Can you feel it? The magic!?
I just saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix tonight, and did I enjoy it! I'm a sucker for stories like these, with magic and fantasy and wonderful creatures. I can't wait for the last and final book to arrive: The Deathly Hallows...I did feel that the ending of Phoenix was a little too, abrupt. It tried a little too much to be Hollywoody with an uplifting "If we stick together, we're gonna be ok" kind of ending. Actually that's not what really bothered me. It's knowing what happens next, and having to wait another year. I guess what I'd like to see is after the last book is released, the remaining movies be filmed immediately all together, and released, perhaps with a month in between each premiere. Wouldn't that be nice, and they'd certainly make the same amount of money based on ticket sales! It would be a serious case of Harry Potter overdose though, with the public on severe withdrawal afterwards.
I finally found my next place to live, a townhouse. I'll be moving again, but it's a nice place. The complex was just built in 2004 so the buildings are relatively new. There is a pond view in the back, and it's two stories with two bedrooms. I'm pretty excited!
I think I need to get back to posting more regularly. This way I can keep my writing sharp, or at least trick myself into thinking I'm writing sharply. More importantly, writing will force me to sit down once a day to collect my thoughts, process them and record them. I wish I could write with a pen, and everything will naturally get recorded in the computer. There's definitely something magical about sitting down with some fine paper and fountain pen and writing down words. There's also a sense of power and liberation when one forms and creates a sentence to express the mind's many thoughts and feelings (my mind in particular may not have many, let's be humble and say at least one), some totally unconscious to my conscious self.
