speaking of accred (which i know was a long time ago) i thought i would get armpit abrasions from being carried so much by hweefang, ruoxi and yunhan>,< only very hardworking footdrill people get armpit abrasions lol. anyway i had more body aches from 2.4 --i got 16.08! which is ok. you think of funny things when you run.
getting along with hbp- wonwon has been snogging lavender and harry's 'insides are like a raging beast' when seeing ginny snog dean. i wouldnt want harry as a boyfriend becasue he thinks of ginny very posessively! 'she is mine' yadayada. and voldemort is posessive too- with his hocruxes and all. i mean i wouldnt want to feel like im being, well owned by someone. harry learns more about voldemort and there is much more characterisation in this book than in other book- jkr 'showing' how voldemort is and his weaknesses and strengths. and showing is always better than telling, but then jkr has to make comprimises in plot, which make it a less engaging read. im reading it slowly and limiting myself to 2 chapters a day so i have time to think over and analyse things.

watched mirrormask- something my dad borrowed. Its a relatively dark fantasy that came out in september of last year. Well ochre, more like. The most part of this film is set in a brownish fantasy world with Helena, a 15 year old girl who works in a circus. This is a British film with american producers (Jim Henson- they did the muppets) which gives a fairy-tale, traditional feel. Helena is tired of working in the circus and wants to have a real life instead. I relate to her very much because although she fights with her mother, she still loves her a lot. One night, she dreams of a fantasy world where the Black and White queens reside. she has to save the white queen by finding the charm that will set her free. It is a dark fantasy with a jazzy soundtrack that is unique to the movie- i want the soundtrack!- as compared to the epic symphonies of more popular fantasies like harry potter or the lord of the rings. It is, quite surprisingly, a low-budget movie with many special effects. I am not used to movies of this scale but the small group of cast and crew gives it a sense of closeness and intimacy. I expected a lot more on the dvd- more cast interviews and the like, but due to the lack of budget and publicity, I dont think there were enough stuff to put in. Stephanie Leonidas plays Helena, and i must say she did a fairly good job of portraying Helena's emotions and i can relate to her on a very grand scale.
