Deathly Hallows

Almost made it to the end of the book, I was just starting the memories part of The Prince's Tale chapter. And I have to say, we got a crowd of idiots at our showing. A bunch of immature girls who kept laughing at everything and after a lot of lines they'd repeat it and then laugh some more, and make comments about this that and everything. And every two minutes someone walked past to go to the bathroom or something, it's like, can't you people sit still for two and a half (three?) hours???  How can you really get into a movie like that, how can you feel it?

Anyway, there were a lot, and I mean a LOT, of things in the movie that only people who've read the books would understand. Or people who will eventually own the dvd and can pause to see things or read things.

Overall, very well done! A bit rushed, but then they all are. So glad they made it into two parts. No one but people who read the books would understand what the mirror shard is about, since they didn't include that crucial bit into the OOTP movie. I teared up when Hermoine obliviated her parents. And I cried a little when Hedwig died, which of course I did in the book too. A bit awkward how they randomly, and suddenly introduced Bill and Mundungus. "Oh, look at my scars, see, see?" Harry should have been like, "Yeah, I know, I was there, earlier this year, at Hogwarts." and we've known Mundungus since OOTP I believe? Maybe he was mentioned in passing earlier, she likes making small mentions only to later bring them up as big characters. Sirius Black, Mrs. whatshername the cat lady who babysat Harry, even Bathilda Bagshot! Anyway, always love Kreacher, he's awesome. Surprised George didn't say who shot off his ear.... And I believe Snape killed the muggle studies teacher in the book. I was miffed at the lack of polyjuice potion at Godric's Hollow and I was so looking forward to seeing the memorial statue. Alas. No mention of Ariana either, odd. And they didn't say anything about who Grindelwald is, just that he was mentioned in The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore. Nothing about him being a great dark wizard, nothing about him being best friends with Albus, nothing about Ariana being locked in the basement or her death, just a random mention that his dad killed some muggles. I do kinda like how Xenophilius summoned the death eaters, though, that was a nice touch. And I totally love Hermoine's gray coat. Thought the dancing scene was a tad unnecessary. Loved the doe patronus, *sigh* Victor figured it out as well as I did, who's it was. btw, I did so not need to see Harry in nothing but his boxers. ewwwww, I shall have nightmares, I'm sure of it!!! The destruction of the locket was great, better than it was in the book. I am sad they didn't do the line I like so much. When Ron says Dumbledore gave him the deluminator "cause he knew I'd bug out on you" and Harry's all, "He knew you'd come back", cause I think that was really powerful in the book, but I guess the movie people didn't. Either that or I didn't listen hard enough and they did say the line, because the idiot girls behind us were talking again at the same time. Anyway, miffed also at the lack of polyjuice potion at the wedding. I had to explain to Victor about the Fidelius Charm that was on Grimmauld Place, cause he said it was a bad idea to go there, but they actually stayed there a good few months safe and sound. Wish they'd shown Wormtail's death. Oh, well. And there was no mention about who's house Shell Cottage was. I had to tell Victor it was Bill and Fleur's house. Like who they got for Bill's actor, though he should have been a bit more rugged, I always imagined him with his hair in a strangly ponytail and a bit of a beard, with burns and scars from having worked at Gringotts, like the book says. Course the movies do have a tendency to leave out important facts. Like how Snape called Lily a mudblood in Snape's Worst Memory, they didn't even show Lily in that scene in the movie! Didn't show her saving him or anything. Also, the deluminator is different than it was in SS, and I noticed that right away and just checked and it is some different. Close enough some people probably wouldn't realize it. I guess we can brush it off that Dumbledore made improvements to it since SS?

Work:
Yesterday, I forgot to say, in the morning I had come in to a mess. Cat food all over the floor, dirt, shrink wrap, wood shards, stacks of pallets everywhere. No one ever empties the garbages, no one ever crushes the crusher.

Today I got all but two of the 709s worked and in the books. Still need to file Monday's paperwork and work the Zero Cost report. But ever since I walked in on someone getting a written warning I've been weary of going in the office to file paperwork when people are in it, so I'm waiting for a good opportunity. Anyway, today went fairly well for a Friday.

I'll have to ask Zhaun for some knee pads because I am not filling the eggs and yogurt without them. Not with the way they have my cases set up. Rotation's going to be impossible. Especially with customers all over the place. Like I was telling Bob, when yogurt's on sell there will be no filling it. I won't be able to. I'll be able to put one or two cups on the shelf before I'm shoved out of the way by some greedy person who takes a few dozen, knocks over half a shelf, and then leaves, getting mad at me for existing.

I'm so tired. I want sleep. A good night's sleep. Sleep without interruption, sleep without worry. Sleep where I go when I'm tired, wake when I'm not, sleep where the alarm doesn't set me off, doesn't make me lay there with chills running over me and a sense of dread, knowing that if I allow my eyes to close for a second I might drift off again, yet knowing I can't possibly keep them open, and so I close them, hoping I don't fall back to sleep, and eventually I sit up, feeling dizzy, I stand, and sometimes I wobble, sometimes I almost fall. Nothing helps it. 10 hours of sleep... 6 hours... and everything inbetween. I've found that on really unbearable nights Vitamin B allows me to fall asleep alright. Even on my days off I wake up with a headache sometimes. Usually on my days off I get 10-11 hours of sleep, but I'm still tired. I had always been up into the late night, before I was dairy manager. Midnight... 1AM, this was my bedtime. Wakey time was 9 or 10. I used to sleep until I wasn't tired, these days on my days off if I wake up and see that it's after about 6 I tell myself to get up regardless. Once a few weeks ago I slept till almost 8, and I felt somewhat refreshed. I can't wait until my sleep can normalize again. I think in the last few years I've felt refreshed two or three times. Most days I wake up exhausted. And staying up late to write about my lack of sleep won't help anything. Tomorrow's my last day as ICM before Bonnie comes back. In a way I'll be glad to be able to go to work at 6 again, instead of 5. And very glad that Sunday's shift is a 7-3, I can sleep in till 6.
