Oh Robin Hood... what would I do without you?

I'm BAACCCKKKKKKKK

I've been pondering for ohhhh since the finale if I would continue to watch Robin Hood and when I saw it online, well I got curious. So here we go. No Marian, no Will or Djaq. Seriously...how did I watch it?

It was okay. I missed my Sqquueeeeee moments of Marian and Robin. But I did like the end when he said, "I'll always love you." Sweet.

Robin is a BAMF. The way he treated his gang... dude Robin. And why did it takes months of traveling to get home and like a day to get to the Holy Land? Um.

Gisborne does look like he went on a year bender. I read some review that said that. So true, so true. But I don't feel bad for him. Who kills a defenseless woman? Seriously. I like Robin and Gisborne's exchange at the end when Gisborne says to Robin to do it and he wants it to be over. He's in hell and Robin says, "Then stay there." GO ROBIN!

You have to love the dedication even though Robin treated them like shit. That is one thing I do like about Robin Hood. And can we talk about how bad some of the scenes looked? Are they using a cheap form of green/blue screen? Or CGI? Lol. The scenes by the cliff and the water when Gisborne was about to throw the girl in are just so bad.

I liked Tuck. The way he handled Robin was good since no one in his gang could ever do that to him. Well Djaq could somewhat do that, but who knows if he would have listened. But Tuck gave him no choice. Marian was the only one who had a chance in hell of getting through to him. Nice to know that there is someone else who Robin will listen to.

About his god complex... yeah he's a cocky bastard. Well not anymore. He had it all and he knew it. He had a woman who loved him, people who adored him, and the bad guys wanted him dead. Can you get anymore high than that? It's every boy's dream! But Marian's death destroyed all of that for him. It was the one thin that held him together. People's opinions fade, and there could be a change in command who doesn't care about him, but Marian would never stop loving him. With her love, he could take over the world. But now she's gone and he doesn't know what to do. Tuck made that very clear for him.

Yeah, I think that's about all I got for this episode. I realized that most of my comments for the last two seasons were all about Marian and Robin and how I loved them so much. I now am somewhat interested in where this is going... especially if the fight is now in England AND Ireland. WTF! I just learned this in the History of England class I am taking and it was Henry II or Richard and John's Dad who started the whole, "Oh let's get Ireland." Well okay it was a little more complicated than that. Anyway.

Til next time.

So just thought I would update... life is good. Living in Portland Hall for the summer, and it's sweet. I go on duty for the first time tomorrow. I'm watching hockey right now... Pens vs. Flyers. The Avs are out. That was just an embarrassment. I'm still proud to be an Avs fan, but it was just not good. So many Avs players got injured that they had no chance in hell.

School ended just fine. Still waiting on my grades. I think I'm getting two As, a B+, but I don't know what I am getting for my Honors class. I think a B+... hopefully.

I just have to comment on House last night. AMAZING. Hugh Laurie has my heart. The episode was just SO GOOD. One of my favorite lines is, "I use to drink and then drive home, but some Mom's got mad-d." HAHAHA! Classic. Cannot wait to find out what happens next week... it's the season finale. House is going to have a seizure, and some other nasty stuff. Awesome. It wouldn't be a good finale unless House was hurt. Hehe.

All right, well that's it.

So I just needed to say that I finally saw Run Fat Boy Run... and I would run 26 miles for Simon Pegg and Dylan Moran! I LOVE THE TWO OF THEM SO MUCH!

Great movie... I cannot wait to get it on DVD!

My favorite person in the movie was... DYLAN MORAN! It's pretty good that I saw it alone in my room because oh yeah, no one needed to hear my comments about Dylan, and how much I love him. He was sooo funny. I love when he comes into Simon's room and says, "Wow! You look great!" Hahaha. His face is amazing, and I want to hug him and never let go.

Simon Pegg was really good too, of course. I'm a big fan of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Spaced so yeah Simon can't do anything wrong in my eyes. He's really good! Great script! I never saw the ending coming... I thought he would finish it, but not that he would do the majority of it in extreme pain! I've run with something wrong with my feet, so yeah it sucks!

