Yay movie.

Not yay, not hiring John Williams to write the score. This guy was better than the last one, but not John Williams. (Edit: New guy, Nicholas Hooper, is working on the next one too. I'd rather it be J.W., but better than GoF's Patrick Doyle.)

I've got loads of bones to pick with the movie, both in the yay sense and the not-yay sense, but I should hit the sack.

One thing before I go.

There was so much blatant shippage in that movie I could barely stand it. Add in the fact that I was wearing most prominently my slash goggles, and I almost passed out from the yay. There's one shot towards the beginning that I just love, with Sirius and Lupin and Harry. Twas v. v. cute, and it's most definitely going to be my icon as soon as the DVDs come out.

Oh, and yeah. Tonks was cute. V. cute. (Not nearly enough of her, though.)

Okay, so I didn't go to bed right off.

But I've decided that I'm going to have to start hooking up with one of the local HP groups. Because everybody there was so much fun tonight, fooling around with their wands and flicking their capes and doing house chants and gasping and cheering in all the right places (including several that made me sure that there were more than a few Snarry fans in the crowd), and I don't really have any RL friends that do fandom offline and only a couple that'd even know what I was talking about by the word fandom, so it'd be fun. I really enjoyed the entire atmosphere there, and looking through the profiles of some of the people in the LJ group, they like some of the same ships I do, so it'd be nice to hang out and swap fanfic and such. I've been in the group for ages, but never have met up or anything due to lack of rides to places and the fact that I don't know anybody in there, but I think I'm going to have to try.

Katie and I are going to geek around for the DH release, and idk where we're going yet (though we'd talked about the library's party, because it's got pizza, and then Borders), so maybe we and the group will overlap. If not (because neither of us have bothered to get our licenses, we're slaves to the whims of whoever can give us a ride), I'll have to bully her into coming to something of one of the groups with me.

Has anybody else noticed that the New England Journal of Medicine seems to have less and less "Free full text" articles lately?

Yeah, I didn't think so. Still. It bothers me.
