yeah it's sunny and about 55 in Spo-kompton!! WOOHOO it's SOOO warm!!
its HOTT and HUMID here, with blue skies...
And clouds its on and off with the overcast thing but humid
The weather here is so Oregon. We had it so warm yesterday that t-shirts made you sweat. Today it's cold and rainy.

yeah it's kinda like Tyler described around here... or anyway, in the mornings it's cold but by mid-afternoon it's positively glorious. By the times it's evening and night it's back to being cold. I'm not annoyed by it or anything, though I am constantly changing clothes. I thought that I'd have all this time to sleep over break; I guess the joke's on me. I've had, if possible, and even more sporadic sleeping schedule over break than at school. It's still grand to be home and see people. Hope no one is working too hard, especially not you Whitney. I've already left you a message on facebook but for good measure, have a happy birthday, though I'm QUITE sure it can't be as good as last years ; )
Hmmmm, there is a 180ish page count difference between the bloomsbury and Scholastic versions of Deathly Hallows....
for reals...we're back to that?
heck yes we're back! I don't remember the page difference in OotP but it was pretty big as I recall. As for that movie, I hear it's the shortest one yet which makes me mad because it's the longest book of all and you'd think they would get with the program and make a movie fitting the length of the book. Also Tyler, I assume you've seen the covers for book 7?
All 3, but I haven't been able to find out how long the movie is.
On another note, the weather here is warming up, again.
Also, I leave for home early early may...so I'm entering my last month of college in my freshman year...
Right, figures i just found the length. About 2hr 20 mins...not as long as it could have been, but still long.
Anyoone want to see it at I-max?
Right so this is again where I zone out of the conversation because I have nothing to offer...
Hey, we tried to have normal conversations, but nobody said/says anything!
Have some bad news and need to gripe a little, hope ya'll don't mind.
So, Fischer(my dorm) has it set up where there are east and west floors. (South floors too...but they're irellevent) I'm on Fischer 2 East, our sister floor is 2 west. It is tradition that each semester, at least once, floors raid each other. (I may have talked about all this before...can't remember) Anyway, last semester we got off 1 raid, a toga/rome type thing. We'd had meetings and planned what to do...and nobody had actually done anything. So Nolan decidied to write a script for the raid and my roomate and I had joined in. We spent a fair bit of time on it, read: many hours (we worked on it from 11:00 pm to 5:00 am several times(Nolan has night watch)) and it turned out well. And now, here it is, nearly the end of second semester, the sister floor has done 2 loud raids, and 2 quiet raids. We are still at 1. We've had meetings, decided what needs to be done. In fact, we had some people say specifically what they were going to do, even had a "supervisor". We just got an E-mail from our RA that nothing whatsoever has been done on the raid. Nolan, my roomate and I haven't done anything, we figured we did way more than our share last time, and yet now, for the sake of the sister floor, we may have to do most of it again, because no one else will... sorry, just a little frustrated because it's not like our floor is losing out, it's the sister floor, and it's as if the guys here don't really care...
Anyway, wish us luck!
Heh, did you all hear about Daylight savings time? Aparently things didn't work out as well as the powers that be thought. So instead of going from 12 pm to 1 pm, it's going straight to 2pm...yeah, this should be fun...
I'm confuse about the daylight savings thing. As for your brother/sister dorm raids I'm sorry Tyler, I've never been in quite that same scenario, but I have the same sort of feelings toward group projects when not everyone is pulling their weight. (is that how you spell that, I have never figured that one out for sure...) As for the covers, the UK adult one is pretty obvious, and the UK children's one was surprising but whatever. The US one has me all worked up because I can't figure out what the heck they're doing! I'd go into all the details, but those who care have probably seen it. Suffice it to say it doesn't look like either are making an effort to murder the other on the spot, so... yeah, what the heck? Anyway, I'm off to breakfast.
yeah what's up witht eh daylight savings thing, nd who are the powers that be? and who get's to say what time it is, it should be whatever time we freaking want it to be!!!! Sorry about your raid- or lack therof, I know what's it's like to be the one who wants to pull something off and nobody else wants to.
April fools on the daylight savings...please tell me one of you changed your clock...
aha! now it makes sense, or rather it not making sense before makes sense now... for the record Tyler, I probably would have changed my clocks had I not been in break-induced haze (the kind that comes from planning on getting TONS of sleep but actually getting very little) and been confused beyond the intended amount. In any event, I salute you for the april fools day joke... there was not a lot of them to be seen (by me anyway) I tried one though I got so worried I called back and fessed up about five minutes after leaving the erroneous voicemail.
On another note, forgive me if I've already told you about this (I'll blame the aforementioned haze if I have) apparently Borders at Bridgeport will be handing out passes to their free HP7 release party starting at 4:00 pm July 20. The actual party doesn't start until 10:00 pm, and at 12:01 they will begin calling numbers according to the passes they gave out at 4:00. I'll probably be working at 4:00 so it'll be a trick getting a pass, whatever. Anyway Tyler, you'd better keep your word because if I'm stuck in Borders for two hours with a bunch of adolescent scar tattoo wearing children I may just... oh let's be honest I MAY just join in their childishness and begin dashing among the clearance racks wearing a cape and shouting spells.
Haha We can't tell our RAs about our "raids."
It snowed today...
qrwjyqgh
no joke, it keeps showing here too. Of course it's not sticking but I would like to see the freaking sun again before I die!!!
