And the Saga Continues

This is sheer entertainment: the Daily Mail chimes in.

I think they were out of good subjects. Which is curious in this period of time. But then again, the economical crisis is so boring and passé.

Like no one so far, I do not have the answer of why. I would like to add a question; Why are the Brits so offended? For as much as I know, all nationalities get typecast all the time, it hurts my eyes (and ears).

And then they wouldn't let Jonathan Pryce play a half-blood (Caucasian)Mongolean guy, because he was totally Caucasian instead of half or completely Mongolean. WTF!?

I think they are all only out to confuse me. No need, for that last sentence confused me enough.

For goof (yes, that was a typo, but I rather liked it) measure and to give my blog some well earned colour:

the Snape Chronicles

Originally, I only wanted to ask Hannah if she was aware of the Snape Chronicles. This is a fanfic that reads as the real thing and Snape's view on all the events. If you're a Snape fan, you should read it. It's actually quite good and very entertaining. I found myself reading the first book completely in one evening.

Go here: the Snape Chronicles

The story was initially posted on a forum and you have to click around a bit, but the writer is very helpful with all the links. However, since I planned to read it while traveling I compiled the whole story and will make a pdf of it for easier spreading.

Important note: I didn't include everything, because the writer also wrote alternative pieces. I choose to stay as close to the story line that follows and is based on the original Harry Potter books. If you want to read the alternative pieces, go to the forum and read there. And even if you're reading my compiled version, please go there if only to comment to the writer.

P.S.

Yesterday I wrote my apologies to Jason Mraz. I also wrote an entry in my diary. For some reason both keep me thinking it’s not completely how I feel. In the case of the apologies it has something to do with leaving things out about how I feel about him. I still remember why I left it out, or didn’t change anything. What I feel is too long to put in that short apologies blog and I kept it short on purpose. However, now I have the feeling if he reads it, he’s going to miss my point which would be completely my fault. I thought about it and decided to only add this:

“Jason, I trust you understand my shortcomings in communication and therefore understand I mean no harm and support you in whatever you choose to do.”

The entry in my diary I’m keeping to myself. I feel that discussion is done and over with and I don’t want to spend anymore energy in it.

Jason, I Hear You

If there is one person I should apologize to it is to you. I have been more often than not condescending about your whereabouts, your ideas, you philosophies and your life. Truth is, your life is your own and I trust you do the things you think are best. Whatever it is of communication that goes wrong between us or gets lost in space, I know we are on the same path of trying to do the right thing; our heads and hearts only believe in different things. I don't blame you for anything, I won't call you out and back for anything as much you never did me.

I feel I don't have to restore love between you and me for there never really was any loss of it; I still love you as much as I ever loved you. With that said I think I need to explain my past comments a little more. You with your views are behind on me. And you, who intents nothing but good (and apparently love) hasn't teach me anything new. It's not a complaint, it's only a fact. I have learnt those things when I was younger. I only feel sorry you didn't seem to have. I am happy you are now, I really am, even when it looks I'm only annoyed with you.

Keep on doing the works and then I will do mine. We will meet again I'm sure.

Just one more thing: You might want to think of stopping to tell people how they should live their lives. Don't you think it would be a better idea to do suggestions?

Music Soundtracks: My Princes

Can you imagine a world without music? Even when I'm completely consumed by film or series, it's usually the music that keeps me coming back. I also tend to fall in love with the princes, self-acclaimed or not.

Half Blood Prince - Soundtrack: Redrum by Immediate Music


The Last Agni Kai: Azula vs Zuko (for a cartoon prince, he's pretty hot) - Soundtrack: I don't know what the soundtrack is called.


In combination with the visuals it's compelling. It's fascinating how image and sound can create a certain experience.

The word of the day is: "fascinating".

Cuppa

This morning, I got mightily upset cause my 'Fond of Hot Beverages' cup had verschwunden.

Also, people have to stop offending my traveler's mug: 1) It's not a boy on there and 2) the spilling adds to the fun, adventure and charm of the mug.

