interesting. i recently decided / came to the conclusion i was a ravenclaw (hello luna fan girl!) but with a streak of hufflepuff. apparently it was the other way round. who knew. i’m totes cool with that though. proud to be a hufflepuff. and kaspertron will be happy to hear we share the same common room after all! i'm off to buy me a hufflepuff badge to put on my chest. more internet retail therapy.

ps. you should totally read MARK READS HARRY POTTER. he's really getting into it too! awwcakes.

THAT GIRL SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MANSION.

101/365, originally uploaded by milk & kisses.

a few things in list form because i'm lazy and should go to bed:

+ i'm loving the new kate nash album, especially 'mansion song' and the hidden track at the end of 'i hate seagulls'. and everytime do wah do is played on the radio is kind of the highlight of my day. i just really like the riff in the beginning. it's simply delicious.

+ i feel better now that i've sort of sorted a bunch of distro orders and done a stock check. bunch of stuff's sold out though, and a bunch of orders are actually for stuff that's sold out. again.

+ i've been eating a lot of pasta salad (pasta, pesto, cherry tomatoes, two types of olives + parmesan) best evs lazy dinner / lunch. i think i'll be more or less eating that all week during my lunches. it's so nom.

+ order of the phoenix always gets me down because it's so extra woetastic. i'm being a bit extra everything at the moment, but i'm trying new strategies of coping. some inspired by not lonely #2 and some by my therapy homework.

+ i've started wearing my hair in bunches. except at work, can't be bothered with sarky comments about anything else. i should buy some ribbon to go accessorize with.

STANDARD BOOK OF SPELLS GRADE AWESOME

today while i was still at work, carl texted me "hey diddums can you get some triple A batteries. theyre for your present i just found for you. Xxxxx <3" obviously i was intrigued. so i got some batteries from work and walked up to uncle steve's to cuddle cats & get our easter eggs (i didn't have my keys and carl wouldn't be back from oxfam til an hour after i finished work so, might as well) and this is what i was handed when i got home!

a HARRY POTTER BOOK OF SPELLS electronic game that came out around the same time as the first film. it's pretty much the awesomest thing that ever awesomed. obviously it's a bit of a lamer electronic game with info about things only featured in the first film (no luna, boo!) but it also functions as a kids' pda. it's got a phone/address book, personal notes, rememberall (ee!) calculator and alarm clock. unfortunately it won't let me have the right year though. only goes between 2000 and 2009. oh well, i will live in the past. and i'm cool with that. i tried to find it on the internets but as it's kinda old, this was the best i could find.

in other news, carl also brought me a really nice feeling grey cardigan i'm lovingly wearing right now. work was ok. selling shit on play now too. *rolls eyes* and i got good post. i've received two trades this week so far and both of them, i've been a bad girl and not done my end of the trade yet. boo boo boo. gonna do my best to do something about them saturday at the latest. sorry emilja & amanda, i suxxors. this is why i should sort out trades the minute i suggest them. wrap 'em up right away, put them in the 'to send' pile.. fail. also, i made notes about saturday night's playlist and i think i may be a little genius, even if i say so myself.

MUGGLE POST

this is a letter i posted yesterday. i do hope it has enough stamps. not telling who it's for though. that'd be telling & spoiling a surprise.

FINNISH HARRY POTTER COVERS

i personally think they're the best ones. at least i like them better than the UK ones. possibly because they are hilarious. harry's got quite an epic quiff and all! i think dolores umbridge, or pimento as she's translated, is particularly spectatular on the cover for order of the phoenix. i've decided i want to own all the books in both english and finnish. (i think i've got all but first two in english..) must ask mummy to keep an eye out for cheap copies for me.. it's hardly likely i'll find any in charity shops round medway. i wish.

