I GOT MY RON BOOK!

:is a spaz:

( lopj;lkk;oplu;lu )

You know. For a whole two pictures, this took an insane amount of time to post. Because my fingers just *wouldn't* work. Damn you to hell, Rupert.

:packs self in trunk:

ETA: I JUST FOUND HI-RES VERSIONS. OHJESUSOHJESUSOHJESUS.

Dear Warner Bros.:

Do not offer me Ron & Draco dolls action figures to play with. It...I mean... It's just not cool, ok?

Love,
Mona

Well, I like the Jack Russell terrier Patronus...

Meh. I'm going to chalk the midsection bulkiness to the shirt under the hand-me-down sweater. 'Cuz I've seen Rupert shirtless. Lord knows I adore the boy, but he's got a bird chest. Really.

Beefy Draco?

Doesn't look a damn thing like Tom Felton. LIKE, AT ALL. Also, I realise it's a doll, but it looks way too broad in the shoulders. Maybe it's the way he's positioned. Tom looks like he weighs a good 160-175 lbs soaking wet with stones in his pockets. He is not beefy.

If this is any indication, it looks like Tom might be in that ridiculous wig again for OotP. I know that wearing a wig is much less stressful to his hair than dying it platinum blonde over and over again, but I'd hoped they'd at least give him a better looking wig. ::sigh::

But Snape is ultra cool.

By far the best one in the lot; I almost want one. He even comes with Potions accessories. Hee.

And yes, I am aware that I've thought entirely too much about all of this crap.

On a different note, I will have to get a set of Ron and Dumbledore's Army stamps.

Real Life is boring and ush. So I'm not going to post about it.

Now for much funner things!

fmh and I have taken to watching the anime series, Fruits Basket. If you've never heard of it, here's the gist: There is this family, the Sohmas, who is cursed. When a member of the family is hugged by a member of the opposite sex, or when they suffered from severe stress, they transform into an animal from the Chinese zodiac. (Which makes me wonder...how do they keep ending up with Sohmas...usually there's some type of embrace to be had during sex...right?) Anyway, they've been able to keep this a secret for ages, but then this girl, Tohru Honda, accidently discovers it. And chaos ensues. And stuff.

It's a great show, and I say this as a person who's not a big anime fan. Some of the characters are downright scary (see Ayame), or annoying to the point of committing violence (see Momiji). And nobody apologizes as much as Tohru. She'll apologize for your hamster getting caught in its wheel, Chernobyl, the election of Dubya, the crucifixion of Christ...everything.

One of my favorite characters are Shigure, one of the oldest members of the family. He's a writer who lives to screw with his editor's head. And he has this fascination with high school girls. He even sings about it on occassion. I am so serious.



Another is Hatsuharu. Split personality. Can go from cool to omgwtfcrazy in 0.4 seconds. And his hair is two different colors. He even took a guy in the men's room to prove it.



But Kyo. That boy has eated my heart. *sigh* He's rude, brash, foul-tempered and has a chip on his shoulder the size of a redwood. But I love him to bits. No doubt because of what Kyo looks like.



And of course, there's this long time rivalry between Kyo and Haru. So the first time they meet, they start to fight, and...



Anyhoo. Fangirling aside. It's an awesome show. fmh and I often laugh out loud while watching it. 'Tis the funnest. Highly recommended and FDA approved.

In other spam, Tom Felton has apparently taken to pretending to use his wand to teach his...er...wand to do tricks.
