I told you so in May
(updating from the wilds. that is, mum and pop's msn connection.)
So I guess I've become the victim of my first ever surprise birthday party. Well, I told them I didn't want to do much this year. So I got dinner with family and suchlike, BOOKS! (whee!) and went to a movie afterward. Oh, and a birthday cake with a Snitch on it. And, apparently, special Zonko's brand magical un-blow-outable sparking candles! (Mom swore up and down there were no trick candles on the cake this year. Uh huh, sure. Fred! George!)
Have saved the Snitch; will devour it later.
The movie was X2. : Was amazingly good. Really. I had to look away the fight scene between Wolverine and Knuckle-girl.
Second: The dam is about to burst. Vast amount of water which are moving which you would rather stayed still. That is, froze. *You have somebody with power over ice.* So what to you do? Ignore him.
Third: Am convinced Professor X is evil. All the signs are there. Building a private army of fanatical soldiers, megalomaniacally named after him. Uses his powers haphazardly with no regard for ethics or the ideology he supposedly espouses. Lies to his allies. Has built a machine capable of killing everyone on the planet, which only he can operate. I'm sure there's more.
Fourth: #3 may, *may* have to do with my unhealthy admiration for Magneto. I liked him in the first movie, but now. . .:shivers: The scene where he was escaping is *sexiest thing ever*. Next to the scene in the computer, that is.
Fifth: The best character in the entire movie was the cat. Licking Wolverine's claws: /me melts. Am tempted to write fic in which Wolverine gets a kitten. Perhaps he could name it Lily? ;)
Sixth: I will have to read some actual x-men comics soon. Meanwhile, I am off to console myself with To Ride Pegasus. Or possibly The Once and Future King.
