Saw Harry Potter 3 tonight...here's what I thought:

Well, I thought it had an overal darker feeling than the other two movies. It also seemed to follow the book less than the other two, skipping on lots of details. Most of the characters were underplayed as the movie focused more on Harry and Hermione. Lupin's character should have been played by a younger guy, he just seemed too old. This movie also seemed less magical...they seemed to use it less in this movie, less lessons as well.

Overall it was okay, out of the first three books I probably like book three the best. Out of the first three movies, I like movie three the least. Disappointing.

Also, another major flaw was continuity. The campus changed a lot. The womping willow tree is in the wrong place as is Hagred's hut. Uniforms and dorm rooms as well as the castle itself changed quite a bit.

Weighed my pack last night for my trip this weekend. 25lb with food and 2L of water. Not too bad considering I opted for my Nova instead of the Pepsi stove, and I have started carrying my new camera with a small tripod with me.

Are you a normal human or a zombie freak of nature?

Take the Sleep Quiz.


Final Score: 17

On the wee side of "too cute to live, too stupid to die." Your favorite form of transportation is alone in the back seat of Lincoln Town Car and a Ritz-Carlton is considered down scale lodging. Then again, you might just be incredibly well-adjusted or depressingly resigned to the hand fate has dealt you. In either case, the instant response to your entering of a room is "Well, look who just had their teeth brightened."

Anne Rice is trying to interview you as a research subject for new zombie sequel. Morticians often ask you to pose next to various gray colored paint chips so they can get the perfect pallor for their display room. Doctor has suggested, hell, flat out told you, if you donšt sleep for three weeks straight, next vacation will be permanent and six feet closer to China.

what's up, I just woke up - just got back from biking/camping with my fam, was cool - I saw my first rattle snake, it made my bro wipeout, lol, it was exciting.

I head out for staff training on Friday, so i'll be gone after that, I have one more week with you guys then I'll probably see you in the fall. I'll check in every once in a while, but won't be able to hang out all night any more until school starts.

Cub scout punks! We had this campsite and they just came in and setup without asking when there were other spots open...of course if they had been courteous and asked we would have said yes but common courtesy was beyond them. They were acting a lil crazy so os1johnson and his friends decided it wasn't worth staying and left. Then we pulled the fire ring over to our "side" and they made a comment about us taking it. Punks! More in the TR tomorrow.

Dubs, the photo link you need is in an email to you. Send me the link to the photo you mentions.

The fire ring in questions was intentionally postitioned exactly dead center between our groups and theirs, and one of us specifically went over and told the scout leaders they were welcome to share the fire ring (with all our cut wood too). Instead, the scouts built fires on the ground in controvention to the rules which state: "6. Fires are prohibited except in designated fire rings or portable stoves."

Final Score: 11
You are living in a '50s sitcom. Wouldn't be surprised if your house is furnished in sepia tones, your dog is named Spot, and your 2.2 kids, Dick and Jane, often exhort him to "Run. Spot. Run." Mom does dishes wearing pearls and Dad is a big pipe smoker but only outside while barbecuing in an apron emblazoned: "The Chef Accepts Kisses." Might want to set your alarm to "Get A Life."

HEY!!!!....can I help it if I can sleep well!!!!

Well, I'm finally back from the Big Z also. Guess I'm the last one -- NJ is quite a ways from South-Central Ohio. The return trip seemed a lot shorter than the trip out. Maybe its because going back I knew where the heck I was going...

Btw Dubs, since you haven't posted a TR yet, I'll send you a like to my pictures as soon as I can post them in a few...

Honestly those scouts weren't too bad...just kinda annoying that they moved in without asking and then told us to be quiet at 9! Interesting TR to write.
