You know, I sometimes wonder why it is that I will go for weeks with posting things every few days, and then I hit a slump and don’t post for a long time. So yeah, this is apparently one of those slumps. Key things that are going on……
School: Am in the home stretch! I have finished all of my tech classes and have just a few more core classes left. This session is Science and Math. I love the science course, its environmental science, but I hate Math. I think my big problem is that I understand logical math and real numbers, but when it comes to variables and x+y-g=z crap I just get lost. Only 4 more weeks of that though.
Shoreleave happened last weekend! Cheeky Monkey Boy came up from Atlanta and shared some room space. This was very obviously not the same as Farpoint. Well, I mean the con itself is the same practically, but this time there wasn’t near as many close friends there. A lot of the core people that make the con fun weren’t there and so it was kind of a relax-con. This was Sarah’s first big con and I really wish it was more, but I guess that it’s nice to just easy into things like this. Since there wasn’t a whole lot going on we managed to slip away and see the latest Harry Potter movie and Transformers!
Transformers: It was like I was twelve years old again and playing with my Optimus Prime in the back yard. It was Giant F’ing Robots beating the crap out of each other! Honestly, what could be better? My only complaint is that the robots themselves were very busy looking. Too much detail made some of the fight scenes hard to watch. As soon as the robots locked together it was just one ball of robot rolling around until they separated. Everything else was pure cybertron awesome!
Harry Potter: Ok so I am not a HUGE Harry Potter nut. The books that I have managed to read were good and all, (I think I made it through book 5). The movie was good and a fun watch. I think my favorite character in this one was Luna. The girl playing her was just right for the part. As far as the new book goes, some people are just insane! Here we have the final book in one of the biggest book franchises in the last decade. Stores are most likely going nuts to just carry the book for sale. Some stores I was walking through had “Pre-order your Book!” signs all over like there was going to be some shortage of books! People lined up on Friday night just to be the first to get it and secure their copy! Saturday evening, a full day after the release, I walked into Walmart and they had a full pallet of books. No lines, just grab one and go.
Now I know that I have done some things like waiting in line for Star Wars Movies so I can see them on the midnight show. Mostly this is because of the people I am with at that time. When you go see a movie like that, it’s fun to see it in a theater full of people that care about it as much as you do. Pre-ordering something and waiting for it like that though, you are all fighting over who is getting to it first! I guess there are some stores that had special programs going with games and fun stuff for kids, and that’s good, but sometimes…..
Oh and for some fun, here are some Harry Potter Spoilers! (no, not really)
