salineaThe fridge has been delivered. That means I can move in anydays now, yay. (so tired, so cold, so down tsk)
My father has started reading FFC at last (because I was pressing him as I told him I'd need him soon for Teresa's reread) He was busy reading Dan Simmons' Olympos which I had offered him recently, and before that American Gods. He's got the wrong sense of priority if you want my opinion, but heh. It's funny because he doesn't remember the characters and things happening before much, so he asks me and I tell "yeah, ***** killed ***** because he'd said the word "whore" once time too many and then he escaped... " etc.
I have a moral dilemna. See, there's a girl at my work, Anais, who's friend with one of my old school friend : Bertille,so I'm aquainting with both of them, and behaving sociably and stuff. (Or trying to) Anyway, we mentionned a move together, and today Anais said they were thinking about seeing GoF this week end
Dubbed. >_<
Being sociable isn't easy. I guess that's why most of my friends are geeks and snobbish enough to want to watch movies only subtitled ^_^;;
Speaking of geekness, I bought a verrrrry pretty RPG book last saturday : Qin, it's a French Kung Fu game and looks very fab. I tried it out during the Utopiales and was eying it for a while, except it was pretty expensive. I decided the other day that I would buy either Qin or Shadowrun 4. Since SR4 is still unfindable in any bookstore due to problems, I bought Qin. They had artists doing signing/drawings on books at the store, so it was a good timing (wholly unplanned). That's the advantage to buying French books, even if it means I won't be able to chat about it with GH, May, Bog, Jy, Fiat & co. Bah, anyway I'm sure it's better than Weapon of the Gods :p
And yes, I just changed my mood theme to the Last Unicorn one. Hopefuly it'll be inspiring. (bah, as if I had time to write anything...)

Date: 30 November 2005 08:11 am (UTC)Yeah I've never liked Fleur because of that horrendous accent thing. Not to mention the cliches. One of the reason GoF's definitly not my favourite despite the goodness of Barty Jr. ^^
I don't even remember how it was translated in the books >_>

Date: 3 December 2005 10:39 am (UTC)You just translate it for the lot of us. I promise you the wild and quirky kung fu action will be worth it. Why, I will even accept a translation to Japanese. ^^
Fleur: Now you see why I groan at movies like Lost in Translation.
Not going to any Potter movies myself yet, though. I have promised myself to read the novels first. And being immensively cheap I am trying to borrow them from friends - Who appearently have great trouble getting them back from the other friends they already have lended them to.
I will have to drool at the tasty Bulgarian boy later.
