Shut up - hush your mouth! - can't you hear you talk to loud? No I can't hear nothing 'cause I got my head up in the clouds. Dum dum didum... I love this song.
I was at the zoo yesterday, with my mum, dad, sister and her children. I was so sleepy and so tired, 'cause I stayed up way too long the night before. I had slept like three hours. But I love my niece! She's eight, she's cute, she's hilarious and she's smart. Oh, but her brother, six years old, is a freaking maths genius. He's better than me! And I have like, education and stuff... Heh.
Anyway, at the zoo. There was this moose. Scared the shit out of me. We were driving slowly and peacefully through the 'wild-and-possibly-dangerous-animals' park thing, and I was dozing off with my nose squashed against the window, sort of almost looking at some ducks in this pond thing. And then, suddenly, a real, live, HUGE moose just... hops out of the water, not two meters from the cars and my squashed nose. Sheesh. Cool it, moosey. What was he (she?) doing underwater anyway?
And we saw some lions, and cutesy cute lion... kids. And lots of goat-y animals, antiloops, zebras, weird and scary birds, and oh! Dolphins! I almost forgot. The dolphins were amazing. I was at this zoo two years ago, so I had seen the show before, but wow. They're beautiful, the dolphins. One of them, called Flip, is almost 50, and I remember him from when I was little... He seems really clever and all. I believe he's Sweden's most famous dolphin. Heh. [Zoo pics]
Back to HP stuff - Katinka! Have I mentioned lately how much I love Katinka? Beautiful end to Interwoven. And she mentioned me in the author's notes! Whee! Just because I made that Katinka button. Well, I had to make it, hadn't I? Such a great writer as Katinka shouldn't go about without at least one fan button. I love Abby.
Talk about buttons - I finally made some Alanna fan buttons. I've been meaning to do that for AGES, but I didn't have any ideas. This thread at SQ, though, forced me to think of something. Though, er... I didn't. Jaime did. Heh.
Yes yes, they're very much alike, but whatever. I couldn't choose. Must update Voldeobum.net. Must remember where I saved that darned Circe button!
I bought the Snatch DVD... some days ago. That movie is hilarious. "Vare is de stone?" :D Also, Mickey's... accent, or whatever to call it. I can't understand a thing he says. Only "caravan". Hee. And Turkish. I mean, Turkish? What kind of name is that?
And, while I'm on the subject of films, saw a funny little note about Mulholland Drive... "Reviewer's favourite: ... 5. Mulholland Drive. What the hell was that about?." Hee. I must see Mulholland Drive.
I have never posted a survey before, but I suppose there's always a first time. I nicked this one from Leigh.

I'm home again. And it's so boring. *is bored* So, I was IM-ing with Annchen, and she offered me an LJ code, which I accepted... so now I have an LJ. Though I'm not really planning on REALLY using it. Just, you know... so I don't have to leave anonymous (sp?) comments. Yes. 'Cause I luff my blog.
I'm IM-ing with Jaime right now, and if you look at the time when this was posted, you'll notice it's pretty early.
Or late.
Let me tell you, it's late. Trust me.
StereoM: Have you ever wondered why man has a neck. Why isn't the head just squashed directly upon our shoulders?
Jaime: ::snort::
Jaime: That'd look gross
Jaime: And then no one could make fun of football players who have no neck
How true, how true! The infinite wisdom of Jimminy Cwicket.