This just looks like a great movie to film! I'm sure Dylan and Simon, along with everyone else had WAY too much fun!

THE MIGHTY BOOSH WON BEST TV SHOW!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP! Buzzcocks, The IT Crowd and Heroes was nominated! And the BOOSH WON!!!!!! I'm floored. Well not because the Boosh won, because it deserves it, but it beat Heroes! It had really good competition.

Noel got both best dressed and sexiest man! WELL OF COURSE! Though I saw pictures and Patrick Wolfe was looking rather striking... HAHAHA! He's funny. I saw him on Buzzcocks.

CONGRATS TO THE BOOSH!

Oh and Matthew Horne was one of the presenters... he was SO COOL in Robin Hood!!!!!!!

I LOVE THE COLORADO AVALANCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALL MY BOYS ARE COMING HOME TO PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now if Roy would just come out of retirement.... COME ON ROY! Throw Theodore out of the net! Out of Denver!

Hey

So another week has gone by, and it's been fun. I've watched the newest Robin Hood, the Boosh started this week, and school went well.

First let's start with the Boosh. I didn't realize it was starting this week, so did I get a surprise when I woke up on Thursday! WOW! I loved the first episode! I think the Hitcher is a great character, so having him in the episode was cool. Howard and Vince were so funny. Naboo and the shaman stag party won though.
We are super magic men,
We stay up til 5am,
And although bound by shaman law
What goes on tour, stays on TOUR!!!

I love their song so much. Richard Ayoade was so funny as Saboo. Tony Harrison is an 'outrage'! Hehehe. Great episode, cannot wait for the next one! I so love the Boosh!

Robin Hood was great too! Ah, I was holding Bowl Jr and Pooh the whole time. I was very afraid for Robin and Marian in the episode! I so love Robin Hood, this season is really good. It's much more dangerous, and the stakes are ten times higher! I hope they do another season! This one is half over! AH!

Classes went well. Still loving my honor's class. I hate Advanced Memoir soooo much. Argh, it makes me angry just thinking about it. Public Speaking is a hellish time too. I registered for classes for next semester though, taking The Bible, History of Criticism, Honors 102 and a seminar! Should be a good time!

Have to go, need to put on another Hogans!

I had a weekend of British comedy... does life get any better?
Oh yeah it does, it's called being in Camden Town meeting Noel and Julian.
Since I'm in Maine though, that will remain a dream that I love to have.

Anyway, I got Caitlin so into British comedy, it's almost funny. She came over Friday night and didn't leave until 1:30am. We watched the Rock Opera, the Quiz Show, Ponderland, the Boosh. It was amazing. I love the Rock Opera. Matt Berry is just so HOT! Julian is amazing too. Caitlin loved the Quiz show because she has this thing with Russell Brand. She loves him as much as I love Matt Berry. It was such a great night, we had lots of tea, snacks, and just watched stuff on my computer. We also talked about Germany, where she hopes to go, and London.

So if that is not enough, on Saturday, we went to the Gorham Grind, got breakfast, and then came back to my room and watched the rest of Ponderland, two Darkplaces, and The IT Crowd. I thought she might like Darkplace, and she said it was funny but corny. When I asked though if she wanted to watch another one, she asked what else I had. Darkplace is weird, I'll give you that, but I love it so much. Matt Berry is amazing in it, I love so many of his lines. "Bastard Monkey Hands! and Doctor Sanchez!" Amazing. Richard Ayoade is great too, especially when he has his gun. Hahaha. I love Julian to, he's great as a priest.

So after all this British comedy, I went to Shorty's, where we watched more. We watched the first episode of The IT Crowd, and then 3 episodes from the 2nd season. Everyone laughed so hard. I got really excited when Matt Berry made his entrance, "FATHER!" Hehehe, Oh Matt.

