Two hours until I leave!

Dishwasher advice I got from the stovetop delivery guy today:

@cleolinda: HUZZAH! Stovetop has been delivered; I can go pass out now. Also, appliance guy told me something interesting: dishwasher soap doesn't melt

@cleolinda: (it has to melt?) until a certain temperature, so if you run hot water in your sink before you start the dishwasher, you'll spend less time

@cleolinda: & energy heating up water and you'll get an immediate soapy cycle instead of just cold water doing not much of anything. So he says.


Another quick smattering of linkspam while I rest up for Midnight Harry Potter:

Half-Blood Prince Review Roundup; 'Half-Blood Prince' is witty, spectacular and one of the best; 'Harry Potter': EW review.

Heyman: Imelda Staunton to Return as Umbridge for Deathly Hallows; John Williams' Return to Harry Potter is Officially a Possibility!

I keep thinking Radcakes can't get any awesomer and I keep being wrong:

You've said recently that you would like to date older women. You know who's older, single now and likes British guys? Madonna.

Christ. I don't think that I'd do my chances of working with Guy Ritchie any good.

Gary Oldman reportedly taught you bass guitar on the set of 'Potter.' Have you ever considered starting a band?

No, he gave me one bass guitar lesson. [...] I haven't played bass in years, I gave it up because I wasn't getting any better. You have the realization of going, "I don't know what I'm going to do with this." And also bass isn't an instrument particularly that gets you laid. On its own, cool, but not like guitar, you can't really be a flash bastard with bass.

* That dude who thinks Victoria loves him but she's only using him to build an army of disposable vampire losers to kill Bella or whatever. Yeah, I forgot about him too.

IS THIS TRULY REAL LIFE?!

;_;

"And also bass isn't an instrument particularly that gets you laid. On its own, cool, but not like guitar, you can't really be a flash bastard with bass."

I think Victor Wooten (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Wooten) would have a thing or two to say about that. I never had a good way to describe him until "flash bastard" came along!

[blue-badlands.livejournal.com]

Jaco Pastorius would most certainly have something to say about that too.

[mumford519.livejournal.com]

Glad you explained who Riley was since I didn't feel like looking him up.

Can't wait for Percy Jackson, it looks like they did it right. Although Percy isn't like I pictured him but I can deal.

Have fun at HBP! I wish I could go tonight but since I have to be up at 6 am, I am not that dedicated to a midnight movie.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no one can ever remember who he is. I finally came to think of him as "the beginning of Edward and Seth's bromance."

TOM RUN RUN RUN NOW HAS RPATZZ TAUGHT YOU NOTHING????

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

RUN LIKE THE WIND TOM

RUNNNNNN

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

Hammer pants for the win!

[orca-girl.livejournal.com]

The pics at the end truly make it. MWAH!

[minerva-one.livejournal.com]

I am so excited for the Percy Jackson trailer - I adore that series.

Thanks for sharing!

[jasonbeast.livejournal.com]

You CAN be a "flash bastard" on bass, but it takes a long-ass time to get that good. I heard/saw an amazing rendition of "Stormy Monday" that was nothing but vocals and upright bass. Bonus points for awesome bass-playing while singing.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Those last two links are GOLD.

[bgmaster.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been giggling over the 'things to say during sex' thing all afternoon (it was linked to me earlier in the day).

"I just pooped. A lot. On your dog." "Heil Hitler!" "Yabba dabba doo!"

[zeelandia.livejournal.com]

I kept saying "Wow, I don't remember HP being so funny!" I laughed more during the new movie than any of the others. That and the pacing is just so much better!

Radcakes is my new favorite name.

[jadesfire2.livejournal.com]

I would totally jump Nate Query, bassist for The Decemberists (and I'd bring that flowchart with me)

oh nate, you are so dreamy with your upright bass

[dives.livejournal.com]

I Agree With This Comment so much that I actually wrote out "I agree with this comment" instead of "iawtc"


except I am a prude so instead of jump I would, I don't know, giggle like a 14-year-old girl and determinedly look the other way every time he walked by or something

but I agree with the sentiments wholeheartedly

[r-a-black.livejournal.com]

My heart nearly broke when I heard the Tom Felton news. WHY TOM, WHYYYY??

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not "news" yet; it's "fans want him to play him," with a side of "lol, I'll tell you if it happens."

[tully-argyle.livejournal.com]

I haven't heard 'flash bastard' in awhile, that made me smile.

I read 'The Lightning Thief' and then did not continue with that series. But I pictured that kid younger and more of a Freddie Highmore type.

[clodia-risa.livejournal.com]

You know, I like costumes, but I never got how you could be so fascinated with them. Until I started really looking at these Alice in Wonderland pics close up. Man - the textures, the patterns!

[mazarin221b.livejournal.com]

BEST. AD. EVER.

And now I want Hammer pants.

[julietvalcouer.livejournal.com]

I'm not even manly (or a man) but now I want that Xterra. Not the Hammer pants.

[salamandersam.livejournal.com]

The more interviews he gives, the more I enjoy Danrad. He just seems awesome.

[paradoxhorizon.livejournal.com]

Huh. I don't know if Stove Man is right, but we've always run the hot water first before starting the dishwasher (if the water isn't hot from dish-rinsing directly prior to dishwasher-running, that is) and I experienced a moment of, "Wait, not everyone does that? That's not just how it's done? There's actually a reason we do that?"

And then I felt like I had to share that with the internet, I guess. I don't know. It's a billion degrees here and my brain has melted into goo. Hello, also, this is my first time commenting here, I think. :D

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hi hi!

[harveypenguin.livejournal.com]

I drive an XTerra. Does it shudder when I get in in a dress? Maybe that's why four radiators broke in a row--to escape my girliness.

[lilyofshalott]

Seeing the promo pics for Alice makes me want to see the movie even more—that's such a lovely dress! Also, is that meant to be the Dormouse in her hand? ^_^

[megalosaurus.livejournal.com]

man, I didn't want to be a fan of Daniel Radcliffe, but between this interview and his interview with the little girl at scholastic news...I find him adorable/hilarious.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

The "Things to say during sex" diagram has pretty much made my life. I could look at it for hours.

Have fun at the movie!

[pbrim.livejournal.com]

Best ad ever, srsly! But then, it's from Schertz -- I didn't think they even knew what Abercrombie & Fitch was! When my father-in-law got thrown out of every bar in Pawelekville in the 40's for starting too many fights, he had to go to Schertz to do his drinking.

[sugarcages.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, I don't think I can take another incarnation of Draco in leather pants in another crazier fandom.

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

One wonders if Oldman learned bass when playing Sid Vicious...

[tabbyclaw.livejournal.com]

That's the second time I've scrolled past your comment too fast and thought you were wondering if Obama learned bass when playing Sid Vicious.

[rhoda-rants.livejournal.com]

I really want to love Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, because I'm a fan of hers generally, but that just seems like such an odd casting choice. Time will tell, I guess.

[jdotmi.livejournal.com]

It's a Tim Burton flick. EVERYTHING is an odd casting choice. That's like a rule. Well, it's just odd or it's Helena, which typically still qualifies in the odd.
