00:43: 123456, 123456, trick or treat!

a lot of weird stuff used to happen to me and my friends at 3am. i never understood why 3am was such an eventful time for ... unexplained things, i only knew that it was. watching the exorcism of emily rose shed some light on that. it definitely left me with something. not really a scary movie, but quite painful to watch. poor girl....

friday night out is becoming a bit of a habit among us friends at work. will keeps bugging us to move in already. i'm still waiting for funds, but i'm set on moving, even if the others decide to move to greener pastures out of the country.

so far, i've taken about 15 contacts at work, with a pretty good handling time. i haven't been nervous at all and i'm adjusting fairly well. it's almost like i'm on valium! not that i know what being on v's is like. i have not attempted to speak with an accent. i know it would sound horrible if i start with one thing then slip back to american, so i wouldn't even dare. perhaps i do need a valium. hahahaha.... we get a lot of "bum time," as ix calls it, and it's not stressful. the work itself isn't all that hard either. all good, all good.

15:31: watched the midnight screening of goblet of fire with friends from work after our shift. heads up, movie review below. but for the sake of those who haven't seen it, i won't go into cinematic details and spoil it for you.

having been at work all day, i was surprised to find that i wasn't tired at all. i didn't feel the two and a half hours or so that passed during the movie (of course, the seemingly endless bag of yummy popcorn from the vegan place at gb3 helped). this fourth movie, i think, is the first potter movie that was targeted at fans of the book. by that, i mean it presupposes that you've read the book and understand the little details that weren't fully tackled in the movie. it wasn't as artsy as cuaron's azkaban, but it was similarly dark. nicely done. i did, however, miss john williams. the music didn't have as much character as before.
rupert grint, in my humble opinion, is filling out rather nicely. and i don't care if i'm the only one who thinks so, as every other girl is so enamored with daniel radcliffe. i love the long hair on rupert grint. he's the perfect picture of your average, everyday british "bloke", but with the long hair and the arms and shoulders, he looks almost like a soon-to-be-'70s-rock-demigod. the biggest disappointment in casting, really, is diggory. krum is arguably hotter than cedric diggory. brutish, yes, but not enough to be an unattractive brute. actually, quite a few of the durmstrang boys were hot. speaking of which, the entrance of durmstrang into hogwarts had the same effect on me as the beauxbatons did on the boys. it literally took my breath away. nice theatrics. okay, i'll shut up now. hehe. i just really had to mention the durmstrang thing.

potter fans who named this as their favorite book so far liked the movie a lot, in spite of it having been done by a relatively unknown director. overall, it was a damn good job.

03:58: home from a night out with people from work. fun, but i am extremely tired. we came in to work two hours earlier than usual and left an hour later than expected. we all partied with the other group after work, with our brit instructor footing most of the bill. great guy. learned a lot from him. much better than the other cute but arrogant young brit. anyhow, we had dinner and a few drinks, and some of this, and some of that, and a lot of singing and dancing. we were there long after midnight and sid wanted to celebrate his birthday, so we all decided to head to ice afterwards. took some night shots around gb3 whle we were at it. hope they turn out alright. i luurrrrrv my lc-a.

00:22: work is great. i'm learning so much stuff. our classes were divided into different levels, so our batch is in three different classes. i found it odd at first, but i appreciate it now. i feel like i'm not wasting time going through the same things i've already been taught a hundred times before. also, i may have found a place to move into. it's a pretty sweet deal. the question now is whether i want to move in as early as later this month or wait until after the holidays.

oh yeah, jamming again this sunday! yippee! last time we jammed (for the jazz band) was over two months ago. wow. rusty, for sure. we'll be playing with a new drummer, someone i met at college through jersey girl and her brother. he seems really interested in joining us. a great many thanks to jersey girl for forwarding his contact info! i only hope he'll be fine with the weirdness of the band. but then again, they all went to the same high school so it shouldn't be too bad. i was hoping to get my friend paul to play for us, but i heard from him a little too late. i'm really excited about this. i've got a lot of stuff to do before the weekend, though. pick out songs, burn discs, work on some 3 unfinished songs. another one needs tweaking, too. let's hope inspiration strikes.

23:39: call me evil.

if you were to die, i would not honor you in any way. i'd pray for you, yes. but i would not go to your funeral if i had somewhere else to be. i might not even go to any day or night of your wake. in fact, the moment i hear the news of your death, i would most probably smile. and snicker.

i wish you would die. i could use a good reason to smile.