We also watched The Fountain. I have no idea what to think about it. It was good, I think, I mean the beginning was REALLY weird, but once you figured out everything it was pretty good. The special effects were really good. It was a simple story, but visually really good. Hugh Jackman was good in it. The music was amazing.

So that was my weekend. Today I did homework, homework, and for kicks more homework. I also watched the Pats play the Colts! WOW! The Pats won! They hurt themselves hard with two big Pass Interference calls, but Brady pulled it off in the end. The last 8 minutes, he seemed like the old Brady, the one who runs up the score on everyone, and kicks complete ass. I was so glad they won, and now they are still 8-0. GO PATS!

Now I'm watching CSI and Law and Order CI. Sooooo love these shows. Oh well back to them.

P.S. Robin Hood KICKED COMPLETE ASS THIS WEEK! STUPID ALLAN! Why, why do hot men betray other hot men??? Thankfully though he didn't say anything about Marian being the spy in the castle. I love Robin Hood SO MUCH!

So I'm sitting in the Woodbury eating area/dining hall, whatever the hell this place is, and for a first not making a fool out of myself. I'm watching videos of Grissom and Lady Heather, yeah I need a life. I was watching Grissom and Sara, and before that Russell Brand. I watched a few minutes of Russell Brand's Got Issues, and it didn't grab my attention as much as Ponderland did. Um.

So since learning that I am not playing hockey, it's now been a week, I've had such a busy life. Yes that was sarcastic. I went home for the weekend. That was fun. I went into JP with Dad, and wow. The house is looking good. The War room looks good, as does the rest of upstairs. But thankfully there was a little bit more of wallpaper on the walls, and I GOT TO TAKE IT OFF! Woohoo!! I almost got to plaster and do some painting. Good day overall.

Sunday, I did nothing. I sat and watched the Pats and then the Soxs! I SOXS WON THE WORLD SERIES! HOLY CRAP! I never really thought they would do it so soon after 2004. But yeah they did it. They have a pretty good team, and some good pitching so they deserved it. Dad, MK and I stayed up to watch the game.

Since coming back to Maine, I've gone to class and yeah that's it. I've tried to do some writing, but nothing has come to me. The biggest news I have is my TV shows. I caught up on Journeyman, I really like that show. It's interesting, and of course it has Kevin McKidd in it. I would watch him read the phone book if he would give that glare of his once in awhile. CSI Miami is still good, Law and Order SVU was reruns... er, but tomorrow is a new CSI!!! WOOHOO!!!! So love that show. Sara also said yes to Grissom to getting married!! AHHHHH. So exciting.

The Boosh starts soon, as does a new show Golf Wars. Golf Wars has Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher in it!!!! YESSSS!!! Noel is also going to be on Nevermind the Buzzcocks, which is sooo exciting. Richard Ayoade is going to be on a special Big Fat Quiz Show, that is amazing!!! All my guys have something new coming up!

Robin Hood though is the most exciting show at the second. I LOVE JONAS ARMSTRONG!!!!!! He's so good at Robin, and I love him. He and Marian are ADORABLE together. I love all their special little moments! Robin is going to find out the spy next episode... ahhhhh. Stupid Alan for betraying Robin. So uncool! And OMG WILL! Last episode he was insane! And Djaq was the one to calm him down, that is so cute. Love Djaq!

So now that I am watching Robin Hood again, episode 5, which of course I've seen a hundred times. I just love Robin Hood so much. The Sheriff is sooooo funny!

Alright that's it for me. See you on the dark side! HAHAHAHA

P.S. I mentioned Richmond in class today. We were talking about Socrates and how one version of him has him being really excited about God. Schmidt asked if we would want to hang out with him, and I said no he seems way too excited about death. I mentioned in The IT Crowd, when Richmond is hanging over Moss's shoulder, and Moss keeps saying that nothing is worth it, and everything is pointless. HHAHAH, it's basically what Socrates was doing.

Now I'm off.

So I'm sitting watching the Red Soxs DESTROY the Rockies. 13-1... DAAAAMMMMNNNN!

