Alternate things to do coz you can't afford a movie ticket

So, everyone who isn't living under a rock should know that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 is out soon [tomorrow/in a few hours my time]. And, as usual, some people can't watch it [like me], so let's examine what other things you can do in around 2+ hours [though I heard the movie only goes 90 minutes? that can't be right]...

Here's my list of "Alternate things to do coz you can't afford a movie ticket"

[1] Sleep - I hate sleep, but whatevs.
[2] Read - Of course, I'd stay clear of my HP books, lest I want to get depressed.
[3] Get Depressed - Well, someone has to put it out there. Dammit.
[4] Troll - Hey, I'm a Temper, ain't I? So are you.
[5] Write - What I'll probably be doing.
[6] Play games - Eh, we're all gamers here, so...
[7] Get a life - Uh... Nope...
[8] Reply to this blog - I recommend this! [I swear I'm only recommending this to help our fellow Tempers]
[9] Sign my Death Note - Just 'cause.

Anything else I forgot? Anyone there in the same boat I am?

... It seems that I am living under a rock.

I've stopped following the movies after they cut so much stuff out of the Half Blood Prince. First few movies were good, but I lost interest after the Order of the Phoenix. I'd rather read the books.

OR you could read the books and then hope they're better than the actual movie.

Technically, I don't have things I "normally" do. It's all mostly spur-of-the-moment, for the most part. I don't even have a normal sleep/wake cycle. And my mind has this habit of wandering off to who-the-eff-knows...

I'm not going to HP Deathly Hallows Part 2 until it's out for a week. I love the book/franchise, and I'm pretty confident the last battle is going to be awesome.
(Watching Molly lose her shit and kill Bellatrix will be satisfying, and pretty awesome.)
I liked Part 1 in that the movie didn't want to hold people's hands - the Deathly Hallows is not explained in detail, but enough to go - oh, that's why they are hunting them!

I'm going to be bringing some of my rubber stamps there! HP stamps of the House logos and the Deathly Hallows themselves.

So, this week will be in anticipation of the Deathly Hallows movie and I will be:
- ignoring all reviews of the movie (hard to do, as a friend writes a HP centric blog)
- playing videogames - I've been busy with Touhou DS and SMT Strange Journey
- selling stuff on ebay

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
