Isn't anyone else just a little disappointed that we only get one shot of the Order itself in the OotP trailer. On the other hand ( Tonks! Mad-Eye! Kingsley! Random people! )

Though where on earth is Remus? Don't tell me Harry just decides to go along with the Order without Remus there. He's only been duped by a fake Mad-Eye Moody once before, which only lead to the death of one person. I suppose not quite as bad as choosing an escape convict over Snape before he gets an explanation like in PoA, but movie!Harry's a bit of an idiot (though he gives a good speech, I'll give him that).

Meanwhile my flatmate watched Daleks in Manhattan and she though the random decomposing thing was a Rutan too (well in her words "the enemy of the things" which I've translated to mean Rutans) and she's not half the fangirl I am (and I don't even think she's seen Horror of Fang Rock, just the documentary on Sontarans from the Sontaran Experiment DVD). Maybe the BBC is recycling old props.

Another thing, I cannot express how much I'm loving Heroes right now. Not only is there such a great villain in Sylar (I demand a Sylar vs. Voldemort cage match!), but one of the most complex and interesting relationships in the show is between a father and his daughter. It's tomato soup for the gen loving soul (Tomato soup is infinitely times better then Chicken soup.)

And finally, I was watching Singing in the Rain today and am totally in love with Gene Kelly. He's so dreamy.

Well, made it all the way through my first season of House DVDs and have spent the last few days completely obsessed with Dr. Chase, to the point where I had to get an icon. What can I say; I have a soft spot for blond sycophantic Aussies. Cannot wait until they release season two, I have a commitment on the night it is on and always miss it.

The weather is getting colder since winter is coming, so I’ve had to rearrange all my furniture so I can plug my heater in. The architect who designed the house I live in the 60s decided that power plugs were going out of style and decided to spare us potential useless eyesores by only giving us one socket a room. How thoughtful. Mine doesn’t even have a switch, so my room is a mess of switchboards and extension cords. I’m sure I’ll have to move everything around again when I inevitably find some mould, but for now it will do.

Meddow’s DIY tip of the day: A bottle of Tequila will make a halfway decent substitute for a hammer when trying to fix draws.
