In Theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, in Practice there is.
t00bs Ahoy: It's be eons since I've last blogged...and I've only barely managed to drag my sorry ass back here again. And since the last blog entry...I've scurried through countless 'songs of the moment' and 'daily whinges'...I really havn't the foggiest clue as to how I'm going to cover everything which has happened to me, every thought and internal struggle/debate that has implanted itself in my mucacious mind. To all my adoring fans out there (*sneer*) I'll put in the usual amount of effort to bore the ass off you all as per usual.
Daily Whinge: I'm bored. So totally, devestatingly bored. Far be it for me to whinge too loudly since I'm just too darn lazy to go out and do something with my life. Honestly, the only thing I ardently wish to do is to tie a rope around my two feet and throw myself off some platform metres and metres from the ground...more commonly known as bungee jumping. Since sky diving is a little out of my reach financially I'll have to content myself with that as a close subsititute in one of my random attempts to create thrills and spills for myself.
Second whinge is these Nicola Finetti pants I saw in this boutique along Kings Street. I swear I hate Ramit lots and lots for making me try them on. If I hadn't tried them on I wouldn't have fallen in love with them. Now I won't rest until I've devised a cunning scheme to convince myself that I infinitely need those pants. Oh woe is me! Somehow starting a lemonade stall doesn't seem like a silly idea after all.
And I am disgusted through and through with the taste of tequila! I've been living with this hyped up image of tequila for years and years. It was the uber drink for me. And after mandurah...the romance of shooting up with tequila has faded into...that over yonder place...egged on perhaps with the missing lemon. And speaking of Mandurah. I can't say I had a fooking marvellous time...and I wasn't bored shitless either. I came down looking for a wild, head-spinning time and instead found that endearing walks along the beach with oneself is quite yoga-istic. Casting 2min noodles and packets and packets of junk food aside, leaving the place felt like I was escaping from a new age organic nudist boot camp. What I got most out of going south was one thing: I love the beach. With a passion. And that's probably the only thing which would keep me in Perth. Our pristine, uncrowded beaches. Pretty funny all this coming from an Asian who walks around town covering her forehead with a newspaper or text book to keep her forehead/face from going brown in the middle of winter.
Fed up utterly with being a crabby, mean and pessimistic wench. However have nothing to move on to so will continue to be so until something better comes along.
Song of the Moment: Boys of Summer - both the original and cover.
Draco Update Still can't be stuffed reading DV10...well read halfway and tried to get LuLu to tell me the rest. But LuLu is just too impossible and stood her ground and told me to go read it myself. Have decided to protest and rally against and on account of her meaness and refuse to read any further until someone tells me what happens. Cookies for DV11 are out. Am feverently praying for Draco's Death...because I don't want Ginny to get him. Am too loyal to Hermione to stand that sorta shit which cassie might dish out. May protest against that happening by refusing to read DV11 also.
Saw CoS. Fawkes was a real joke. No glittery gold bits around him when he flies and he just looks like a munted mechanical bird...yeah...hyrid of a penguin and parrot...has nothing vaguely resembling a noble and graceful creature - which a phoenix ought to be and look like. I love Harry even more with this movie though. If only he were say....10 years older?! And Tom Felton doesn't half get on my nerves as he did in PS. And after reading this interview (below) and assuming he answered these questions himself w/o input from another person of high intellect...I'm impressed. I am torn between which character I adore more. Potter vs. Malfoy. The eternal struggle. Another character I was way impressed with was Lucius Malfoy. When I first glimpsed him in the ads...I wasn't too thrill in truth...but during the movie and in particular in the end...he's definitely got the goods.
What was the best thing about working on "Harry Potter"?
Finishing it! It's one of those things where you go, "Thank god it's all over!" and then you get to see the final production. But working with everyone else was great fun. Working with big actors and realising that they were just normal people who've got an incredible talent was just a great experience.
How much gel do you have to put in your hair?
Tell me about it! It's not gel, it's cement! About a pot a day.
Is it fun playing a baddie?
Definitely. It felt a bit different really, because when you think of "Harry Potter", you think it's a nice children's film starring nice characters. But I'm the one that goes against all that. But I think Draco is always going to be a real nasty little snob really!
Do you think that Harry and Draco can ever be friends?
Hopefully not, it'll ruin my part! No definitely not, I couldn't see it happening.
What was it like working with Daniel Radcliffe?
He's a very mischievous child. He was always causing havoc. He's on-set the most and so I think he has to keep himself entertained by doing all this stuff - borrowing people's mobile phones and setting the language to Turkish and all kinds of stuff like that. He loves it.
Did you find the finished film frightening?