But first I thought I would talk about what I did this past weekend... even though the week is almost over. Anyway, Elyse and I went apple picking. It was sooo much fun. I climbed a tree or two to get at the apples, and it was really peaceful to just pick apples and talk. I love apples so freaking much. We ate like 2 apples each while picking them.. hehe. Here are some pics though.

I love to go apple picking!!!!

Let's see other than apple picking, I introduced three more people to the Boosh. Caitlin, Shain and Sarah. They LOVED IT! They laughed so hard at Old Gregg, and all other songs. They love Vince and Howard too! I was sooo happy. We had tea, and other food, what a great evening. I thought at first it might not happy, but thankfully it did!!!

Russell Brand also has a new show, and it's funny. Ponderland, Russell Brand ponders the world. I laughed so hard, probably more than is appropriate too. But then that's British comedy. The show makes me happy, since I do need some fun in my life, after being cut from the hockey team. Yep, I'm not playing this year :( Taking two years off didn't do me any good. I wouldn't give up the year in England for anything though. I'm glad I went, and I'm sure the reason for this insanity will be revealed soon. I hope so.

Ohhh the Soxs are amazing right now. 13-1... DAMN! Beckett has it so easy, he's kicking complete ass. The Red Soxs are batting soo good too! Well 13 runs, yeah amazing. Go Soxs!

So I'm sitting on my bed, watching the Red Soxs, listening to Russell Brand's radio show and ohhh NOEL FIELDING is the guest co-host. Somehow I love Noel Fielding even more. He said the words, "Ice hockey puck", and it was amazing. I want that sound clip, and just listen to it all the time. Ahhhh I love Russell and Noel together. I'm not a big fan of Russell unless he's with Noel, and then he's amazing. They are the Goth Detectives! Oh Noel.

Did you know gay people wear red. It's the sign. So according to Noel, all goths are straight. Appartently in the radio show, they are the only ones not wearing red, they are of course wearing BLACK. Oh I love those two.

Other than listening to Noel, I've had a nice Boosh weekend. I showed the Boosh to Caitlin, Sarah and Shain. I just met Sarah and Shain last night, but they are fun. They LOVED the Boosh. I was so amazed.

Sorry, but why is David Walliams so popular with anyone? He still annoys from the Big Fat Quiz Show 2006. Ah, they are talking about David Walliams, and I don't get why.

Anyway, back to last night. They loved Old Gregg. I mean, who can't love Old Gregg??? He's so amazing! We watched The Tundra, Old Gregg, Nanageddon, and Killeroo. We laughed so hard. I hadn't seen Killeroo or Nanageddon for awhile, so I laughed soooo hard. Especially when Bob Fossil was dancing. We made Irish tea too, and that was good. I made two pots in my Harrods pot.

Ummm other than the Boosh, school is good. My Honors class is good, I'm still enjoying it. I don't know Advanced Memoir that much, but I didn't have it last week. I was way too excited about that. I spent Wednesday with Shorty watching Black Books, and two episodes of The IT Crowd. Shorty laughed so hard. It was great. I love spreading the love. Creative Writing is so-so, as is Public Speaking. I'm giving a speech tomorrow about the Coconut Orchestra. Should be good times.

Dryland was fun. I did the end of it, the beginning was way too tough on my knee. I biked instead. Tomorrow morning we get on the ice... ahhh nervous. I don't know this coach well, so I'm nervous, and he doesn't know that much about me, expect I have a shitty knee. Not the best impression I want to make.

Oh well. We shall see what happens tomorrow, and next week.

Oh I just watched the newest Robin Hood... DAMN MARIAN! If she isn't careful she will be getting herself killed. Though I bet that in one episode her Dad dies, and she's revealed as the Nightwatchmen, and then Robin has to save her, and then they run into the forest together. Or was that just my dreams talking??? Next week looks interesting, Will loses control. Maybe Djaq can help him... hehe. The kids in this episode were so cute, and Robin was amazing. I love him so much. This season ROCKS!

Alright that's long enough! Back to the Soxs.

