The half-blood prince-

Ok, so I’m not all goo-goo over Harry Potter, but I do like it quite a bit. Today my family went to a private showing of the latest movie organized by a friend for a bunch of families at church. Some people (mom and Goose included) dressed up, but I decided to go as a muggle (not magical person). If you haven’t read the HP series then I highly recommend it. I’m not amongst the group that thinks that because it deals with witchcraft means we should quarantine it or we’d have to stop all literature for some stupid reason or another. Anyway, I think the series gets a lot more popular acclaim then the critical acclaim that it probably deserves. Whenever I’ve read or re-read one of the books I just am more impressed by JK Rowling’s writing.

Anywho I thought that the movie was quite excellent in that it keeps the important essence of the book while not being obnoxious to people that haven’t read it. But in watching the movies it can be hard to keep them separate from the books. It’s really easy to say “the book was better” but there really isn’t much need to do so if you just realize that they’re very separate and need to be taken for their own unique qualities.

Anywho.2 I’ve been thinking a bunch lately about the future (such a scary and exciting thing) and I’m just never certain of what I should do, want to do, or will do in the future however distant or near. I’ve never been one to rush into decisions, but sometimes I think (or maybe just feel, I don’t know which is better) the desire to drop the world around me and scidaddle to somewhere or something else. No, there’s nothing really around me that I fear that I want to run away from, it’s just my crazy wanderlust personality maybe.
