Picking up where I left off yesterday, before I was gripped by the demigods of sleep!

See ya there!

NEW FORMAT FOR LIVESTREAM

I'm happy to announce my recent stint with the Mexico City Advertising Industry is over, and Comission slots are once again open. Not that it matters, you deadbeats never buy anything.

I keed, I keed... actually I have been getting some comissions through this page, just not by DeviantArt users. Apparently, it's better advertising for people outside this market if you can believe it.

Anyway, after resting up I decided to treat myself to a day off, which I spent in exhaustive scientific experimentation: I 'adquired' and saw, back to back, all six Harry Potter movies, guage the effect of bad fiction on the physique and psyque. I catalogued the results with extraordinary findings, which I published on facebook upon completing each film.

The following are my exact recordings:

Stage 1: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Oh, Hermione, I can see you're going to be an unconscionable bitch for six straight films. Right off to a shakey start...

Oh, and what's with Voldemort living in the back of some dude's skull?! I can see J.K. Rowling was a Total Recall fan...

Mood: bemused, Sanity: in check, Blood Pressure: 120/80.

Stage 2: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Quittage has to be the dumbest game ever.

Elaborate rules, complex maneuvers on 3 planes, intricate teamwork… does it matter when all it takes is for ONE dickhead to get a golden little shitball and end the game? The mind reels.

Mood: dumbfounded, Sanity: strained, Blood Pressure 138/87

Stage 3: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

What's up with this bullshit discrimination against muggles? Wizards would do well to remember that although we muggles aren't mana-versed, we have nuclear science.

Let's see you 'Expelliarmus' a fucking ICBM hurdling at you at 1500kph.

Mood: offended, Sanity: holding, Blood Pressure: Spiking

Stage 4: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

I have grown fond of Hagrid, the gamekeeper with a severe pituitary disorder.

But somehow, I can't take Voldemort seriously as a villain. It doesn't matter how many 'volds' and 'lords' you insert into your title, if your name ends with 'Mort', you sound about as threatening... as an insurance salesman from Topeka, Kansas.

Mood: unimpressed, Sanity: barely here, BP: climbing

Stage 5: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Finally, things are getting semi-entertaining. But, alas, I am left with a bitter taste in my mouth, for though I prayed she wouldn't, in the end Rowling proved she is a complete hack by using the ever over-used plot device of 'The Chosen One'.

And I'm still waiting for someone to kick Hermione in the teeth.

Mood: Bitterly disappointed, Sanity: Dwindling, BP 118/78

Stage 6: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Loved it, it's got it all! Moody directing, bathroom gunfights, personal injury, even a metaphor for cocaine abuse! It's enough to forget Rowling's use of literary clichés.

Still, I am very angry with Harry for passing up playing hide-the-pickle with the hot black chick f...rom the diner to go galavanting with that pedophile Dumbledore.

Mood: fun, Sanity: huh? BP: Stroke

Anyway, this obviously inflamed a good deal of my circle, as they are ardent Potter fans... teens and venerable adults alike.

My beef with Harry Potter is not the quality of the books, but the fact that people, kids and adults alike, rave about how it's the literal top of the fantasy literature hill. It's obvious that they don't read anything beyond mainstream.

I know this for a fact because any adult who can read how in book the author uses time-travel as a plot device and not feel insulted is either a idiot or has the literary faculties of a child.

I mean, they're great stories, and it's great material for movies, but you can't ask a well-read adult with the great classics under his belt, like me, to take time out of serious books to read J.K. Rowling's fluff.

When you've witnessed the first rising of the sun and the arrival of the host of Feanor upon Middle-Earth, wept with King Priam as he begged Achilles to part with the body of his son Hector, and trembled before the dread roar of Cthulhu as he summons the abyss of the ages...

Well, you'll be hard pressed to take Harry Potter as serious fiction.

Oh, and read on to find out the coming Livestream schedule.