Hey

Just thought I'd post saying I'm home for October break!!! Very excited about being home, so missed my mother's cooking!! We had birthday cake too, and I got a few presents. Hogans Season 6 (YEAH!), a fiction book about Rome, one about England, and one about a dog. Um my favorite things in the world. Now I'm sitting here, watching the Red Soxs with my parents. I just iced my knee for the night. It's doing better, I skated today. It started to hurt about an hour into skating, but then I haven't been on it that much. It's all good. I sucked at hockey today, Irv yelled at me, but whatever. I know I sucked.

So TV has been good. Loving CSI so bad. I want more Sara and Grissom, though that relationship might be over since Sara is switching to the swing shift. So uncool. I love the two of them together, they are just so cute. I loved when Ecklie asked Grissom how long he and Sara have been together, and he said, "9 years." How sweet that he starts it at their first meeting. Ohhh Grissom! The rest of the episode was good, I love Greg. He pretended to know all about Sara and Grissom. Hehe.

CSI Miami was good too. Um this whole thing with H's son is interesting. I'm excited to see where this will go, and if the kid will accept H. I would. Sooo love Miami, always so action packed, and H is amazing. Hope Ryan gets reinstated soon.

Law and Order SVU and CI were both good. Love Eliot and Goren SO MUCH! AHHHHHHH! Cannot help myself. Goren was so freaking good in the first episode. Eliot wasn't in the latest episode that much, it made me sad.

Didn't see Journeyman since I can't get it to work. That makes me sad.

Hollyoaks is as always amazing, and I cannot wait for more.

Robin Hood STARTS TOMORROW!!! RUNS AROUND ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!

Bowl

So since I was in England and I saw the finale of CSI, I have been waiting for this day! September 27, not just my birthday but the day CSI Season 9 premiered. I needed to know if Sara was alive or dead. I love her and Grissom together, they are just so cute. I love Grissom, and for him to find happiness, is amazing. I love Lady Heather episodes, cause she is great, and their relationship is soo complex. But Sara and Grissom is sweet and cute, and omg I sound like a girl.

Anyway, last night, I was on my bed, with my busted knee, all set, and I was not disappointed. But now I hear that Sara is leaving the show in November, and that does not please me. WHY! Come on!

I just remembered, the preview for next week, Mr. Asshole asks how long they are been intimate, and Sara replies 2 years, and Gris replies 9. OMG! How freaking sweet! Love him so much.

TV week went well, love CSI Miami of course. Journeyman looks interesting, and will continue to watch that show. I flipped out over Hollyoaks... that show is just too exciting for me. The reunion of Max and OB should be happening soon, sooo exciting. Love those two guys, and little Tom. It's coming up to where I saw it in England, but I'll probably rewatch the shows.

Alright that's all I got, time to go watch some hockey.

Bowl

Hey,

Okay so if that title does not answer all questions about why I do not post often, I don't know what will. Yes, I am now getting up at 6am to get ready for hockey. Wow my life. I also have dryland at that time too... so I'm up and running at 7am. EW!

I mean I love hockey, it's great, and as soon as I get on the ice I'm okay with being up at 7am for it, it's just the time between getting up and getting on the ice that kills me. I've been going to bed wicked early, so I've been sleeping just fine, but still it's not to my liking.

Hockey has been good, getting back into the routine of playing at this high level, it's very different than the woman's league. Gee shock. I'm considered half a returner, so the other day I had to be on the team with the freshmen when we did freshmen vs. returners. We only lost like 4-2, and I scored one of the goals. It was okay.

Dryland is kicking my butt, but then I hate running. I give 120% I feel, so I'm happy with that, but who wants to run? Not me. Some of the freshmen have been skipping Friday, which makes me angry cause it's still early, and we are going this early for them. They are the ones who scheduled their classes in the morning, so argh to them.

Class has been fine. This kid in Honors keeps looking at me, it's so funny. We kinda flirt, I think, over The Iliad, so we shall see what happens. We are done with Troy, and moving onto Sappho. Haha. I love that class though, it's so fun. We just sit and talk about the different stories, it's like being in England.

