Golden Compass

I started listening to 'Golden Compass' yesterday. I'm up to chapter 5, I believe. The book is narrated by Philip Pullman, but they have extra voices for the characters. It's sort of weird, but it works.

I just watched the Trailer and the new Preview from Comic Con (which shows pretty much all the stuff I have read so far, so that was cool!) I hope this movie is good. I can't wait to read the other two books and get to the more controversial subjects haha.

Oh, and I took the little "Meet your Daemon" test on the site. Below the cut are my results but then it has a questionaire for my friends to answer to see if I got the right Daemon!

( So click and see! )

lazy sunday

well, I've done...not a whole lot today. I woke up around 11:30, watched an old Colbert Report while I ate blueberry muffins. Took a shower (the pink hair spray washed out really easily!) and lounged around a bit. Then I ran over to Target and got a black t-shirt and some puffy fabric paint to make my Weird Sisters t-shirt for tomorrow. I also drank one Mike's Hard Lime and a margarita, which slowed down my t-shirt productivity a bit (but did make me worry less about it). While working on the t-shirt, I watched the first Harry Potter. When I finished that, I popped in LotR: FotR - which, of course, I'm still watching now.

btw - if you watch the first Harry Potter and then pop in LotR, you begin to notice way too many similarities, mostly between Sauron and Voldemort. I prefer Sauron as a villian, he's just evil. That's it. He doesn't have any committees, or government re-structuring. He's just evil. 24/7, just wants to take over the world 100%. If it wasn't for his jewelry fetish, things would have gone nicely for him. But, alas, he loved goooooooooooold....rings.

I also have to laugh because, when I babysat Skylor, I remember him freaking out during the first 5 minutes of 'Oliver & Company'. Now, he watches LotR on a regular basis. BWahahahaha! I can't wait to scar show lil' Max these movies. Of course, I guess it's at least 5 years before he can even pretend to handle such things :\ *sigh*

My t-shirt is drying. I managed to get both sides done, hopefully it will be wearable tomorrow. The front says "Weird Sisters" and has a crudely drawn witch hat and guitar. The back says "1994 Wizard Tour" and lists a few random places from the books. (according to the HP Lexicon, 1994 was the year GoF happened, so I included Hogwarts on the tour!) I'll wait a couple hours and take the hairdryer out and see if I can help it along.

I'm so excited about our program tomorrow. I bet I can't fall asleep. And when I do finally fall asleep, I bet I have some sort of "OMGLIBRARYONFIRE" kind of dream. Because my brain is evil.

Galadriel's handing out gifts, I must go now (I <3 Cate Blanchett. I watched 'Elizabeth' again this month, hadn't seen it since it first came out on DVD, forgot out fantastic it is. Plus, my uncle once said he thought I sorta looked like her, so I have to love her hehe).
