quiz: what magical symbol is connected to you?

An orb is the magical symbol that connects with you. Time after time, we associate orbs with reading the future and mysterious gypsies. Well, because of this stereotype, orbs do represent a high factor of wisdom, but at the same time, their shape and elegance bring upon a new aspect of fascination and interest. Beautiful, solid and graceful, orbs have been carried on through centuries, and to this day still remain as a strong symbol of mystical magic.Happy quizilling,Goddess

the 5th harry potter movie

warning! spoilers for the 5th harry potter movie & book. possible spoilers for the other movies/books



yesterday i saw the 5th harry potter movie & it was great! a damn good book too. however, 4-7 should come with a hanky warning for the end.
of course it couldn't cover what the book did, that would be a 9 hour movie. for example: the whole hermione crusade to liberate the house elves plot thread was dropped.
i didn't like the fact that cho change was made the informer of the group (even though a potion was used on her) in the book it was a friend of her's. but it's better for the character than crying over cedric (her boyfriend who was killed at the end of 4) like in the book.
they keep talking about you-know-who causing trouble 14 years ago. but harry's about 16 & i thought he was just an infant when all of that happened. but i suppose he could've been a bit older.
i like the little thing with hermione's cat playing with fred & george's "extendable ears" but it would've made more sense, IMHO. to mention that the weasley twins went into a joke/prank business with harry's winnings from the wizard tournament in 4.
they made sure that kreacher didn't look like doby lest you tink that all house elves look alike. they should've explained that the woman's voice that he was talking to was the picture of sirius' mother. a anti-mugle.
evanna lynch was wonderful as luna, just what you expect. i wonder if she sounds that way in real life? or was it something for the movie?
helena bonham carter chew the scenery for the brief time she was there. i don't mean that as something negative, you expect secene-chewing from bad guys.
i don't know why people are going on about natalia tena as tonks. she had all of maybe 6 lines. and honestly didn't strike me as something great.
michael gambon was good as dumbledore. nothing against him, but i will always see richard harris in the role. his granddaughter called that one right.

unintended dirty moment: when fred & george apperaite behind their mother: "just because you're old enough, dosen't mean you can whip out your wands when ever you want!" (or something. you get the gist)

five things #19

Five SG-1 team nights (in or out).

1. they had a welcome-to-the-sgc thing at o'malley's for mitchell that nearly got out of hand when some drunk guy told teal'c that star wars was "a stupid movie"
2. jack tried to do monthly poker night at his place for sg-1 when he could.
3. they had an occasional "movie & pizza" night at sam's.
4. whenever they had to "pull an all nighter" someone (usually jack) would "stage a raid" on the cafferteria for stuff to make sandwiches with.
5. the "guys" would go along with sam to the big sales at the mall because she usually didn't have anyone to go with. she would always buy them a beer afterwards.

well that's odd

i was sort of watching pirate's of the caribbean: at world's end last night. my mom & brother were watching it while i was on the computer. lame-ass ending by the way. anyhow, that reminded me of a dream that i had after sort of watching the last POTC movie.

in this dream i was a cousin of elizabeth's who was causing trouble because i didn't want to wear a corset or marry who my parents wanted me to marry. somehow i ended up on the same ship as elizabeth & captain jack. for some reason he let me hold that compass that points to what you want the most. the needle was spinning around & around. "you're confused. you don't know what you want." the captain told me. then the needle stopped & was pointing northwest. "but whatever it is, it's to the northwest." he amended. then he took the compass away from me & walked off. i woke up after that.

that's was an odd one & not just because of the POTC thing. what would be in the north west? if you're in the U.S. (like i am) it's seattle or vancouver Canada. if you're in australia, there's not much in the northwest. if you're en europe, england is the northwest. so i'm almost just as confused as i was in the dream.
the only thing that comes to mind is i'd like to go to a big stargate convention that creation (or someone) has up there in vancouver every year.