I also have Public Speaking with Pete, and some of the baseball guys. I will have to give my speech soon, sooo looking forward to that. It's going to be about England of course.

Speaking of England, Kara, one of the transfers said that I should start enjoying Maine, and basically forget about England. That it doesn't do any good to live in the past, and long for my flat mates. Not sure why she feels she gets to say this stuff to me, I've only known her for like 2 weeks, and how does she know I'm bothered by the fact that I am not in England? I've been doing the staring off in the distance thing, but only because I've been thinking about a story. Yeah I miss my flat mates, but I know I'm not in England. I do miss it, but it doesn't effect me that much. I was very bothered by her telling me this, I mean she has no right. She doesn't know me. I told Elyse, she think she's full of shit. Go Elyse.

I saw the Cashman's yesterday. Cash is playing in a Woman's Tournament, and they came up to see her play. It was sooo good to see them, I've missed the Cashman's!! Shannon is living in Philippi, which I was not aware of.


Alright enough for now,
Bowl

Hey

So watching the Red Soxs play the Jays right now, but yeah the game just ended. So no CSI or Law and Order SVU tonight... how will I survive? I have class late on Wednesday... err screwing with my TV. I need my daily dose of CSI and Law and Order SVU every night. It's like a drug.

Anyway so class. Honors and Advanced Memoir on Wednesday. Honors was fun, we discussed The Iliad and The Apology. It was great, we just sat around and talked. Someone made fun of Hector for running around the city instead of fighting... er to him. It was Pete. Hector is brave and wonderful.

Advanced Memoir was interesting. Shorty and Heather are in the class with me. I knew Shorty would be there, but Heather was a surprise. A good one though. She drove me back to Gorham after class. I love to write so this will be cool. I'm doing so much writing it's actually a little insane. Oh well.

Off to finish my tea.

So it's been about four weeks since I last wrote. Yeah it's been a long time. OPPS! Sorry.

My life though has been the gym, St. B's, and some hockey.

I'm at school now though, and I just finished packleading. THANK GOD! Pack Leading was fun, but by the end it got sooo tiring. Sunday was a 15 hour day, and then today we played mother to the freshmen by bringing them to different events aka brunch and the involvement fair.

I have a room in Philippi though, a little single. It's not bad, small and the set up sucks, but I'm making the best of it.

The coolest thing that has happened though is The IT Crowd is back for the second season. YES!! It's amazing! Matt Berry is in it, and yes I want his body. He comes in the second episode, and what a classic entrance. It's his father's funeral, and all a sudden the doors opened, and he is there and he yells, "FFFFFAAAAATTTTTTTTHHHHHHHEEEEEEERRRRRR!" I had tears in my eyes. Of course the line before that scene is just as good. Roy comforts the widow and says, "I'm sorry for your loss, move on." HAHAHAHAH! Amazing! The first episode is great too, all Roy says through most of the show is, "I'm disabled." It really gets close to crossing the line, but it's just so great.
I LOVE THE IT CROWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey

So I've been around... just not posting here.

I was in Maine. I was doing Orientation, I'm one of the leaders and it was a good time. We were up REALLY early, like waking up at 6am, and at 7am we were all cheery, and excited to be USM Students. I do enjoy Orientation, I mean I like the interaction with the new students and their parents, well not all the parents. I got to lead one of the USM 102 sessions, and though I was scared when I began, I think it went well. They seemed to understand what I was saying. I got to lead it because the advisor did not show up. It was Jean, and Janice overbooked her... so yeah. I did it!! That was on Wednesday, and it was SO HOT! Ahhh I'm surprised I didn't die from the heat.

It was an interesting group. There was more of us this year, and it was very Greeky. Casey, Nick, Morgan and Heather were all just trying to get as many numbers as they could. I talked about England a lot... well I couldn't really help it.

I also met Leann Dodge, who is now my new favourite person. She loves Harry Potter, and is really jealous that I met Daniel Radcliffe and saw Equus. So is Morgan, but only because she loves Daniel and think he's hot. Um. I wouldn't go that far.

