gmonkey42There are new, higher-res versions of the teaser shots from PoA. It looks very much like, in addition to having the scene where Lupin transforms take place during the day, the scene where Harry blows up Aunt Marge is also in the daytime. What's going on? But in the new picture of Snape deciding which of the kids to throw at Lupin while he escapes protecting the kids, the lighting looks weird. The sky is definitely too bright for it to be night, full moon or not. But the people are lit such that it looks like it's fairly dark all around and there's a bright light shining on them.
And, while I'm at it with the complaining, where the heck are they? They appear to be up on a mountain somewhere but they're supposed to be within reasonable walking distance of the castle. In CoS, it looked like the Whomping Willow was really close to the castle.
Dangit, kitty!Snape keeps wanting to step on my keyboard and my tablet. She's climbed up onto my shoulder. I got her a new toy about an hour ago. A mousie thing that you dangle from a string. She's already torn both ears and legs off. She's a destructive little thing. Now she's peering at me from behind my monitor. And she keeps trying to bite her tail.
One down side to my new hair cut is that it makes me look a lot older if I don't bother to style it. A few days ago at the supermarket, the checker called me Mrs. Rhett (because we have these club card thingies so they know your name). And today at the supermarket, a guy collecting for some charity said to me "Excuse me, m'am, are you a mother?" Gahhh! No! I just got out of college! I know, some people have kids and they're younger than I am. But I don't think anyone would ask a 23-year-old man if he was a father. And, of course, there's no title for men that indicates their marital status. I guess maybe he thought I must be a housewife because I was at the supermarket in the middle of the day. But I'm a government employee, I get today off! And they never just assume that I'm a student. TONS of students are there in the middle of the day. Bah.
Good news, though: I'm going to do some contract work through December for these two guys I know who started their own company. It'll be similar to what I'm doing now, except I'll get paid instead of being pressured to work extra hours beyond what I'm paid for. And it's all in the same lab (Dr. S is letting them use the lab here till they get set up in their own place). So that'll be cool. My shoulder's been bugging me and I think it's from work. So I'm going to have a facial and massage on Thursday to celebrate. The new job, I mean. Not celebrate the shoulder hurting. Yeah. I've never had a facial or massage before. I think it'll be cool.
