Yesterday all sorts of chaos ensued complete with water-guns and honey-covered banisters. Yes it was Muck Up Day, the last day for us before the terrors of public exams and the only day we get to go crazy. Well, a bit crazy then we have to immediately clean it up (Clean Up Day 2007!) under the watchful eyes of Fothers. But there were water-guns, Sexy Back in assembly just as Mrs. McCabe started talking and confessions from year sevens due to our fake official letter concerning excessive peeing ing the swimming pool (God bless gullible year sevens). We even had a frigging bouncy castle and ice cream truck !  Also there was a fire alarm during the IB english exams and GCSE russian orals which we SERIOUSLY DID NOT DO! Oh well, what's the point, they're going to think we did it no matter what we say. Here's some photos of the day courtesy of Calli (the one with blue hair), Ashni, and Alishah:

After M.U.D. we saw Spidey 3. Oh man. It was good, it really was but... it should have been so much more. (Here is when I begin my fangirl rant so you might want to ignore the next part.)

It just feels like Raimi gave in and just did what's expected in the last of a trilogy. More action sequences, more bad guys and more pointless comedy. I was so looking forward to Venom. I mean, forget about the classic Spidey villains he's the best. But he gets such little screen time for him to make his mark. And they didn't get into the psychology of the character which is the most interesting part. It was more here's Eddie, Eddie want Peter dead, Eddie becomes Venom, Venom is big and has fangs, Eddie dies. Raimi always said he didn't like Venom so I suppose you only take a character as ar as you see them. 

Then there was the pointlessness of Gwen Stacy. I mean seriously why was she there? And why oh why did they have to give Flint Marko the lame I'm-only-bad-coz-I-have-a-sick-daughter back-story? And Emo Spider-Man!? What the hell was up with the emo hair (and the hair flick and random dancing and pretty much all of when Peter is under the influence of the symbiote)?

However I did like it. It's funny, I always try to hide my comic book geekiness but at the same time I totally get a kick out of it. I love that I can spot the traditional Stan Lee cameo before he starts talking just from the back of his head. I love knowing that J K Simmons IS J. Jonah Jameson. I love being a fangirl.

Okay that's enough now. Enjoy "study" leave everyone!
