izmeinaAnother gooorgeous day in Izzieland. Not particularly much achieved but it was lovely, sunny and lazy
Dropped into Dymocks Fremantle enroute to getting the bus back to the Lair. Wanted to see if Izzie's baby Buchling had arrived yet. Ordered the gorgeous little critter way back in December. At this stage - is two weeks away before he lands.
Izzie says - Do feel free to read the little critter when it does come. We can be sure that you'll want to order some more for yourselves (Both of the staff are native German speakers so it's not a problem)
Then we figures - while there - may as well ask if the Potter covers are out yet. No point in placing our order until we seen them. Especially as the last UK one was so hideously UGLY.
They got it up on the screen and showed us. Did not think it was possible that it could be worse but it is. So looks like we'll be getting the one with the pretty locket instead. The alternative UK version is quite nice but nothing breathtakingly beautiful
So then we gets back to the Lair and slinks straight to the Azkaban dungeons and Oracle of Google to get the gossip. Oh most miffed indeed is the Izzie. Once again - the US version is just absolutely fabulous. Voldemort makes such a gorgeous Grinch - he just looks so adorably sweet. And Mary Grandpre's latest Harry looks far more like the sad and haunted but determined boy of the books than the blubbering blustering ugly idiot on the UK version who looks like he's been snatched straight out of Barry Trotter Land.
What sort of brainless bean counting idiots in Bloomsbury ever let such an abomination out of the lab? Dirty Ugly Smelly Horrid Harry. Looks like a grumpy bull let loose in a jewellry shop. For God's Sake - even John Howard is better looking than this freak. It's not like they couldn't afford to pay some one to do a proper job. Preferably either of the artists who did the covers of books 3 or 4.
Must be slinking off. Got a case to prepare for the jury tomorrow. Also got to do a refresher course on those unforgivable curses. Will be most definitely directing a few in the general direction of those Bloomsbury bimbos.
Well. At least there's still the pretty snaky locket to look at. They managed not to totally stuff up that cover.
