What A Random Day

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I tend to write last thing at night and I was tired. Sue me.

Anyhoo, very mixed bag of stuff yesterday, which left me feeling fairly happy.
I finally saw the last Harry Potter film with my mum and my brother. Two words: Absolutely. Awesome. It was kind of a memory test, because I haven't read the books in years, and I actually stopped watching the movies for a while; I saw Deathly Hallows Part 1 on a coach leaving Berlin at the end of a History trip last year. Major props to Helena Bonham Carter (who plays Bellatrix LeStrange) who had a major bit of multiple personalities to deal with. My mum and I worked it out after the film ended:

Confusing much?

After that, we went out to celebrate my exam results and had a very nice meal at a local pub. I had chicken breast stuffed with ham and cheddar, served with wild rice and a spinach and parmesan sauce, followed by mint ice cream covered in chocolate. Yum!

Finished off the day with the first ever Comedy Prom on the BBC, hosted by Tim Minchin, who I absolutely love. He is an incredible comic musician from Australia, and he performed a few of his well known songs as well as some new ones, in between several other comic acts, including Doc Brown rapping about David Attenborough and Sue Perkins conducting a song about the middle class, which was 'sung' by puppets. Utterly mad and utterly brilliant all at the same time.

This evening we watched last night's Doctor Who, which we recorded while we were out; I was thoroughly confused after less than five minutes. The episode was really good, although, considering it was called 'Let's Kill Hitler' the Fuhrer didn't make much of an appearance; he was around for a little while, then Rory locked him in a cupboard and he wasn't seen again. I think they could have used the setting a little more, but hey, I'm not Steven Moffat, and it was brilliant all the same.

Also, my parents and I watched J.K. Rowling's 'Who Do You Think You Are?' via iPlayer, with my dad's laptop plugged into the telly. It was really interesting to see the roots she had, which ended up being French with a smattering of German. Very good program, absolutely loved it.

I will attempt to be more prompt with my posting, but I go back to school next Monday (groan) so I may be slightly exhausted then.

Quick FanFiction note, I have No More Bella Chapter 15 in the works, as well as another little project based on a Taylor Swift song that has been stewing in my head for months. Not sure when it will come out, as I'm planning for one or two very long chapters, rather than lots of shorter ones.

Until tomorrow,
