Ah, well, saw that one coming.

[hackthis_archive]

For those of you who have been around a while, you know that when the last Coldplay LP dropped (August '02), I was championing it before it even hit shelves. Like the ODB once said '[we] go back like babies and pacifiers' -- and so it was with a lot of excitement that I looked forward to hearing X & Y....

And then I heard it.

And I'm saying it now, publicly, I think it's shit.

The five stars that Blender gave it and the brown-nosing that EW did? Bullshit. I'm talking about arse to the wall, and stains everywhere like Miguel Alvarez in Oz shit. Some albums are fifty-fifty, you love and you hate, some you love most and hate some -- this is just crap.

I feel like I should be disappointed, but I'm not surprised.



In better news: OMG I SO LESS THAN THREE HURLEY!!!!!

I haven't heard anything off it yet, and I'm so excited.

How awful to hear you don't like it :(

Good morning, sunshine!

Hey, wasn't I the one who supplied you with AROBTTH before it dropped? Carrie and I did GOOD. I think we snagged it a good three weeks before it came out.

And you know, I keep calling X&Y Be Here Now and I'm not even being sarcastic, I keep getting them mixed up... and also, I'm feeling really pissed at them lately. Like you, I feel I should be surprised in my disappointment but I'm not. Et tu, Coldplay?

[pir8fancier.livejournal.com]

Shit.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Heeee. Really.

[penguinparity.livejournal.com]

Which is kind of amusing, since last night I read something about how the lead singer of Coldplay thought they were literally the best band in the world and would be suprassing even people like Mozart in time.

O.O

Throughout history idiot boys and stupid girls have gone to hedgewitches for love charms and lust potions. Desperate for that tincture of *something* to make their dreams come true, they've sought out these ostracized women and have used them. And when wishes prove ephemeral, they *punish*, because shattered dreams are painful, and those in pain strike out.

Queenie Greengrass remembers all this and more when Ronald Weasley comes blushingly up to her after class, darting glances at Granger all the while. A school of witches, and he comes to her.

"Slytherins don't deal in dreams," she snaps, and walks away before he can even push the words out.

Well aren't you chipper and what have you this morning. Did you get my text about the tapes?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yes, baby girl, you and Caz done good with the AROBTTH. As for X&Y = BHN, you know, I actually liked some of BHN! This is just, meh. I know what you mean about feeling pissy lately as well, I had a rather heated discussion last week about Chris pissing all over Capitol and thinking he's god. His egotism is second to none, except maybe Mad Richard. No, even Richard never said his band was bigger than Mozart (?!@)

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

text about tapes? Uh...*checks phone*

yeah, no signal this morning. So no, I didn't. What did it say?

I don't know why I'm so chipper. I'm sick, and I've only had one cup of coffee thus far. I think it's the cold meds. Either that, or I'm reacting perversely to your morose summation of the new Coldplay album. yeah, I dunno either.

Dude, there was a thing on NPR the other day about that, and the band basically came off sounding like Class A whiners. I was going to email you about it and then, uh, forgot, I think.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, I did hear about that blurb. The thing about the lead singer is that he can be immensely charming when he chooses to be, and it's fabulous that he believes in his band so much, since it's the only way to make it in the industry. However -- he's also got a gob the size of the San Andreas Fault and there's this thing called 'tact' that he's not quite discovered yet.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

The text said a) I knew you were out last night so I taped Lost and most of Alias for you (I ah, used the wrong tape though, so I don't know if it got all of Alias, but since there was no Sark I wasn't paying attention) and b) I Love Hurley OMG !!11!!11! This is just the long version of that text. As for the chipperness, hey man, whatever gets you through.

*notices the Sobrensky Twist*

I have no idea what medication or what language you two are on about.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

*loves*

The thing of it is, Queenie's not a hedgewitch. It's not something she aspires to be. She doesn't aspire to be anything, in fact, other than alive and still (mostly) human on her 17th birthday. She doesn't have time for stupid Gryffindor crushes. And she certainly doesn't have time to explain any of this to the likes of Ron Weasley.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

You are far, far too good to me. *loves*

And don't worry too much about the Alias, I will spoil myself rotten for that one, because I just don't care *that* much.

Hurley! I already love Hurley, but I suspect I will love him even more when this is done, yes?

But at lunchtime, as she sits between Theodore Nott (does he know there is a cursed object in his satchel? She wonders.) and Millicent Bulstrode, she can't help but notice that Weasley is still darting those looks at her. Luna, interesting, is looking, too.

Queenie drags her finger along the rim of her goblet, slowly, musingly, collecting stray drops of water and rolling them onto the tabletop. Beside her, Millie shifts uncomfortably.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Dude, it's *Queenie*. She is a language unto herself, you know?

Um. We can go play elsewhere, though.

[circe-tigana.livejournal.com]

:P

[circe-tigana.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. Is it worse to think you're bigger than Mozart or Jesus? Discuss.
