HP7

I am a satisfied man after catching Harry Potter on release day!

Perhaps my opinion contains a hint of bias for Harry Potter has been such an essential part of my childhood but I found the movie pretty decent and far and away an improvement from the snorefest that was the Half-Blood Prince!

While the Goblet of Fire still stands as my favourite of the series, DH Part I was good in it's own rights. For one filming locations/sets were amazing and action scenes, sparse as they were, were well done (how anyone can possibly hate people FLYING and FIGHTING in the air on frickin' BROOMSTICKS is beyond me!)

I really liked how everyone was all grown up and more mature! They've all developed into very fine actors and speaking of fine, did you see Emma "fucking gorgeous" Watson?! I don't know if I speak for the rest of the male population here but damn she's pretty!

Drooling and obsessing aside, I liked how the movie really took it's time to build up everything, which probably leads it to the major reason why people might not like it: it's boring and draggy.

However, one needs only to remind himself that this is ultimately just the prelude that builds up to the climatic ending of the series and in this regard I think it has done admirably.

All said and done, I'm pretty pumped for DH II! I'll sure as hell go and catch it on release next year no matter my studying obligations and if it isn't going to be the mindblowingly spectacular movie that Part I has hyped it up to be, then well fuck me.





Nah just kidding. It'll still have Emma Watson!

*insert generic and sleazy "enter her Chamber of Secrets" joke*

Till next time!

Blahblahblah

I consider myself a man of strong will. I strive to show not even the slightest hint of faltering in the face of the worst adversity and I'll take on all challenges, be it tough or nigh impossible, with every ounce of bravery I have within me.

Yet it is today that have to admit a resounding defeat. I have a confession to make, dearest readers. After all this time I've been trying to deny this but now it's dawned upon me that I cannot escape it.

I love smelling nice.

Yes, however terribly effeminate it may sound, it is true. I am addicted to the smell of my body and hair and achieving an irresistible scent has rapidly climbed up my list of objectives in life.

I am a self conscious smell slave :(

On a slightly less mentally unstable note, WHO'S EXCITED FOR HARRY POTTER 7? I know I am! Having devoted a good portion of my childhood reading time to Harry and his adventures, I'm really pumped for this one! November 18th is just 10 days away! Let's keep our fingers crossed it doesn't turn out to be the snorefest that was HP6.

In the meantime, here's a video of Hagrid to keep the hype building!



Random musing is over for today :D

Communicating Online

COMMUNICATING ONLINE

How to sound comprehensible

It's a lost art in the modern world, yet one so important that it needs to be constantly stressed. Your written words are key in the virtual world where facial expressions and verbalization are absent (there's video conferencing and Skype but eh you get what I mean), so it is essential that one masters this art of communication! Here are some tips.

1) Leave spaces

The widest, most conveniently located key on a QWERTY keyboard is the Space Bar. What is its function I hear you desperately pleading? Well to the unenlightened, the space bar functions as a key that inserts a blank gap/space in the field of input. It's kinda hard to tell you what it looks like, so here's an instance of ten spaces:

As you can see, it doesn't really look like much, if anything on it's own. However do not doubt its incredibly important functions! The space bar has been designed to input breaks in between other characters for clearer understanding.

Examples!

"iloveyousomuchithurts" sounds much more a cluster of unintelligible syllables than a sweet albeit stupid lie (how can it hurt?)

Instead,

"I love you so much it hurts."

Clarity my friends!

Call me a stickler for minute details or retarded, but I can't read when you don't put spaces between your words!

2) Leave spaces APPROPRIATELY

THERE IS NO NEED TO USE A SPACE BEFORE A FUCKING PUNCTUATION.

It's a basic rule of punctuation. Learn it.

3) Do not abuse caps lock

Capitalized letters are used for titles, headings etc.

Not for conversation because it equates to shouting.

Use it only when you're angry/want to be blocked

4) Punctuation

Sentences should be ended with full stops/periods. These things look like this ---> .

Break up your sentences with commas. These look like this ---->

Just kidding. I meant this ---> ,

Together with periods, commas enhance the ability of the reader to understand your statement.

5) Appropriate Usage of Emoticons

There's a time and place for everything. Do not use things unnecessarily.

"Hey there! :)"

"Hey there! :D"

This can be used to represent your happiness in talking to someone/make you look like you're trying to be friendly.

"Hey there! :P"

Huh?

Different smileys are used for different things. Here's a general guideline for some more commonly used ones.

:) / :-)

The classic smiley face. Used to represent happiness or general content.

"Thanks! :)"

"No problems :)"

:D

A slight variation of the classic smiley face. The wider, toothed smile represents a greater extent of happiness. It can also be used interchangeably with :)/:-).

:P

It's a face with a tongue sticking out. Used teasingly, possibly combined with sarcasm.

"Sure you did the laundry. :P"

"Your mom. :P"

:O

Used to express shock or curiosity.

"You did WHAT? :O"

"Aunt Leticia was killed by a falling kettle? :O"

-.-

Used to reflect the poor quality of your jokes/ideas/words. I'm not really sure what the face is supposed to resemble. I've alway found this similar to an eye-rolling face but the eyes are closed. Regardless, I call this the Asian face.

"Why did the chicken cross the road?

"Why?"

"I lied, he didn't!"

"-.-"

_|_

Used to represent the middle finger. Usually means you said something offensive.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? ONLY 99 FOR THIS TEST!?"

"_|_"

( )======>

Uh... it's a banana!

"I love to eat ( )======>!"

:P

Back

Back from the annoyance that is the end year examinations!

I decided to scrap all old posts and redo this thing. These new default layouts are prettyyyyyyy.

I don't really know what I want to do with this blog, yet I still want to keep this space so...

I shall abruptly end this post for lack of words!
