I am trying to read the last Harry Potter book, but it's slow going because OH GOD I DON'T CARE.

I watched the (three? four? however many there were between the one where Cedric died and the last one where Neville kills a snake) movies I'd missed at a friends' over the weekend, and I'd forgotten massive chunks of the story, so I thought I would finally see how it ended and then maybe do a full reread, but now I remember why I stopped in the first place because THEY ARE ALL SO ANNOYING.

On the plus side, we also found a download for the entire series of the Weekenders, which is just as awesome as I remember and aside from afew references to Leonardo DiCaprio as a teen heartthrob, barely shows its age at all. So actually I think I may give tDeathly Hallows up as a bad job, and watch twelve year old.cartoons.instead. Later days!

Oh God, you guys! I was going to write a post here about how we should all vote for Todd as our next Prime Minister, and then maybe let him eat our old government once he wins (landslide victory, running on a "wearing black leather and eating people" platform) but I just watched Lost Boys 2: the Tribe, and oh, it was beautiful beyond words! I mean, okay, I got a bit annoyed with the gratuitous titty shots, but all of those people died, so that's okay. Andandand Corey Feldman! And make sure you watch the credits and the alternate scenes and just generally revel in how completely unexpectedly WONDERFUL it is.

Don't watch the music videos, though. They are lame.

Also, if anyone wants to earn my undying love, they will write Lost Boys 2 porn. Any pairing, I don't even care, I love them all so much.

In news that involves neither vampires nor imaginary life-sucking aliens running for office, I am very displeased with the non-studliness of the actors being cast to play werewolves over the last two decades. I mean, Jack Nicholson and Hugh Jackman, I can totally understand, but James Spader? The French guy from SWAT? Josh from Dead Man on Campus? Fucking Pacey?!* Also, how is Jack Nicholson versus James Spader in any way a contest? I could kick the shit out of James Spader. Scooter the Happy Pony could kick the shit out of James Spader. So could a small bundle of twigs and your daddy. Working seperately. For the edification of future film-makers, I have compiled a list of actors who have a level of studliness adequate for playing a werewolf**. Read it, learn it, live it.

As you can see, there are plenty of studly actors to choose from when making your werewolf movie. So please stop casting little wussy he-bitches unless they're Shawn from the 4400 or Robert Greysmith from Zodiac. Actually, if anyone wants to do a werewolf sequel to Zodiac, replete with Paul/Robert sexin', I will sell you my first-born child.

*Uh, those last two are seperate issues, I didn't mean it as "Josh from Dead Man on Campus fucking Pacey". Cooper would cut Pacey like the little bitch that he is, were that the case.

**Where I didn't know, or just couldn't be bothered to look up, an actors name, I just listed him under a character name.

La! Well, that was more fun than being attacked by a swarm of roboinsectobots, even if they were wearing hats. I've just got back from three days in Haye-on-Wye, and yes, Snithy, it does exist although it turns out I was wrong about the houses being built from books and eating books and the people in fact being talking books with legs, but none-the-less, it was booktastic and now I have absolutely no money for the rest of the month. But I do have several beautiful illustrated books on fairytales and, for reasons that shall go unexplained, two plant holders, a Scooby Doo board game and a bag of paper mache skulls. Which proves that even in a town made entirely from books, I will find a way to spend my money on crap. And blame it on Miriglum, who blatently encouraged me.

In other news, I am now seeking to unravel one of the greatest mysteries of the world. No, not "Can homies and lumberjacks ever be friends?", nor even "What good are shoes without cute animals on them?". Nay, I fear the question I seek to answer is even greater that these. Namely:

Is the Nightmare Before Christmas a Halloween film or a Christmas film?

Wish me luck, friends, for no doubt my quest for the ultimate knowledge will be fraught with peril and danger and monkeys at every turn. In the meantime, I have to go peel the "Made on China" stickers off a bunch of skulls, so farewell!

I'm still gutted by the discovery that Rollo Weeks played Mini-Gerard in Attila. Sometimes the IMDB is a curse, I tell you.

And now, it's time for fun with memes:

List six of your favourite shows

1. Firefly
2. BSG (new)
3. Kim Possible
4. Weekenders
5. Deadwood
6. BSG (original)

( Spoilers for Serenity and the second season of Deadwood )

Jebus Christ, I'm tired. Had to get up early this morning to buy stupid shoes for stupid work because my old (but equally stupid) shoes fell apart on me. I was going to get them at Primark, since I consider work shoes to be one of those things that a person should waste as little money on as possible, freeing up extra income for necessities such as books and DVDs, but then I posed to myself a question that has baffled scientists throughout the ages, namely:

What good are shoes without cute animals on them?

So now I own a pair of Mary Janes with a kittyface on the toes. Life is good, and on that note, I'm off to watch Deadwood and revel in the pure awesomeness that is Al Swearengen. Later, cocksuckers.

Normally I love the IMDB. It's the Holy Grail of movie geekdom and the next best thing to a cure for those of us who suffer from HITS*.

But I could really have done without knowing that Tino and Dash X are played by the same guy. I keep imagining Dash getting all worked up about not being awarded a Yearbook Superlative or tricking Mars into buying a load of stupid stuffed dogs or being forced to dress up as a mime and consequently developing an irrational fear of seagulls.

In other news, Ginger Snaps Back is awesome. If you disgree with me, clearly you don't have a proper head.

*HITS: "Hey, isn't that...?" syndrome.

Yet more stick-figure silliness. Because, as much as we all love Erik (except for Hex, FILTHY Raoul-fancier that she is *kick*) he really is the worlds biggest dramaqueen.

My fellow Weekenders fans will recognise Christine's dialogue in the first picture - yup, that's a Carver quote. I actually wanted to have her telling Erik to buy shoes, but I couldn't be bothered to draw it.

Stay tuned for more idiocy next week!
