Brings me java. Brings me joy.

Flashback about five years ago. Picture my mother and I driving along listening to Saturday Night Show Tunes on KOZY 106.5. Yeah, you read it right. You may reread it if you'd like.

Anyways...

This hilarious song comes on. We've never heard it, but make sure our drive is longer than the song. Never has a show tune been so funny. And so you can all laugh your way into the long weekend [for those here in Utah at least] with this:



and because of the joys of YouTube. We have an answer to her love song.

side note: she says the name is Kristen and he says the name is Lindsay. Minor detail ... just overlook it.



Have a fabulous weekend.

But wait I have more ... Congratulations to Kelsey and Riley. I'm so excited for you both.

And now I'm done.

Ten Points for Gryffindor!

Disclaimer: I am no movie critic. This is just a post about my thoughts on the movie.

Remember this love that I have? Well the movie finally came out and I went and saw it ... at 5:30 am. Crazy? Maybe a little. Fun? Always.



I consider myself to be somewhat of a Harry Potter expert. I love the books, I've read them all multiple times. I love the stories, the characters, the twists and turns, and Hogwarts. I also love the movies. They are different from the books (some are worse than others). This I think can be expected when the books are SO full of details and the movies are already getting close to three hours. Things will be left out. So I have learned to go in expecting not to see every scene that was in the book.

Anyways ...

Half-Blood Prince. I love it. The cast is outstanding. This Dumbledore finally convinced me that he knew how to be Dumbledore. I laughed out loud through many parts of the movie. I know, I know, it doesn't take much for me to laugh out loud, but still this movie was funnier than all the other ones. Much appreciated too. Drace Malfoy was impressive. I actually wanted to like him, wanted to help him figure out a different way, and was sympathetic with his situation. Don't even get me started on Hermione. I mean we all know how I love her.



This movie is a build up for the next two. Which I can't wait to have come out. But I do have an issue with the movie. This actually isn't just with this movie, but with all of them. It is this:



She's yet to portray what I feel is the true character of Ginny. Ginny is beautiful, sassy, intelligent, and an awesome witch, but I just feel that in the movies she's just there. And what's with her being taller than Harry? Ugh. I guess when you cast everybody pre-puberty it's a gamble you have to take. Anyways, it's really not that big of a deal just a personal wish that she was able to capture the awesomeness of Ginny. Oh well.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is excellent. See it. Does it fall short of the book? Of course, but when has Hollywood ever been able to make a movie based on a book better than the actual book?
