Bad news and good news
Jun. 13th, 2004 01:02 amThe bad news is that I now longer have a paid account, but I suppose it's good in a way, since I won't be using my LJ regularly from now on.
The good news (Well, for me, at least, since I won't be looking after them for much longer!) is that I've adopted another Neopet to go along with Rywyn, my lupe (that's a wolf to normal people). It's a uni (a unicorn for us people with sanity) called Kimmy (I didn't name it, since it was adopted, it came with that name, so no yelling at me for choosing a sad name!). I wanted to adopt a griffin (I can't remember what they called them, but it was something stupid, as per usual!), for the main reason that when approached by friends, he insulted them from afar, which seemed just my style!
Sadly, I had to settle for Kimmy, who's very friendly, and quite cute. I have a feeling she's going to wend her way into my heart. Still, I've got my wolf to keep me on my toes.
Onto real life, it turns out that my exams haven't finished after all. I have an Astronomy oral on Monday afternoon, which I'm not looking forward to. The bloody external examiner has chosen me to be one of the ones he wants imparting their knowledge to him. I mean, surely he should already know all of this stuff, and doesn't need to pick students to tell him random facts.
I may also have a Physics oral the following Monday (that's Charms to all the wizards reading), which won't be fun at all! If it was a practical exam, that'd be all right, but answering questions about it - horrible.
Went out with the dogs again today, but this time, because it was so late, we didn't go very far. I couldn't stand the bloody midges. I swear that the main reason Scotland has only been invaded by the English is because all the other potential invaders took one step, were mobbed by the little brutes, and decided that they were better off going somewhere else. I would swear that they are related to Doxies.
I'm currently trying to remember scenes from the Harry Potter films (what I want to know is why they weren't the Draco Malfoy films, they would have been so much more interesting) to make into the front covers of the CDs of Stephen Fry reading the books aloud. Now, obviously, I would go for an image of Draco Malfoy every time, but since it's for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
loriel_eris and she has a liking for Harry, then it's going to be a more traditional look.
So far, I've got an image of Harry about to stroke Buckbeak for Prisoner of Azkaban, and am thinking about images for Philosopher's Stone (I'm English, so it's being called by it's proper name!), Chamber of Secrets, Goblet of Fire, and Order of the Phoenix. So far, I've come up with the Hogwarts Express for Philosopher's Stone, the flying car that the Weasel and Potter flew into the Whomping Willow for Chamber of Secrets, Potter on a broom for Goblet of Fire since there aren't any images from the film yet, and I don't have anything remotely resembling the tasks other than Potter on a broom, and Fawkes and Dumbledore for Order of the Phoenix. If anyone can come up with something better, then let me know. I'm slightly stuck - if it was Draco, I would be having no problems at all.
That's all I have to say right now, so I'm going to go and do something constructive, like found out where my house-elf has got to - this room is freezing.
