"Bluebird" - by Josephine Wall |
I mean, I love the guy, but he's been hovering a lot since he's arrived and it prevents me from doing the things that require my privacy and concentration, such as blogging and writing. It's a bit frustrating for a huge introvert such as myself - and to think that I'll have to deal with this for the next two weeks... with barely any private time to spare before I start school on the 7th... agh.
Like yesterday, I remembered my dreams at about 7 or so, but then I fell back asleep because I've been tired. Staying up till 1 the other night seems to have thrown me off schedule. And it sucks, because once again, I remember my dreams being pretty interesting/informative.
Today's draw is for Hopi Time of Renewal, which is based on finding the best way to purify and renew oneself. The card that popped up for me is Three of Water - Flora, which is a totally appropriate card seeing how it's based on fertility, creativity, and abundance. So this card basically tells me to get involved with creative endeavors, but to enjoy them from the heart. That's the key here. So yes, this is very fitting.
Because of my brother's presence here, I'm not expecting much to happen for the next couple weeks. I could be wrong, but the guy always hovers - and what's worse is that he adores my bed (memory foam), so he spends all his unoccupied time lounging on it, talking about things, and, much to my annoyance, repeatedly telling me to try Guild Wars 2. Seriously. He mentioned it at least 10 times yesterday. It's taking quite a bit of patience not to snap at him; I think he has the impression that I'll cave in.
We went to see Hobbit yesterday. I have to say - it was a lot better than I expected, although I feel bad for my dad, who claimed that he was 30 minutes into the film when he realized he "can't watch films like that anymore." It was very inspiring for me in regard to Winterspell stuff... even watching the trailers and previews beforehand got me fired up, thinking: one day, my work will be here. The visuals - especially the environments and scenery - were freaking beautiful. So yeah. I gave it an 8/10, but I'm not a particularly strict critic. In fact, I tend to look for all the good things in a film.
My brother and I then watched half of Attack of the Clones last night, but we were both tired, so we're finishing the rest of it today. Meh.
And finally... Merlin.
I was all over the place watching this episode. For starters, I couldn't watch it seamlessly without interruptions like before because - you guessed it - my brother kept lurking. I didn't want to watch it in front of him because 1.) he would begin making stupid comments about it and 2.) I tend to get really into a show/film, which means I prefer watching it alone.
At first, I freaked out because the normal YT user had her second account deleted and she stated she would no longer be uploading. But I found that another user had uploaded it... and watched half of it before my brother came upstairs and began lounging on my bed. I watched a bit more while he showered, but then he came in and asked if we should watch Star Wars, and I knew that he probably wouldn't be leaving anytime soon, so I decided to save the last bit of Merlin for later.
To be honest, I was a bit disappointed. The preview for this episode had me excited, but... I don't know. It didn't really come through for me. There were a few moments I really enjoyed - such as that lovely Arthur/Merlin moment ("Find the path!") and the scenes between Merlin and his father; however, the rest of the episode seemed very slow and uneventful, and it makes me wonder if this was just building up to a really epic finale. Based on that awfully short preview, I can't say I'm entirely pleased to see where this is going. I can understand, however, why they're taking the "old man Merlin" route.
I'm hoping the lack of information about the final episode means it'll be really good. If not, then... shame.
At least we don't have to wait too long to find out.
Hoping to have some private Winterspell time today...
