‘Life is like a Boat’, the Kiss, and many other visual effects.
Posted in Life on 07/16/2007 06:51 pm by LilyLife is like a boat is the first ending to the anime bleach, but it’s also a good presentation of my mood at the moment. Sadness wrapped around regret and love. If I could cry, I would because it’s almost painful. I just wish that the message was delivered and that it’ll sink in. How much it means for a thank you.
I’ve been in Canada today and half of yesterday. This trip has been planned for so long that I almost can’t remember. But it’s worth it; Misaki’s reaction to her birthday gift was priceless. (Although I didn’t pay that much attention because I was kind of embarrassed.) A couple of days ago, when I asked her which one she liked better, DBSK or Lee-hom, and she said Lee-hom, and my heart sank. It really did. But then I didn’t let it show, because it’s five posters of DBSK, I’m sure she’ll like it.
The primary reason for this trip was because of the new movie of the Harry Potter series. (I almost typed Happy Potter xD) It was really awesome admittedly. I’m actually very impressed. The kiss between Daniel Radcliffe and Katie Leung was very good and only slightly childishly romantic. After reading Katie Leung’s wiki page I found out some very interesting things about her. Her picture actually looks very nice. The rest of the movie was very nicely crafted. I always think that the HP movies were too fastly paced, with the exception of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire which had a pretty good pace overall. However, I thought that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was slightly too slow. Misaki noted that the movie series gets darker and darker metaphorically as they come, which is way too true. I’m almost apprehensive because if the movie gets any darker, even if we set the contrast and brightness at maximum in the theater, we would still be watching a pitch black screen when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is released.
New and temporary casts of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix includes Imelda Staunton as Professor Dolores Umbridge, who did Vera Drake (vocal recitation of this post got a hearing mistake of ‘very great’ instead of ‘Vera Drake’) and got an Academy Nomination for the role, and Helena Bonham Carter, who played Ballatrix Lestrange. Imelda’s Umbridge was annoyingly hilarious. Her squeaks and girly personality was awesomely brilliant. One observation was that the walls of her office was pink and that there were moving plates of kittens and cats on her wall. There were bursts of laughters in the theater we were in, and that’s usually unheard (what a pun xD) of for a Harry Potter movie. Helena Bonham Carter did a great job too. She was really freaky and hauntingly charming, even for a Death Eater, which got me thinking about who’ll be casted as Narcissa Malfoy for upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
July 21st will be when the book is released. I’m not going to any midnight parties organized by any bookstores, yet. I don’t really see a point cause I’ve already ordered it on Amazon.
Life has given me many inspirations for writing. Too many that I really can’t remember. One idea was that the spirit of Sun fell in love with the spirit guarding Earth and gave birth to Gaea. He loved his daughter so much that he sent her spirit to the Human world to live her life on Earth. It’s only a beginning, and no YOU CAN’T TAKE THE IDEA.
Birthday Party is weird right now. I just started Chapter 1 last night. I’m not sure which general direction it’s going. I hope it’ll go smoothly and end well. I hope I get lots of reviews.
This has been such a long post.
