The Philisophical Works of a Pseudo Author

THERE ARE TICKETS! I LOVE YOU KATE! This is going to be the best premiere EVER. And that includes the RotK one, which happened during the weirdest week of my life.

::dances around the office in public:: Okay, yeah, so no one else is here right now. There's windows!

In other news, I saw Gambit last night. Cameron Diaz was surprisingly good and funny. Alan Rickman looks entirely too good naked for his age. And what can one say about Colin Firth that hasn't already been said? It was laugh-out-loud funny and I did not see the twist coming at the end. I love art heist movies. They make me feel better about my career choice.

Lastly, I guess I'm going to have to see BD2 on my own. I have to see it because I've seen the others, and I hate leaving movie series unfinished. I even saw the last Spiderman even though it sucked. And Matrix. And X-Men. And the 3 Star Wars that should never have been made. So I feel like I need to, in order to get on with my life. I think I'll go to a cheap afternoon showing on Monday and sit in a corner and try not to me embarrassed (I hate going to movies on my own!)

And in still other news, I guess I'm going to have to see Les Mis, even though listening to Anne Hathaway sing is not my favourite thing in the world, and though I love Hugh Jackman, he is not Colm Wilkinson. The sacrifices we make.

I have so much travel in the next 5 weeks! It ends off a very well-travelled year, I guess. And exciting travel plans for next year (*cough*Camino*cough*RingCon*coughcoughcough*).

I need Hobbit icons. Like now. So I can abuse them for a whole month before the xmas ones get used.

Also, seriously, the City of Bones trailer makes me so proud! What an odd feeling.

I am not kidding. Scholastic has just announced a joint book deal between Cassie Clare and Holly Black for a 5-book series about a teenage boy (Callum Hunt...best name ever) and magicians. This is only topped by the even more awesome news of the books - the first to be released in 2014 - to be turned into movies! I'm only a wee bit jealous of that sort of authorial power. But the series will be amazing, of course! The next Harry Potter? Just in time to get the next young generation of boys reading again...!

This makes me even more excited about the Mortal Instruments movie(s). Can't wait. Also, I really really hope we get the Infernal Devices as movies too. Because Victorian London AND Shadowhunters? There is NOTHING better in the universe.

I is a happy fangirl today.

Also, there might have been a good day too. Teeth and eyes are both healthy and I didn't have to pay for either! On a slightly less happy note, having spent the day in the town I grew up in, I don't recognise ANY OF IT. Seriously, even the schools have been rebuilt. Not to mention the houses. The shops. Every road that had empty land on it. So long Oakville, you are the centre for hubris and greed now. I like you even less now.