I also have my Harry Potter book!!! I got it in Maine at midnight with Rachel, Shannon, Morgan, Barbie, Heather, and Barbie's family. It was great. A lot of people dressed up, and of course Morgan and Heather got pics with all of them. We had a few drinks at Ruby Tuesdays which was fun. It was great to hang out with everyone. Waiting for the book was hell, and kind of confusing. The set up really wasn't that good. But I got it. Rachel and I went down to Hampton Beach and sat on the deck all weekend and read our books. I didn't finish it the first day either, but at like 1pm on Sunday. I'm so proud of myself. When I wasn't reading I had a Gilmore Girls marathon with Aunt Liz. SOO MUCH FUN!


Bowl

Alright, so I'm finally ready to give my review. I saw it opening day of course, it was a bit of luck that I got to go, so let me tell you the story.

I'm in Maine right now, for Orientation, and I thought how the heck am I seeing this??? I forgot that Rachel is a big fan, so at training, Lisa, my boss mentioned that Rachel was going! I talked to Rachel at once, and I got on board for seeing Harry Potter. Allison said she wanted to go too, as did Elyse. Elyse wanted to go just to hang out with us. We agreed to meet 15 minutes before the show began, which I knew was a mistake, but I let it go.

THE PLACE WAS MORE THAN PACKED! There was no room to park. As soon as I saw it, I wasn't surprised, though Elyse and Allison acted like the world was coming to an end. It's opening night of Harry Potter! In the midnight showings it made like 12 million. So we drove around trying to find a spot. Rachel and her friend parked across the street, which I suggested more than once. We found Rachel, and she gave us our tickets. But time was running out to find a spot, and I had to hit the bathroom, so I excused myself from the car. I have my before the movie routine, and it needed to be done so I could enjoy Harry Potter. We ended up going into the theater, and it was so packed. Some people were standing, and we couldn't find 5 seats together, or even 3. I suggested more than once to just grab a seat anywhere, and I found one so sat down. I watched Rachel and her friend, I thought they were going to have to sit on the steps, at which I would have joined them if they did that. I would have felt horrible sitting in a seat with them standing. But they found seats close to the screen, but at least they found them.

So the movie. It wasn't bad, but it could have been longer, more scenes put in, and Harry could have trashed Dumbledore's office. I would have been fine with that! BUT NO! No office trashing, and he didn't yell as much as I thought he would. Daniel Radcliffe was good, he had me in tears for the whole movie. Well okay that's a lie, but I started crying when he ran after Dumbledore when Umbridge almost made Trelawney leave Hogwarts. The desperation in his voice, and running after Dumbledore brought me to tears! Good job Daniel Radcliffe. I almost cried when he first saw Sirius, but for a whole different reason. I'm not happy with the way Sirius died, I stopped crying for that, because that's not the way it happens. Why would you do something like that? Kill him the way he dies! But I started crying as soon as he died, because Harry once again brought me to tears, and I didn't stop until the credits.

The music... AMAZING! I wish for a little bit more of Hedwig's Theme, but it was good. That's partly what did it, the music made me bawl. It's really good, and I was very nervous over the music. I had not really heard of the composer, and I love John Williams and Patrick Doyle so much.

The trio was SO good, but Gary Oldman wins in my book. Well he's Sirius, so he almost wins by default. I thought he plays a very good Sirius, and his words to Harry before he dies, "OH WOW! When he says that Harry has done beautifully, and let him take over... oh SIRIUS! I love him so much. I just love how he is always on Harry's side, no matter what. When he called Harry James... Oh, that almost killed me. I was happy to see the argument between Mrs. Weasley and Sirius in the movie, the one where they argue over Harry. Why couldn't he be in the room though? COME ON! But when Harry says that he wants to be in the Order, and the wink that Sirius gives him... oh heart breaking.

