed Sirius Black!" was dead-on how I had imagined it in the book.

I would post more points here, but I have to run. Though not literally, because I don't want your knee problems. :(
