Anything but Ordinary

So we're getting closer and closer to the final Harry Potter. Of course I can't wait to read it and find out how it all ends but it comes with a bit of sadness too that this is the last book. There will be no more waiting to find out what happens next.

shipperchick, has yet to actually read HBP. However she will be reading it in the next week or so - and must pass a quiz when she's done. In exchange I will "prepare" her or in her words warn her if its "safe from harry or hermione dying" in book 7. I also got some awesome 'I finished DH' icons out of her.

I'm almost finished with my re-read of HBP. I'm at the point in the book where its no longer safe for me to read it in public. This is my 4th read of the book and I have yet to get through the Dumbledore death scene with out getting weepy so I'll finish it up at home this week.

I'll be seeing OOtP with Leanna and Bo after work on Wednesday. I didn't get my re-read of book 5 done like I wanted to but I may read up on the ending again just for a refresher.

In other fandoms - finally finished the last 5 eps of SG-1. I wasn't actually sad to see it end. I still enjoyed the show but not as much as before RDA left. And I'm sorry - but if I was Vala I would have kicked Daniel in the balls and threw him out after that little rant he gave in the finale. That aside I've been on a S/J fic binge this weekend and shipperchick has promised me icons and a header. Yay!

I've also realized I have no idea what I'm gonna watch when TV comes back in the fall. Gilmore Girls is done, SG-1 is done, BSG and Lost won't be back until January. That leaves....House, Bones and Grey's. I don't think I've ever had so few shows that I watched. Hope there are some good new shows out this fall.

And for the 3rd Sunday in a row my neighbors are playing the same crappy music repeatedly so loud that I can hear it in the house with the windows close. ::headdesk::

So, I've finished 7 chapters and I'm taking a little break to slurp on some broth...and as I've been reading my mind has been taunting me with evle thoughts

( not so many spoilers and a lot of speculation )

So, I've seen the new trailer for 'Prisoner of Azkaban' and overall I'm impressed. It's not gonna be next summer fast enough.

However.

I'll have to go through the book again, but I don't recall there being a choir of kids singing 'something wicked this way comes' while holding giant frogs...but I could be wrong.

Draco and the flying origami bird thing....again, don't remember reading that in the book (are we sensing a pattern to my rant?) And the hair...I don't know, it just seems to Fanon!Draco to me. Don't get me wrong, he looks good, he just doesn't look like the little spoiled punk that Canon!Draco is.

The Boggart!Snape scene. ROFLMAO!! Completely how I pictured the scene. BRAVO!

My biggest problem is this....the scene where Snape is *protecting* Harry, Ron and Hermione. Ummm...Excuse me? From what we're being told that is supposed to be the post Shrieking Shack scene, where Lupin transforms into his werewolf self. Now, correct me if I'm wrong (and I know I'm not) but Snape was UNCONSCIOUS during that scene. Not to mention that as far as Book 3 goes, Snape is still a pretty ambiguous character, especially in terms of his motives. Now, anyone who know me knows that I adore Snape. I am wholly, totally and completely fascinated with Snape. I think he is a good guy who's made *really* bad choices and is downright, bitter, snarky, sarcastic but redeeamable.

But even I have issues with the new director changing CANON! You just don't do it! GGGGRRRRRRRRRRR!
