My family used to go camping a lot. We’d go a couple times each summer and we occasionally went in the fall as well. Each camping trip brought with it its own disasters such as us burning all the food on the campfire and having to eat bread the whole trip, the car breaking down, [...]

Not a day after I was lamenting the fact that nothing blog-worthy was going on, did something blog-worthy happen.

I realize that I haven’t updated this blog in over a week. Not only that, but my past five or so blogs have been about Harry Potter. Why? Because nothing that exciting has happened. Nothing blog-worthy has come about in my life. But, I feel the need to update despite the lack of excitement in [...]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was the funniest Harry Potter movie yet. I have never laughed so hard at a Harry Potter movie, yet I have also never cried so much during one. If you have not seen the movie, don’t read on. There will be spoilers a-plenty in this post. Even if you’ve [...]

Well, it’s not really new since it’s been around since Leopard came out, but it’s new to me. I hate iPhoto on Leopard. Yes, it has some cool features like face recognition and stuff, but it’s not cool enough to make me like it. I was not expecting it to be that different from Tiger’s [...]

The Harry Potter fandom has something new to squee about. It comes in the form of a musical. A Harry Potter musical. It was created by a bunch of college students from Michigan and has been on Youtube for a few days. It is absolutely amazing and incredibly hilarious. It encompasses much of the series [...]

I saw My Sister’s Keeper last night. I was quite excited about this movie for a variety of reasons. First, I absolutely love Jodi Picoult’s novels and My Sister’s Keeper is my favorite of hers. It’s actually one of my favorite books in general, right up there with Harry Potter and that’s saying something. Second, [...]
