Must Read

Okay...this has got to be one of the most interesting books
I've read in a LONG time!

Amy Krouse Rosenthal is such a clever writer and her
book/encyclopedia about her life just inspired me to
write a volume of my own.

I feel like reading a collection of nonfiction books
I feel like creating a TABLE of just simple things that matter to me
I feel like stopping for coffee

I feel like buying copies of this book and sending it out as a gift
for no reason

Pick up a copy for yourself

30 For 6 Months

It has been 6 months since I've turned 30.
I still feel old.
I want to change things.

I want to have more adventures

I want to have a favorite sports team where I know each one
of the players name.

I want to play the guitar
I want to play the cello
I want to play the piano

I want to feel passionate enough about the Democratic or
Republican party and decide which one I want to vote for

I want to read as many books as I can

I want to travel ... I want to see the world ... I want to lean
many languages

I want world peace
I want peace within me

Harry Potter: Year 6

** WARNING - SPOILERS - WARNING - SPOILERS **

Well it took me about a week to finally finish reading
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ... its time for
me to let my feelings out.

1) The title "The Half-Blood Prince" made me think that
Miss JK was going to introduce a whole new character. When
Harry finds the Half-Blood Princes' potions book, I thought
this might be someone who will help Harry in the fight with
"V" ... and then .. and then ... we find out the Half-Blood Prince
is SNAPE!

2) I thought the whole "wont reveal my crush on you" between
Ron and Hermoine was cute at times ... then annoying at times.
When Ron ate the candy tainted with a love potion intended for
Harry .. from another girl .. and said something like "she doesnt
know I'm alive" .. I thought finally ... tell the girl. But NOPE ..
nothing is revealed between them. I guess it will be left for
the last book.

3) Is just me or did it seem like Snape and everyone else didnt
punish Harry enough considering the spell he used on Malfoy
seemed really dark/evil ... or was it just me picturing the pool
of blood and Malfoys body slashed open too descriptive for me.

4) Was the whole storyline with Fleur and Bill written just so
at the end when he gets seriously disfigured we end up liking
Fleur because she stays with him ... "Im pretty enough for the
both of us" ....

5) I dont know why ... but I really think Ginny did some kind
of love potion to make Harry like her ... its a mean thought ...
but He starts having feelings for her all of a sudden! I dont want
them to be together in the last book!! I mean come one .. Ron
being okay with the two of them together .. as long as she isnt
with anyone else.

6) Im really disappointed with Snape ... I cant believe he did what
he did ... I had wanted him to be the good guy .. and help out
Harry ... but It shocked me ... and Im sad of the outcome ...


Well overall ... its was a fun read ... maybe I'll get it in audio too.

Machine No Work

Today I did laundry again

I was carrying a basket of clothes and before I reached
the laundry room one of my neighbors said "machine no work".

She pointed to the second floor and I assumed she was
referring to the person who lived there probably said the
washer and dryers werent working.

I decided to go to the second laundry room further away from
my unit ... both machines worked ... I just felt that people are
just trying to get me away form the laundry room.

I was nice that they were looking out for me ... but what if it
was intentional ...

Strange Dream: Episode

Okay ... another night with a strange dream.

I was in this graduation ceremony (im one of the graduates) it
seemed like some kind of College Grad since the people there were
much older than highschool.

One strange thing about it was seeing Shirley .. my best friend in
high school ... in this dream. She's graduating too ... Im not sure
with what though ... heck I dont even know what degree Im getting.
There are some random people I know from highschool and
college who are scattered in the crowd.

At one point someone gives me an iBook to text message other
people (why not a cell phone? beats me). Anyways, another
person in this dream is KC who I havent seen for about a year and he's
there .. and we're talking.

But I have to leave to get back to my seat and chat online with
Shirley on my iBook. The graduation ends ... and somehow
Im in a Grad party but I dont know anyone there. I do know that
I see KC in the distance ... and he waves at me and I wave back
but then he's gone.
