oh the shame of it all

Thanks to everyone for your "sympathy" yesterday re: the crab. But I didn't even mention the worst part (I think I was trying to block it out). The fact that it was walking around even after I pulled the head/shell off wasn't actually the worst part, though it was certainly no picnic. The worst part was that its heart -- or whatever serves as a crab's heart -- was STILL BEATING. IN BOTH SIDES OF THE SHELL. Yes, it was rising up and down in the head part, and in the body part. OMG it was so gross. And THEN -- it actually raised a claw up to where its mouth used to be, all slowly like, as if asking, "Dude, where's my head?" *shudders anew*

Took a three-mile walk w/ my friend Julie today, then had brunch at Chinook's. Okay, I have never ever had as good a scone in America as you can get in England (we just don't seem to know how to make them here), but I have to say that this was the best American scone I've ever had. Especially with the honey orange butter. Then we rented a completely awful movie -- "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton" -- that I knew wasn't going to be good, but I still had hopes that it would be better than it was. It used every single cheesy cliche you could think of. Seriously. And the saddest part was that the actors in it weren't bad actors! I mean, I love Topher Grace! Sigh. But don't watch it. If I can save you, let me.

Let me save you from something else. I finally finished this horrible romance that I picked up the last time I was in California. It's taken me this long because I couldn't read it anymore after a certain point. But I don't typically like leaving things half-finished, so I read the rest. When you see what it's about, you'll probably think that I was v. naive for hoping that it might possibly be any good, but I totally did have that hope. It sounded so GP, but in a fun way! Not in a I-want-to-burn-this-book-in-a-bonfire-and-dance-around-its-remains way! It was called A Greek God at the Ladies' Club by Jenna Knight. ( The book description. *cringes in shame* )

If you've attempted to show me these before, I apologize.

OMG HE'S SERIOUSLY A GIRL NOW

Rupert, why are they so mean to you???

*goes back to Draco pic to soothe self* Not the most attractive picture of Tom ever, but it's an awesome shot.

I also like this one of Emma.

Oooh, look! Ginny has a cute braid.

OMG there are like over 200 other pictures that I am too tired to go through. If anyone with a tougher constitution than I finds any more shots of Draco or Ginny, please let me know.

Thanks to annibug for the link!!

Edit: Another one of Draco. That is a verrrry interesting tagline, considering it's really got nothing to do w/ PoA. And what is w/ the random Hermione in the bg. :-l

And of course, here's hot Harry.

Will update as ropo finds more. :))

You show up for coffee and the world's not ending? Come on. -- quote from a good finale

Yes, me again. There's just too much going on this Sunday!

I've caved and purchased my first Kate Spade bag. It's the most popular one -- the black nylon Sam. Since I don't have oodles to spend on designer purses, I have to get something functional that I'll actually be able to use. <g>

News from the PoA premiere: Some stars, such as Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Jamie Waylett (Vincent Crabbe) detoured off the red carpet to sign autographs and shake hands, while Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) delighted the crowd and dismayed the NYPD officers in charge of security by walking through the entire gauntlet of fans, chatting cheerfully with almost everyone. Awwwwwww. You go, Tom. He was probably just happy to be around people who don't hide behind their parents when they see him. :))

Okay, now the real point of my post: ( Alias: The Crappy Finale/Resurrection spoilers )