Too right! It was really bad, actually - everyone thinks I'm the dark hard man and I'm like "uugh!" All those snakes jumping out all over the place and everything!
Have you seen the Draco action figure yet?
Yes, my friends bought it as soon as they saw it and snapped my arms off and bent my legs every way possible - so that was good fun!
Do you want a career as an actor?
Whatever life throws at me I'll take it and be grateful for it as well. I'd like to own my own garage and my own fishery. I'd also like to be a professional fisherman. But I'll take whatever happens.
What kind of fan mail do you get?
Most of the letters say the same stuff, but I like reading them all anyway. Every letter I've got, I've read, and you do get the odd one that's different. A Japanese woman sent me a wooden spoon for Christmas to wish me good luck. The Japanese fans always send weird things. Some people have sent half-hearts and broken crystals and all kinds of things, but I just add them to the collection. Maybe one day I'll understand what it means, but until then...
I wonder if he's got any underwear yet? You can't say you've made it big unless people start sending you underwear.
Mandrakes good
Chamber of Secrets good
Ginny good (ie: not as pretty as Hermione)
Ron's retarded facial expressions good (he best pray the wind don't change)
Flying car good
Dobby actually grew on me too...observe slight toleration for ugly house elves developing.
Thumbs up for moaning Myrtle and the girls toilets. Why can't real toilets be like that?!
Tom Riddle...could be spunky if he didn't ooze evil.
LOTR Soon! Am hanging off the edge of my seat in sweaty anticipation for The Two Towers. Gah! Every time I walk past this store in the city in the arcade (the one that makes and sells figurines of tiny lotr character and such) I stand there and oogle. Pity that I feel totally violated by nerdiness whenever I step into the shop. I swear I've never met a bunch of geekier and smellier guys than the ones who sit there all day and talk, paint, breathe and eat that sorta stuff. The geekiness I can handle. Always had a soft spot for geeks. The pungent odor? Cannot foresee any soft spot developing for body odor until I myself deteriorate to that state. *shudder*
Legolas screen time better be ample. And I do hope they don't carry the 'bum-chum' bond between him and Gimli too far. Thank goodness Faramir is decent eye candy. What with all the orcs and ents...I fear for the lack of eye candy. Gawd! The preview looks bloody smashing! I'm going to sit at home 2 days prior to the premier and sleep and not talk to anyone or do anything so that my brain can just sit and absorb during the movie. Must preen.
Eagerly awaiting The Very Secret Diaries Part II also. Wonder what Cassie has in store for us all! With the new characters being introduced and all I see fun times ahead *chuckles*
Will go reread VSD later on for laffs galore.
Mother has given the green light for Melbourne. Will have to arrange it strategically since have signed for Host Day and Mentoring as well this year. Aim to at least not have one mentee drop out of uni for lack of support. *gulp*
Oh! Want to go to Melb Uni O'day, that would be awesome! Claud! You gotta make sure you can go! Cannot wait for the shopping actually. However have finally acknowledge this addiction is getting slightly out of hand. Control...moderation...everything in moderation!
Currently having three online 'diaries' is becoming totally ridiculous! I just can't for the life of me decide which one I want to keep. Which reminds me...I've got to do some Booyas.
LuLu: Heyho! You my dear are defn'ly coming to see the premier of Lotr...and make sure you read al the secret diaries too. And I'm so dead serious abt our little rendezvous to melbourne. As for the dilemma, lets not try jump that hurdle until it hits us point blank.
Jingles: If you insist on being a oddball - then so be it. Who am I to tell you that you're not really all that weird. I mean, it's not every day that I find someone passionately declaring that they are indeed a freakazoid.
Nishi: My other fave. New Yorker whose fashion and beauty tips I'd live by. Hope you're having a great summer vac. and that life is all dandy for you! Merry Christmas and yadda. Hopefully me and ramit can crash at ur place if we ever scab together the dosh to get to the US =]
rameog: One little Two little Three little indians Four little Five little Six little Indians...and a booya to ur bro. Mahjong?!
Yong-Long: is a snob
Jo: I know for sure (I hope) you're going to be going to the lotr premier! Are you going to dress up?! That would be so wicked!! And am dying to see Fellowship again on rear projection big material screen thingy! Hurry up and organise! *Squeeee*
Bah...who else...well no idea who else reads this blog. As far as I know...no one reads anything except those aforementioned and steph and selene.
Ah! Another characteristic that future potential bf ought to have (perhaps not ought...bonus points if he did) love to read as much as I do. Natural affinity of course. Not an adopted one just to impress.
Okay! Fearless leader signing off till next time! Loff me lots cos I do.
Adios.