Umbridge was good. The detentions were heart breaking, when she told Harry that he deserves the pain. Oh wow. Fred and George were SO funny, and I did like their exit, but I still wish Peeves was in the movies. I would have loved to hear them say, "Give her hell for us Peeves." Is that too much to ask??

The trio was good. Hermione, as always, was good. The scene where she just breaks out laughing, as very interesting, I thought for a moment I was watching a blooper. But it's good to see scenes with just the three of them. They have grown up so well, and are always improving.

Dumbledore, well they could have done more with him. The scene where he leaves Hogwarts could have been longer, and more true to the book. That's an amazing scene, and I would have liked it more like the book. At least in that scene though they used some lines from the book, that's always good, but not common. Rowling writes very good dialogue, I wish more of it was used. Snape of course was funny.

What was with the memory though? It happened, and Harry didn't think again of it! It destroys him in the book! COME ON! ARGH! I wanted that to be longer, and feature the boys a little bit more, and of course Lily. I didn't want snippets! They had time to do so much more with this whole movie! Two hours and 18 minutes is not a long time!

So overall, it wasn't bad, but it had it's faults. I really, really wish they had Harry tearing apart Dumbledore's office. I know it was filmed. But ARGH! Oh well. Good job to the director. What is it about the ending though... why is something always screwed up there? Why couldn't there be more explanations? I really, really wish there was in the scene with Harry and Dumbledore at the end. Harry is so angry throughout the book/movie, why leave out his last big angry scene??? COME ON! I so wanted that line, "Then I'm sick of being human!" Or whatever Harry yells. ARRGGHHH!

Try again in Movie 6, maybe this ending won't be screwed up. It better not be since this is a big one!

So last night we returned from Cape Cod. My grandmother has a cottage down there. It was all right, my Dad and I worked on the roof for three days, and I helped him with his other jobs. There's a man who doesn't know how to take a vacation. The house always needs some work done, so when he comes down he does it. I'm not sure his brothers do much for the house, when they take a vacation they really take one. Oh well.

Samwise came down on Thursday. My grandmother was with us, but she asked to be brought home, so my Mom did, and returned with the puppy. I love having him down, and I'm sure he loves to be there. He sleeps on my bed when he comes down, he doesn't have a bed of his own. When we first brought him down, my Mom thought he might sleep better if he had something familiar around him, so I let him sleep on my bed. He's a bed hog though, it is really funny. I don't mind though, he's just so cute.

I go to Maine on Wednesday for Orientation. I am really excited to go, it's a fun, but a hard two weeks. I enjoy it though. I'm not planning on coming home until it's over, I'll probably go to Hampton Beach on the weekends and stay at my Aunt's place. I did that last summer, and it was really cool. I got Shorty to come with me.

There is one thing that helped me with the thought of returning home from England, and it was hockey. After last night though I'm not sure it will be enough. It's hot as hell here, so I figured I would go to the rink early, sit and think, and cool down. So I got there, and sat up in Rink 2 and taped my stick. Of course, as soon as I was finished, I sat and was listening to some music, and I looked up at the game to see someone on one of the benches waving their arms trying to get my attention. It was Gail, my old hockey coach. She yelled/made motions asking if I wanted to play with them since they were really short. Well I can never say no to hockey, so I agreed, and I got their key, and dressed as quickly as I could.

On the ice though, I played D, and I'm usually pretty good at it, but I was off the whole night. Things didn't improve in the second game at all, everything went bad... passes were horrible, the ice sucked, and we got destroyed. The whole time, I was thinking about London. I was getting so angry because I want to be there, and I know I'm not going back yet, so I should just accept it and move on, but I can't. I love the States, but I love England, and I'm torn. Hockey I thought would help, but it's not. I was sitting in the locker room after the game thinking about London. The women were joking that I was sad about no alcohol, and I said no it's withdrawal. Well it somewhat is... from London. I miss it so much. I miss the little things, and of course London. I fell in love hard and fast with London, and even in the first few visits I knew it would be hard to leave. Well I feel like a part of me is missing...

So yeah, welcome home. Can I go back now?
