For my seems to be annual LJ post, I figure I'd talk about Harry Potter.
Well, it's an hour away until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is officially released. My brother and I are very excited. Other brother has finally started reading the books, and is about halfway through Goblet of Fire. My mom has watched the movies, but insists that I should download it online now. Want book. And I'm not going to someplace at midnight and buying it then, because when I get my hands on that book I want to read it immediately, and I want to be fully awake for it. I had to take a nap through my first reading of Half Blood Prince because my eyes were blurring the words.
Funny story (well, not really) on how I might not obtain the copy I preordered from Amazon tomorrow. I set the order to be shipped to my dad's house, as that's where I usually am on Saturday. Dad left for Europe on Tuesday, and stopped his mail. If it's not at the post office for me to pick up, I'm going to have to go buy another copy, or wait for my brother to finish reading the copy he intends to buy tomorrow morning.
So why did I just go into my Amazon account and change the shipping address? Don't think I didn't try. I realized this address faux pas a week before the book was due to ship, and realized that my account wouldn't let me do anything to the order. I emailed Amazon to see what was up, and I got an email back saying that since the item was shipping soon, they can't do anything about it. Their solution? Place another order to my mom's address, and by the way, they can't cancel the other order. Fuck you, Amazon. If I'm buying another copy, it won't be from you.
Anyway.
( In honor of the release of the last book, here are some random thoughts I've had about the series lately, given my reading of books one, five and six over the past month or so. No spoilers for the last book. ) |

I'm still a very avid Jeopardy watcher. So much, in fact, that I've been reading Ken Jennings's blog since the day it went up. Ken Jennings was the guy who went on the show two years ago and won $2.5 million. Throughout his run on the show, he frequently had a quick sense of humor, contributing such clips as these, which is still one of the funniest things I've ever seen on the show.
Anyway, about a week ago, Ken posted this entry to his blog. I laughed hysterically at it. I mean, come on! Angry bees!
Apparently, someone at the New York Post thought it was a serious jab at the show, and published an article claiming so. It was picked up by Yahoo, CNN, Fox News, USA Today, and so on, and so on. Dozens of people showed up on the message boards on Ken Jennings's website to flame him.
God forbid these people ever read The Onion. Take a joke. Recognize sarcasm. Don't be such idiots. Poor Ken. |

I doubt that most people on my flist even watch American Idol, but I have an overwhelming urge to criticize.

Okay.
I watched the last episode of Celebrity Fit Club to see how much weight they all lost and all that. When they weighed Mia Tyler, she proclaimed that the jeans she was wearing was a size 11.
Hold up.
1) Mia Tyler is a plus size model. I don't think I've ever seen a plus sized clothing store sell size 11 jeans. Not even close.
2) This woman is two inches taller than me, fifty pounds heavier, and wears the same size jeans as me?! What the fuck?
That's it. I, with my size 11 ass, am starting a new career as a plus size model. |

Figured that if I'm going to to do something to do with this LJ, I'll use it to talk about Lost.

You Are a New School Democrat |
You like partying and politics - and are likely to be young and affluent.
You're less religious, traditional, and uptight than most Democrats.
Smoking pot, homosexuality, and gambling are all okay in your book.
You prefer that the government help people take care of themselves.

Kerry concedes, and Delphi crashes within minutes. Coincidence? Hell no. |
