Hey, people! I'm not dead... sort of :)

So, New Moon is released in France today, and I saw it :D

Let me tell you that the sparkling Bella is bizarre :D The rest goes under the cut!

I'm back from the vacation, all shiny and new. We were at the Atlantic Ocean yet again. I really love the ocean, being near it, hearing it, watching how different it is every day. There's just something majestic about that much water! I really want to live there later.

In the meantime I finished reading Cassandra Clare's City of Bones and discovered that nobody bothered to read the book before publishing (like agent or something). Otherwise, they would have noticed a misquotation of Star Wars that even I, not the biggest specialist in the world, saw immediately. Judge by yourselves, here comes the quote from Cassandra Clare:

"True. I'd always hoped that when I finally said 'I love you' to a girl, she'd say 'I know' back, like Leia did to Han in Return of the Jedi."

Probably I'm mistaken and at some point Leia did say 'I know' to Han's confession, but what I remember is the classic scene where she says she loves him, and he says he knows back to her. There even is a story behind it, like by script Harrison Ford was supposed to say something like "I love you too", but he thought it was more in character to say "I know" instead, and the others liked it so much they kept it in the final cut.

Either than that, I didnt like the book at all. I found it flat and full of factial mistakes. Like when they entered through the back door, and then the boy was searching for the back door to leave. How many back doors are there anyway? I really had an impression that nobody bothers reading texts anymore, they just throw them in print like they are, and at the same time agents are always like, oh, we have so many manuscripts to read, we don't have time. Whatever.

Enough with my rant, lol. I hope you guys are having awesome summer.

I was trying not to go crazy with all the New Moon goodness released via the beautiful official site, but apparently I failed. They did fairly awesome job on that site, I just regret that the secondary characters weren't treated better. I would certainly not mind a Carlisle or Alice wallpaper! Although, the promo shoot looks drop dead gorgeous, here's to hope it would be released soon.

Despite the fact that NM is my least favorite book, I think the movie is gonna rock. It already looks more "adult" and professional. So, yeah, I'm having a major fangirl moment! Lol.  

Saw new Harry Potter today. Wow, I managed to forget how much I disliked this whole thing. The movie was over 90 minutes too long, and people were getting bored. Some played with their cells or their kids. The little one ahead of us was exploring the cinema hall and because of that I was giggling through the entire last part of the movie despite the tragic ending. Seriously, I don't remember the last time I waited for final credits so eagerly. Mind you, I haven't read the book so I can't really compare. Mom said some passages were missed out which hurt the continuity.

Anyway, we sort of had fun in spite of heavy before thunderstorm air and general heat. Looking forward to the end of Tour de France this weekend :D
