A White Lie
Every heard that Whitetail spiders are very dangerous, that their venom eats through tissue & muscle? Well, it's a myth. Of course they would make you sick if they got enough poison in, & if someone reacts to the venom it'd have a bad effect, but according to nurses at the hospital, it's myth what they can do to you (& being an area where whitetails are common they of all people should know). So if you live in an area that whitetails frequent you can sleep easier knowing you're not that much at risk! Just thought you'd like to know that :P
Okay, so it's MotoGP time...Anyone else think Valentino Rossi has the most gorgeous smile?
Okay, so I finally got to watch Lost this evening, after missing two episodes becuase we kept forgetting it was on. The shows getting better in that questions are not constantly being raised. I love the show, but the whole make-you-think-questions-will-be-answered-only-to-raise-more-questions-next-episode thing was getting annoying! Anyway, I haven't been that enthused about the show because the people I speak to online are way ahead of me because they either live in a country where it aired before it did over here or they've downloaded episodes, so the whole hype wasn't there. I either didn't know what they were on about or didn't want to know what they were on about so it didn't spoil anything.
Well, nothing much has happened lately, I've been getting back into The Sims 2. It's really fun when you have a million & one cheats & downloads to speed the game up! But that's it really, the holidays have been pretty dead. I'll hopefully be able to listen to Sean Patrick Flanery's songs that I had sent to me soon though! WOoT! I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the actual CD though,
Johnson was a Snowman who liked the Beach but no where I know can order it in for me :(
So, I'll let you get back on with your life now!

GRYPHONEX UPDATE:
This Month has been updated, the gallery, movie/actor, picture, website, whole works have changed. Everything else is pretty much as it was, except the
Gryphonex Creations page, which is often being updated. I'll have to get Tath into the site to update her stuff.
Up & Coming Harry Potter
In my many searches for celebrity pictures I've noticed a few people who want Norman Reedus to play Barty Crouch Jr & Angelina Jolie to play Bellatrix Lestrange.
First I'll share my opinion on Norman Reedus playing Barty Crouch Jr. No. To be quiet frank I believe the role is below him. When I read the book (I enjoyed it emensely btw) I pictured B C Jr as a weak, snivelling arsewipe, a character that Norman Reedus could play, but one that wouldn't do him any justice. I'd enjoy the extra perve if he
was in it, but I wouldn't appreciate the casting agent! But that won't happen (Thank Feth!) because the actor David Tennant is going to play B C Jr.
Okay, Angelina Jolie as Bellatrix Lestrange. Yes, I could see that, & she'd pull the role off really well, making the character a highlight of the film. The only place she'd fall out from the impression I got from the book would be her build, which is different from the way I saw Bellatrix Lestrange. Angelina Jolie is an excellent actress & would do benefit to any movie she starred in, in my opinion.
With the next movie: The Goblet of Fire I do hope they don't take anything away from the book have enjoyed the series thus far, but wasn't overly pleased with the progress of the movies. The first two were wonderful, Richard Harris made a Marvelous Dumbledore, Gambon just doesn't have the same flowing prescence that Harris so aptly applied to his role in the Harry Potter films. The third film was a lot 'brighter' but it took too much away from the whole experience for me to truly appreciate it. All in all though, I did enjoy the movies and I believe all those who have acted in them have done a good job.

RaaHaa
I was discussing the topic of souls today. What happens to them? Why we "are". I'm not a biblically religious person (if that's the word for it), but I believe that a soul isn't something that dies with the body. It's a really interesting topic, & it will always be interesting because you can never be conclusive about it.
OMG! Someone stole my word! They took RaaHaa! That word just popped into my head one day & I stared using it. It's what you say when you can't think of anything else to say or nothing else will express what you want to say. It's generally positive & an excellent system for rating guys! Anyway, I Googled the word & it's used excessively in other languages (at one point in something concer pot) but what get me was this guy/girl who's using it as their handle on some site...goddamnit! It was my word!! My Word! *breathing*
Okay, so maybe I don't have rights to that word, but I still have the better contextual meaning for it!! HAHA!
Well, it's school holidays for the next two weeks, & I'm overly happy, not that I've much planned. I'll be seeing friends, going to the comic shop & going to watch Avril Lavigne in concert. That's about the only really definite things that I'll be doing over the holidays. *Will write more later*

In Business
WOO! I finally worked out the correct settings for all the archiving & feed shit, & my blog can actually be viewed now, WOO!
Okay, so I've had exams for the past week, & I'd say I went pretty well, considering I got 4 pages of scribbling done when I usually only reach about 2 or 3. Although last year it was scribbling on the desks instead of paper. I took to doing charicatures of my friends which turned out pretty good considering I could only see the back of their head most the time.
Oh My God!! I have it. I have the midi of the opening bars of the Boondock Saints theme song, which means I can upload it onto my mobile & have it as a ringtone. The Boondock Saints as my ringtone; & I thought I couldn't love my phone any more then what I do already! Yes, I'm the type of person who cannot go without her mobile phone. My mobile is everything
but a phone. It's got so many personal pictures & ringtones it's not funny!
Wow, I just realised I've joined 19 fanlistings...I know that probably isn't very much, but I didn't think I'd joined that many. Oh well, I lovers lots of things!
Anyway, I think my friend thinks I have problems. So what if I'm slightly obsessive compulsive. Okay maybe not slightly, a bit. Or a big bit. I'm a perfectionist, things have to be right, they don't have to be organized, they just have to be the way I like them. She thinks it's funny that I have multiple sub-folders in my documents, but that's 'cause I like to know where everything is, everything has a place, & if it doesn't create a sub-folder.
Anyway, it's work tomorrow, & the first day of the school holidays. YAY! No more school for two weeks!
