I've christened my LiveJournal Terrance.
By the way, that was Tom, the comment in yesterday's post.
Drove a lot today. Also, I have to agree with Leo Getts on this one. They fuck you with the mobile phones.
You lot remember Leo Getts, Joe Pesci's character in Lethal Weapon? Well, in Lethal Weapon 4 he has a good bitch at the phone companies, and I think I finally understand why. I happen to live in a small pocket of absolutely *no* reception, for some bizarre reason. I can't see any reason why there would be no reception here, but there you go. So today I missed a call at about 5:54 from...someone. I realised I'd missed said call at about 7:45 pm. I had 15 cents worth of credit left, so I tried to check the message. I got as far as "Hi Katie, this is..." "You have no more credit." I swore, loudly, prompting a good long lecture from my drunken father. Since my parents had both had alcohol, neither was permitted to accompany me (on my marvellous L-plates) to the local...what's it called? that place where they refuel your car...to get some more credit. And you can't pay for it online. Or over the phone with someone else's credit card. I ended up trying to walk to the service station (that's it!) at about 10 pm. But it was dark and cold and raining, so I gave up. Moral of this story: They *do* fuck you with the mobile phones. And I still don't know who called me. I tried Tom, Colin and Ash, it wasn't Nutty or Adam, coz I'd recognise their voices. No more ideas.
Meanwhile, yay for the rain!
And it's official--we've got Michael Gambon as Dumbledore, kiddywinks. Fortunately they're not trying that ridiculous idea of digitally recreating Richard Harris. Creepy. Oh and Sir Cadogan is being played by Paul Whitehouse. No word yet on Trelawney. There are a questions about the lack of casting of Trelawney. How they can leave her out is beyond me, she's fairly important (spoilers) for the repeated Grim sightings, predicting Harry's death, and her actual vision close the the end of the book. Also, Harry and Ron are *hilarious* in her classes.
"Ahh, when there are two Venuses, it is a short sign that a midget in glasses is being born, Harry."
"I can see what this means, it's going to be very foggy tonight." (Ron, re: crystal balls.) Most of the comic relief in book 3 is thanks to those classes :)
Don't eat the crayons, no matter how pretty the colours are.
