So, honestly, I'm only naming this post "Harry Potter" to annoy one of my two official 'followers', stephen. and alan, if he ever reads this. even if i know half of his disdain for harry potter is just to annoy me. it's a two way street!
Anyway, it is appropriate, because since I just finished rereading harry potter 7 again, it's really been what i've been thinking about, and i'm sincerely longing for some good harry potter discussion with someone who actually cares. Which has led me to start listening to some old pottercasts from the leaky cauldron (partially also since i just finished harry, a history, by melissa anelli, the sites webmistress). i have been pleased to realize three things- one, they have a podcast episode with jo rowling! it can't get cooler than that, seriously. two, they have made their own commentaries of the movies that you can sync to listen to while watching the movie in the background. how many times have i thought about how much fun it would be fun to make my own commentary to a movie?! well, at least a few times, usually while watching a movie with emma, maxi, and catherine. i should make sure they know about this! three, they also have interviews with actors and such sometimes, which i also find exciting. and since the only thing to look forward to right now in the harry potter world is the upcoming movies, i find myself wanting to find out more and more. oh yes, and there is the wizarding world of harry potter theme park! which jo said she has had a large hand in, which is very exciting.
oh dear, but i digress. i forget that most of you don't care about harry potter the way i do. which always makes me mourn a little on the inside. but i still maintain a strong view that the books are about love and death, maybe, most important sacrifical love, a combination of the two. which, when you get down to it, is a huge part of the christian story, which is why, of course, it is such a powerful theme. the echoes of reality. *sigh*
i have also watched the appendices for the fellowship of the ring, and have renewed my amazement and appreciation for the awesome films of lord of the rings. and makes me wish i could have been involved. when they talked about sean ____ (sam) piercing his foot in the scene in the end and they showed footage of people bandaging it and such, i longed to be that person with gloves on opening up gauze and such. maybe one day i will find a future career in movie nursing. i think it would be fun....
anyway, i've actually taken a long break between this paragraph and the last... went to see bride wars with valerie and claire, and then i went to the computer lab and printed off all the notes for adult health one. let me tell you, that is one ginourmous stack papers. i can't believe next semester starts in just a few short days. there are only two days left of the intership! my how time flies! i've learned a lot, but it will be nice, in a way, to get back to class and start learning some new stuff. not that i'm exactly looking forward to the countless hours of studying and such, but i do enjoy learning. i'm sure i'll be longing for these simple days not too long into the semester. of course, when you think about it, these days will be the rest of my life... or at least, part of it.
now i think i will decide what to throw together for dinner and what to do with the rest of my evening. i'm thinking either starting on the appendices of the two towers or listening to a pottercast commentary on one of the harry potter movies... decisions decisions!

Sean ASTIN, Erni! Sheesh!
hah, you know i wrote that meaning to go back and fill in the blank when i remembered. i knew that i knew it, it was just that the only name coming to mind when i was typing was sean bean, and i knew that was boromir, which of course was wrong, and sometimes names just slip my mind.
...tisk tisk...I DO read this, though I did consider skipping this post in leu of the title....
