Rollercoaster

If I went that long without seeing you I'd go crazy.

The last two weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster. Up down, busy not, happy sad, relaxed stressed. I'm rather glad it's over, the next week looks wonderfully manageable. Well, at least I hope it is.

I went to see the new Harry Potter movie. Unlike pre-purchasing madness leading to burning film, I just leisurely strolled down to the VanEast, half an hour before show-time, bought myself a ticket and sat down. However, on the way there, the strangest thing happened. I got offered marijuana from someone holding a clear tupperware container larger than a shoebox full of pot. The casual nature of his offer while holding enough bud to get himself right proper jailed floored me. The weirdest thing of the event is that none of the other people I was wish, five or so strong, noticed.

So, the most expensive film ever made didn't disappoint, I enjoyed it rather throughly. However, I couldn't help but wonder where the devil all that money went. Three hundred and twenty million is no small amount (ten million more than it took to make the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, by the by). Tyler joked that they burned Canadian money of the right colour to get the goblet of fire to burn right. That's why, I pointed out, The fire only burned red for a moment. They used fifties.

I haven't been eating nearly well enough, story of my life I suppose. There were days in which I had stuff to do for over 8 hours straight, no pauses, and it meant I just existed off of adrenaline and determination. Which I am good at, but is not good for me.

As soon as I saw the movie, i knew your $320 million figure was a load of BS.

IMDB backs me up, someone has told you wrong, bizzitch. As do these cats:

HP clocks in at #11.

The 170 million pound/308 million us figure (no idea where you got 320 from) was a rumour thrown around before production started.

Hey Sockbaby, you wanna food up with us, or what?

Go tell your alien brothers...that Ronnie Cordova says they're gay!

Yeah, and you're a woman, so what?

Sham-bam-bamina!

So many good lines in Sockbaby.

Hello, what's with no hello?

We're un-hello now.
