10:01 pm: Supernatural...
WHY couldn't they just do away with Jo Harville? The writers missed a perfect opportunity. Sam should have hit her a little harder.

Speaking of Sam...shouldn't he have been a little more remorseful about shooting Dean and beating up on him? Yeah, I know he was possessed but Dean needed some TLC and Sam acted like it was just a normal job. There's Dean with a bullet hole still in his shoulder, driving. Hello Sammy...

I've been reading rumors about 2 new girls for the third season. I hope they're bad and not meant to be love interests. I still gag every time I think of Jo and Sam angst enough over Madison. They don't have time for girls, they need to be together for Dean's last year and not distracted.

11:35 pm: Order of the Phoenix...some SPOILERS...
Well, I hadn't planned on going, I figured I'd wait a few days and then catch an afternoon show but a friend called me up and said come with me. We bought tickets early, I still cannot believe they weren't sold out, ate dinner and then went back to stand in line to wait until the earlier show came out. We were first seated and in our favorite spot. After the movie began time sped along very quickly! But then I think this one was not as long as the others, right? Which seems strange since the book's longer.

The woman who played Dolores Umbridge was perfect for the part. All creepy and wrapped in a Pepto Bismol package of pink. She reminds me of someone though and I can't think who and it's irritating the shit out of me.

I loved Luna Lovegood, wish there'd been time for all her scenes from the book.

Harry was suitably older and darker but how could he not be with everything that had happened to him. I didn't like Cho at all, too wimpy, but then I didn't like her in the book either.

Ron and Hermione...were just kind of there. As good support for Harry of course and seen during a lot of the film but they were more background this time. If you blinked any you'd miss Draco Malfoy. Hagrid's role and his giant half-brother's was greatly reduced from the book. The giant wasn't scary enough. Ginny was around to give strange linggering looks at Harry but she didn't say much.

The teachers weren't shown as much, not even Snape and there was quite a bit skipped when he was giving Harry his special lessons. I would like to have seen more of the flashbacks with the younger Snape and James and Lily.

Dumbledore I like. He's more human in this one, you can see his frustration and anger at the situation on his face.

The Death Eaters...how can Lucious always manage to look so pretty? And that black suit he had on during the fight was perfect. Bellatrix Lestrange was suitably creepily beautiful and madly insane.

The Dursley...ewwww. He's fatter, the boy's still a big lump, and Petunia in her shorty shorts was just a nightmare. Poor Harry.

I like Tonks but she didn't get to say much. Sirius I very much liked in this one but oh how many scenes were cut out between him and Harry. Kreacher wasn't shown enough for anyone to be able to realize how truly evil he was and where was the painting of the crazy ancester with the filthy mouth?

I know I've complained a lot but it was still an enjoyable movie as long as you don't keep thinking on how much got left out. The book's what's important this month though.

08:30 am: I'm still here...
This journal's not dead, just on hiatus for a while. Work is killing me and what little sense I have is concentrated on it. I go to work, I come home, eat, go to sleep and then start over again. But I'll get a breajk soon. The new system's about finished and everything won't be so stressed or on a deadline.

08:48 am: Storming today...
I really don't care for how my journal looks. Every time I look at it...I just feel waves of unhappiness. I'll have to change it when I have a little more time. I really don't like the light blue. Reminds me of baby shower colors or something. I want darker, richer colors, I think. Maybe I'd actually post more then.

Well, it's suppose to storm this afternoon and on into the night. That'll put a glitch in the outdoor activities planned after work. I don't really mind though, as long as it doesn't get very cold again.

My mother visited for a while. I was left with the lingering feeling that I didn't entertain enough. She still doesn't look well either. Looking at pictures from just a couple of years ago, I can see how she's aged in that short time.

I'm getting nowhere on my last story. Of course, I always feel I'm in a rush. Which is not exactly true...it's more an inability to concentrate. I'm unfocused on EVERYTHING. Sometimes I have to actually stop and hope whatever it was I was suppose to be doing finally pops into my brain. I do that more and more lately. I wonder if that's normal? It must be a result of stress from work and an inability to sleep well no matter how tired I am.