PS, by the way this is my copy of harry potter and the half-blood prince:

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

i'm drinking blueberry and pomegranate juice from my new-old ravenclaw glass. carl has the slytherin one.

that's all i have to say.

        they thought i was a total nerd
        and cos i took draco & neville & luna with me to see half blood prince
        i still have my cauldron!
frl.zucker: haha yeah everyone here also thinks it's so weird how nerdy i am about hp!
        i don't even think i know that much
        there's lots of details i do not know!
miss tukru:me neither
        just cos i've listened to all the audio books about five times in the past six months....
        except order of the phoenix, i've lost it
frl.zucker: yeah same here! i'm obsessively listening to them since i was 13 or something
        my dad always says i cant even go to sleep without them anymore
miss tukru:i've been listening to them in bed.
frl.zucker: nobody gets us ^_^
miss tukru:i keep falling asleep

        these weird paper things
        what ever happened to MASSIVE gold coins
frl.zucker: they have this funny pictures on them too! it's really weird, why would you pay things with PAPER
miss tukru:maybe i should READ order of the phoenix. old school. though i keep missing details when i read read :( i pay way more attention to lovely stephen fry <3
        and the pictures don't even move! what's the point!
frl.zucker: i started re-reading the books too just a week ago!!
        it's so different
        i love it though <3
        but stephen is awesome too
miss tukru:i is well bad at reading.
frl.zucker: i wanna do a harry potter cover redesign, thats why i'm re-reading
miss tukru:and besides i can't read and do the dishes or cook at the same time!
frl.zucker: haha <3
        maybe you could learn that spell from molly where the dishes wash themselves?
        you ask her?
        you should ask her i mean
miss tukru:i totes should


miss tukru:i kinda want harry the history
frl.zucker: like from other countries for example!
miss tukru:and i think i totes need tales of beedle the bard
frl.zucker: yeah i want all those books about hp too

        wtf is wrong with me?
        i should get mum to get me all the books in finnish!
        in finnish voldemort's name isn't tom riddle, its tom valedro
frl.zucker: oh really???
        in german it's tom vorlost riddle
miss tukru:yep
        im not sure if he had a middle name in finnish
        google will tell me
frl.zucker: i dont get why they change the name?
        i mean its really important!
miss tukru:Tom Lomen Valedro
frl.zucker: haha funny
miss tukru:cos it has to be an anagram
        tom marvolo riddle = i am lord voldemort
        tom lomen valedro = ma olen voldemort
        and so on
        remember, chamber of secrets
frl.zucker: yes i do, but

FROM COMMENTS IN FRL.ZUCKER's BLOG, HERE

tukru loves you said...

that's what i wanna do!

i may have to do my own version of this drawing.

i was gutted the other day when i realised there is no one in hogwarts i could easily be for halloween. no witches with a black bob & glasses. boo! you'd think we'd be plentiful. i guess i could always just be harriet potter. i have been called harry potter several times by random children, especially when i had short boy hair.

waay random rant.

(fuck this, i'm gonna go work for weasley's wizard wheezes. sort out their online orders!)

frl.zucker said...

you should tell yr boss if he's shit talking you again, ha! :D

you could be tonks! anyone could be her really. but yes, harriet potter is perfect. <3>

tukru loves you said...

i think it everytime i get annoyed at work. which is A LOT.

yes! i shall be tonks! i don't like movie tonks anyway, she's not at all like she's in my head. actually, she's more like me in my head. ha. just the problem of the glasses though :( i shall forever remain harriet potter (sigh)

damn, i forgot about the weird sisters! i could be their penny smith or something!

frl.zucker said...

we should totally be the weird sisters manager team. <3>

tukru loves you said...

hell yeah! the movie weird sisters, right? if they were real, they would be the GREATEST BAND EVAR.

yeah, movie tonks is rubbish weird, not awesome weird like she should be. (cos she is a bit weird..) maybe i should get temporary contact lenses just for being tonks.

frl.zucker said...

i don't care which weird sisters, i love both books and movie weird sisters! i also loveeee: the holyhead harpies!! gwenog <333>

- - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - -- -

yeah, we're just THAT cool & awesome.

IN OTHER NEWS..

i got me some new friends. let me introduce you to fred & george weasley! x

QUESTION

how did peter ‘wormtail’ pettigrew ever get sorted into gryffindor?

no, really. this is a serious question.

these are the kind of things i think about while doing the dishes. to be honest, i was listening to chapter one of harry potter & the goblet of fire, but still.
