Bits and Pieces

Oct. 22, On The Return of Lost:

Megan: it needs to be 2009 RIGHT NOW!

me: I KNOW!

Gah!

Megan: oh my goodness.

me: It'll be here before we know it...

Megan: i know

6:22 PM 105 days? not so long

me: But I think the whole week-to-week thing might kill me.

Megan: welcome to the die hard fan club.

me: Yeah, I did have it pretty good watching the first 4 seasons all at once

6:23 PM Megan: hahaa

6:24 PM now you'll watch the show, your brain will start leaking out of your ears, and then you'll spend the first 20 minutes after the ep in a slack-jawed stupor.

its exciting.

Oct. 24, On Halloween:

2:08 PM Megan: i told my brother he needs to be barney from himym

me: Oh my gosh!!!!

Megan: i know, right?

2:09 PM I think it could be perfect

me: THat would be legend...wait for it, and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the last part is....dary!

Megan: hee hee!!

me: Have I told you who I decided to be?

Megan: no! who??

2:10 PM me: Well, everyone is talking about Sarah Palin and how many people will be dressed up as her, so I decided to go for the next best thing...Tina Fey!

Megan: wonderful!

that's awesome

me: (And, it's the easiest costume in the history of costumes. I've already got the glasses.)

2:13 PM Megan: nice one

i'm going to be a farmer. only because my niece and nephew are going to be a chicken and a cow, respectively

me: Cute!

Megan: It'll be fun

and easy. jeans, a plaid shirt, some braids and one of my friends straw hats.

2:14 PM me: :)

2:18 PM Now I'm thinking about Chris being Barney. That would be hilarious! I think he could pull it off quite well.

2:19 PM Megan: i think he could too

i think he wants to be Barney

like, not just for halloween

Oct. 26, On Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:

3:35 PM Megan: i really love that hermione thwacks him on the head.

at the end of that trailer.

3:36 PM me: :)

I love how at one part Dumbledore looks like Moses

3:37 PM Megan: hahahha

i think it will be a good movie.

but even watching the trailer, there are bits that are unrecognizable from the book.

me: Yeah

3:38 PM Megan: Which is fine, I suppose, on account of the fact they can't spend the whole movie in the Pensieve

me: Its been so long since I read the book though, that I probably wouldn't notice anyway

True

3:39 PM Megan: See, I just re-read the series because I thought the movie was coming out in November.

So it's probably better that they postponed the release so that I won't be as picky.

3:40 PM me: Haha!

You re-read the entire series?

Megan: It's what I do.

This was the first time I read the whole series consecutively.

And when I finished book seven, I was sad again.

3:42 PM me: Awww

3:43 PM Megan: Also, Romilda Vane ? Looks like a teenage Bellatrix Lestrange

I'm assuming that's the girl at the end.

Anyway, my roommie and I are off to watch some Pride and Prejudice

have a good one!

Thanks for sharing the trailer!

3:44 PM me: You're welcome. Have fun!

Nov. 3, On Mal's Birthday Party:

Megan: Yeah, start with that post, and enjoy.

anywho, back to your party

its fancy!

4:13 PM me: Fancy? My party?

I dunno about that

Megan: there's lots to do! and it's at church!

4:14 PM me: that is true

Maybe I've been underestimating it

Megan: mallory's party=parties at church=usually receptions=fancy

me: Hahaha! I love that logic!

Megan: It's unarguable.

4:15 PM me: Indeed. That is airtight.

4:17 PM Megan: That's it, I'm throwing that up on your event's wall.

Nov. 4, On Voice of Reason:

9:04 AM me: Okay, I don't want to bother you, but I had to tell you this. I've been reading the Voice of Reason blog, and I just came across this passage about the library that is, perhaps, the best thing I've ever read:

"When people found out about this main atrium it became the engagement photo spot for both book lovers and those who hate being in nature and do not feel it reflects them as a couple. I am all for people doing their photos here, because it's pretty and because maybe they would instinctively feel that piggyback photos would be quite out of place in such a setting. As opposed to parks, where you just automatically leap on each other's backs as soon as your feet hit the grass, apparently."

9:10 AM Megan: I know!!

me: And, also, my desire to visit the library has increased an hundred fold.

9:12 AM Megan: I don't know if I've told you this yet, but if I fall in love with a boy and he decides he wants to marry me, you need to tell him that unless he proposes A) on the roof of the SLC library B) in sight of the Ocean or C) in England, I might say no.

me: Okay, I will consider it my cousinly duty

Megan: Thank you.

:)

me: Of course.

9:13 AM Megan: I don't know if you've read this far in the blog, but she actually posts her own engagement pictures taken in the library.

They're beautiful.

me: No! I haven't gotten there. Ooh...jealous

9:17 AM I am currently looking at wedding pictures and I love love LOVE that she is wearing red shoes. I totally might steal that awesomeness.

9:18 AM Megan: I KNOW! My coworker wore red shoes, and it was amazing. Also, she's sporting a lot of damask.

me: Which is always a good idea.

Megan: and I love her dress. The sleeves are perfect, I think.

9:19 AM me: It's like a Jane Austen dress

except with less clevage

Megan: And I sort of want to steal her niece and claim her as my own. Except for that (knock on wood) Clara will probably be that old and I can make her cute for my wedding.

That's what I thought too1

!

9:20 AM me: Clara would be cute for a wedding now, though, too.

Megan: She would.

But I'm not getting married now.

9:21 AM Although, my dad said she's probably at the peak of her cutetness and its all down hill from here.

me: Hahaha! Seriously?

9:25 AM Megan: Yeah

It was hilarious

me: That's about as good as my dad calling me a sucker.