Workpace

As if I have one at the moment, a Workpace. And if I had one, the program Workpace sure will make sure your workpace will slow down. Pretty much like the network over here.

Anyway, below:
Goal: Focus on anything other than screen to give your eyes a change of scenery.

This is what I got to look at:

Not nearly close to what Workpace wanted me stare at.

FACTS: To Bore You Thru and Thru

Here’s another update. I’m thinking of changing some, throwing some out and others in. I’m in a new cycle and some of the old points became irrelevant.

Here goes:

- The concern of readers doesn’t concern me anymore; I’m writing for me. Though I must admit, I’m worried I’m boring Hannah.

- Like I always promised myself and others, I won’t delete old posts. This now results in me reposting old blogs. Going through my old blogs, I noticed more and more traditions emerging. For instance, I used the title ‘We’re All Connected’ twice already. I’m also more often comparing fruits. Ironic, in regards to the initial Fruit post.

- I think my (new) soundboxes are slowly breaking down. The headbox of the set only now and then works and blasts me away on any given and unexpected time.

- My DVD-player and I are still very close, especially since the refound love for some actors. However, I noticed my dvd-player is annoyingly and insistently set on Dutch.

- Dennis and Charlie are out; it’s now for some strange reason Juliet and Emma. I keep forgetting their last names. Let’s see if you can figure that out.

- Bathroom does not only need remodelling, but also cleaning. I didn’t clean too hard since I was thinking we were going to remodel it soon anyway. No such thing seems to be in the near future planning.

- I woke up somewhere around 7.30 am thinking it would be grand to get up and go to work early. Grand, then I fell back asleep. At 8.00 am I woke up to my alarm clock once more and decided it was not grand to get up already, so I went back to bed. 8.00 am really hurt my head this morning.

- I’m at work, though I’m wondering what I’m doing here. I still needed be here, because someone might wanted to talk to me. He did, thank god. Strange construction of sentence, but I do not care the least.

- I recycled a by now very old update list which when filled in, really doesn’t say anything about my state of being. I did change the font. Hurray!

- I'm wrote a completely new review. However, I used the old list to keep the tradition going. Because I needed to update the points and add some new ones. What d’ya-know, I already did that. (Referring to last update list)

- Jason Mraz is increasingly annoying me and therefore I stepped back a little. New things to gape at.

- My love for John Mayer has once again decreased; I am however looking forward to his concert in Amsterdam.

- RKOP nor MSM worry me anymore. Apparently, PORK went out of existence. And enter Page394. Apparently, all the usual forum drama happened before I joined. Apparently, I'm late for the party. *shrugs* The time suits me right.

Older blog: The one from September 2009

See?

Here's another one: I'm Aparition Being to Fall Back to Dust
I actually really like this one. It's still true.

Blast of the Past

Old blog: the 15th
Utterly useless blog. As you can see, I got tired of all the moving around (especially of my J's. Gawddamnit, stick to one site, will ya please).

P.S.: Expect some more retelling.

Yes, I'm in Love Again

Yesterday, I spent half of my day staring at those:
Utterly in love.

P.S.: The word of the day is 'Utterly'.

It IS a Fruit

I'm utterly fascinated by the 'Why are Brits always cast as villains?' discussion. I'm utterly fascinated, because all arguments are hilarious and/or have no ground to stand on, nor do they answer Dame Dench's demand. (edit: Of course I was wrong about the Dame; it was Dame Helen Mirren who made the comment. My sincere apologies to Dame Dench.)

Fact is that almost anyone, that includes Americans, Brits, Chinese, you and I, cast certain people in the villain roles as much we typecast other people in other certain roles. It's not right and it's not wrong. It's only our wicked and twisted way of telling good from bad.

Then again, somewhere along the line we started to root for the baddies in Hollywood productions. They must have done something right, those Brits.

P.S.: My Botanical garden is finished. Visit the purple frog.

We're All Connected

Guess what; Farmville actually gave me a purple frog:
