Potter fans — what’s up with all the question mark broughaha? Is it a hoax? Is it something real? Do we know what it is yet?
Dallas people — so if not the midnight showing, when are we planning on seeing Star Wars?
Gah, I fail! How is it that I left “Anansi Boys” off my “Fandom Dates” sidebar listing and my Summer Guide? I fail, and you all fail for not picking up on it.
10 DAYS LEFT until I see Serenity! The last day of double digits! Just 252 hours! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Beth makes some excellent points about the stupidity of the MPAA in her LJ. In that same vein, in a deliberate gesture of snook cocking, does anyone know where I can find episodes of Veronica Mars and the new Dr. Who for download?
(I would like to take this opportunity to again declare my love for the phrase “cock a snook“. If I were to compile a list of the Best Phrases Ever, it would definitely be near the top. So useful, so economical, so vuagely dirty-sounding yet in reality so innocent!)
And unrelated, but this Metaquote makes me laugh a lot.
Has anyone made an icon with Anakin/Vader that says “Sith Happens”? Because if not, I totally disown fandom for having FAILED.
In other news, Mein Schlienen, do you want to dress up for Serenity? Rachel is going as River and Cherise is waffling between Zoe and Inara (I’m pushing for the former, Rachel the latter). I was thinking I’d be Kaylee, as no one needs two Rivers (and I always feel kind of odd lusting over Simon when dressed as his sister), but then I figured if you wanted to dress up as well, you’d make an adorable Kaylee. Or you would make a fantastic Saffron, or even Jayne should you desire. (It is, after all, a girl’s name.) I love all my Firefly women, and I’ll gladly take whoever’s left.
Harry Potter fancode! Because we are dorkish and proud.

Melissa (my newly-graduated older sister) stopped by this evening to watch TV and munch on leftovers from last night’s festivities. We watched “Arsenic and Old Lace” together, which is one of my favourite plays. Yay for Turner Classic Movies! It entertains me that the love interest is played by an actress named Priscilla Lane, when I was named after a woman named Priscilla Lane. Not the same person, obviously, but still. We Priscillas are a rare breed.
Anyway, this had me in a ridiculous gigglefit. A re-dubbed version of the “Frodo Awakens” scene, ganked from Indy. Puts me in the mind of the hilarious Wizard People, Dear Reader, which will be screened at my house this summer, mark my words. Ikkle seniors, when would be a good time to get together?
Serenity in 11 days! *bounces*
And OH MY GOSH, there needs to be a screening of “Wizard People” at “The Witching Hour”! Dear lord, that would be hilarious…
*squeals* My sister just graduated! Eeee, yay! Off to help out with the party setup now.
Blogger word verification: huh? Is this going to be a recurring thing, because that’s just annoying.
12 days until Serenity!
