Welcome

Hello, fellow computer users! So glad you're reading my blog. Anyway, just wanted to tell you what this site is all about. I'm pretty much just blogging about books, movies, TV shows, music, and any other random thought that comes to my head (because isn't that what blogging is all about?). So sit back, relax, and START READING!

And a Very Harry Valentine's Day To You

As you may (or may not, if you're a guy) know, tomorrow if Valentine's Day.  Now, I could go into how some people L-O-V-E Valentine's Day and probably sacrifice goats to sustain the gods of love for another year, or I could talk about how some people hate the day of love and go on rants about it.  Seeing as discussing either is pretty overdone (and I'm too lazy for that - I mean come on, I haven't posted in, like, a month and you expect me to come up with a huge argument?  You people obviously don't know me well enough) I'm going to talk about something we all love - Potter Puppet Pals.

If you haven't heard of this hilarious YouTube sensation, you're probably living under a rock.  With no Internet.  Or human interaction (which leads me to wonder how you got onto this blog...).   But I like to accommodate everyone, even those who live under rocks, so I'll tell you a little bit about these videos.

Potter Puppet Pals is a spoof on Harry Potter.  They use puppets (bet you didn't know that) to act out scenes with the Harry Potter characters.  Even if you aren't a big Harry Potter fan, these videos are super funny.  And it's a great talking point with your friends that are Harry Potter fans (and don't tell me you don't have any friends that don't like Harry Potter).

My Top Five Favorites:
  1. The Mysterious Ticking Noise - The classic Potter Puppet Pals video.  Ask anyone who has watched these videos and they will immediately start singing this song (or at least attempt to).
  2. The Vortex - The first time I watched this, I sprayed hot chocolate out of my nose.  (word of advice: don't spray hot chocolate out of your nose.  It hurts)
  3. Snape' Diary (Extended version) -  Definitely the most quotable video.  "I hope you find your button, Snape."  "So do I, Orange One.  So.  Do.  I."
  4. Draco Puppet - I can't help but feel a little bit sorry for Draco in this one.  You'll have to watch to find out why.
  5. Wizard Swears - Probably the second most popular Potter Puppet Pals video (right after "The Mysterious Ticking Noise").  It's even rated PG-13 for language and boyish attitude.


Sad I didn't talk more about the people who love/hate V-Day?  Here's a video to make up for it: Messy Mondays: I Love/Hate Valentine's Day
