"Si on changeait de jeux, si on jouait à vivre..."

In a less squeeful post, we went and saw HP again last night. I have still not recovered from the Snape love, and the cuffs love (will icon very soon). Possibly it's actually gone worse. But while on a first screening I managed to cling to the liking I have of Hermione, on the second viewing it is absolutely impossible. In this movie, she is unbearable. Absolutely unbearable.

Have watched Blood - the Last Vampire, a fairly good anime that I bought due to its cheapness on CDiscount. Is it the pilot for a series? Because it ought to be. Am very intrigued by the interaction between David and Saya - the bonds that are born out of forced cooperation, I suppose.

Am also going through Profit again and loving it. Oh how I'm loving it. The ninetiesness is rather amusing, now, but it does not detract from the script. Such good scripts. I can only deplore the lack of audio commentaries.

We went to an American grocery store yesterday (thanks for the address heikki_cheren!) and bought Dr. Pepper (hurray!), cream cheese, crackers, mango chutney and bagels. Hmmmcreamcheese. Can't wait to taste mango chutney, too, which I don't think I have before. I'll trust Joey, and the "mango" bit, that it's something to look forward too. And then we stopped by this English library and I kinda couldn't help myself and bought the Chronicles of Narnia and the Saga of the Icelanders. Two huge books. Very pricy. But I truly couldn't help myself.

Which incidentally means that my Icelandic story is officially on hiatus until I'm done reading the Icelandic saga and I can rework it all accordingly. Since I've just started on the Saga of the Grail (well, I'm a good 100 pages into it and Merlin has just been born... worst is? I'm really enjoying it), I think the hiatus isn't about to end. I'm such a sucker for myths.

Actually it's about the Alias post but I didn't want to read the spoilers. :p Do you think I can skip 5x02 and 5x03? Because my parents' computer still has this huge virus, and I can't download these episodes anyway (problem with the tracker or something), but I have all the other episodes, so do you think I can watch ep 4 and so on? I figured I could, since S5 doesn't seem that good, but I wanted to ask you. :p
And I want to see Saaaaaark! :)

As much as I know, it's not the pilot of a serie (and hadn't mentionned it to you years ago when I watched it? I know I tried to get people to see it then). There is a manga, though, and it's not the same story, it's set at a different time period (and weirdly enough, I saw it again two days ago at someone's). I can't remember which one I liked best.

Edit: Oh... I made a quick search... It took them a bunch of years, but they are now producing a serie, it started airing on October 8, according from Wikipedia. It's called Blood+.
For the moment, the translated manga might be a bit easier to find, though.

Oh, Emma!Hermione is completely unbearable in that movie. The only scene I can stand her in is during the Yule Brawl... during every other part, I kind of just wanted to punch her in the face. Though I guess she wasn't as bad as she was in PoA, when she had the main plot device hanging around her neck!

I saw Narnia last night... it was fantastic!! :D