Haha...it was in the 70's today...bright and sunny gloriousness...
In sadder news, I watched "Eragon" last night. Yeah, I won't even GO there (except to say that apparently Galbatorix's army is comprised entirely of WWF wrestlers).
I followed it up with "Step Up". Hehe...
Back to Harry Potter...have any of you seen the online videos of the Harry Potter puppets? They're hilarious! Being as I am technologically challenged, I haven't posted a link....but they're great.
Bother bother bother bother bother
"I like it when he stops moving..."
yes, Eragon... I watched it on DVD over spring break and was once again baffled by the way a really bad adaptation can make a mediocre (at best) novel look like a literary masterpiece by comparison. Step Up, Laura as in Channing Tatum and dancing? Did you like it? (hehe is so ambiguous) I never watched it myself, but most everyone I know simply loved it. You remember Daniel Nibler, from watching Phantom of the Opera, yes? Even HE was like "dude (here he punched me in the shoulder for some biting remark I'd made) it's a GOOD movie."
The weather here was in the seventies as well (or anyway it felt like it, I never checked a thermometer) and I realized the days are getting so much longer because I dozed off and woke up at a quarter to eight and it was still pretty bright out. I triple checked my alarm clock against my phone, compute, and watch because I was convinced I'd accidentally set it forward an hour.
I haven't watched these sock puppets, where do you find them? I searched harry potter sock puppets on YouTube and it came up with a number of different productions through which I didn't have the gusto to search.
I know we've talked Disney to death around here, but has anyone seen the DVD of Beauty and the Beast? I hadn't watched the movie in years, and never on the DVD, so I watched it tonight and they've got this whole other musical number about the appliances all wanting to be human again. It was so good! I mean it wasn't as great as the songs they kept in, but it was still really funny, and there's this part in between verses where Belle is reading to the Beast and she's reading him Romeo and Juliet. I was weird to see a whole new part in a movie that I grew up with and know more or less backwards, but it was actually a grand scene.
Oh Laura, I went to Cold Stone in Medford with some friends the other day but, alas, it was not as exciting as seeing someone I know so I ordered nothing and instead took a quiz in Entertainment Weekly.
Not sock puppets, Harry Potter Puppet pals
Yes, the Channing Tatum "Step Up"...so good. I stayed up late by myself and watched it. It was predictable, but the dancing was GREAT.
I think I would have liked the added musical number in Beauty and the Beast if not for the rather lame Romeo and Juliet bit. And the animation was noticeably different. But, otherwise, it's still the best movie ever.
The animation WAS different, and the song didn't exactly rhyme. It was more like a song from a stage show than from a movie. Don't get get wrong I did like it but, yeah, like I said it caught me off guard being all "new" after sixteen years.
I watched those puppet pals things. I don't which part made me laugh harder, when Snape just all of the sudden killed Harry and Ron while they were bothering him, or when the three kids lured Voldemort under the Hogwarts sign and ambushed him with machine guns. Oh, and the one with the mysterious ticking was funny too.
DId you guys know there's a hidden scene in one of the puppet pals things? Trust me on this, when SNape is being Avadad by VOldy, if you go frame by frame, the green lazer things form a star. Click the star and there is a short hilarious little tidbit. No joke. Honestly.
I found it. Very, very funny!
Now the snow is sticking, and cold, and just not fun in general.
The when of why did flately state
oh no oh no it's quite too late,
The fish is out, the cat has gone,
the world will end before too long.
We would not wish to alarm at all.
for if, of course. the sky does fall,
A warning, it seems is what we need.
Take heed.
But as to why the fish did fly,
we can only guess,
for at the least the falling sky,
did make an awful mess.
And in the end this poem writ,
as I am not all here
No reasons why, 'cept for a bit,
no one wrote, oh dear.
So if we want this nonsense gone,
your help, it seems, I need.
Write, talk, do something long!
Or, of course, take heed.
A poem written impromptu by one of the college freshmen who felt that something new was needed, anything new was needed. So please, to help this freshman keep their sanity, TALK. Don't make the same 2-3 people do 80% of the communicating. We want to know who EVERYONE is, not just a few. And I need more sleep, but that's obvious.
Good Lord.
Somebody had WAY too much time on their hands.
So, my mind is like a blank slate. Did we have a Christmas party this year? If we didn't that's a shame. We should do one this year.
Oh, and to Annonymous. If you're not on facebook you should join. THAT'S where it all happens.

Facebook, void of worth.
Firends? Groups? Petty attempts all,
to replace what's real.
And yet, there I am,
a part of those I insult,
but, but, but, but, but
Does being there stop
one from also speaking here?
Facebook divides us.
Here we speak to all,
there we speak but to a few,
pokes, messages, friends
why make it a war?
why compare those two which are,
apple and orange?
Forshame, oh Phillip
your lack of care for your friends,
for you I weep tears.
So again I plea,
chat here for all to listen,
stop your seclusion.
It's funny how our annonymous friend ignores the current convo, and my question, to continue complaining.
I'll stick to facebook.
Ho ho my friend, thou makest a claim
I feel I must refute.
I do indeed reply to thy point,
Facebook is indeed moot.
I have a face upon that book,
and friends I also have.
More from there than here, it seems,
And that's what makes it sad.
For this is a place for alumni,
to come back and speak as friends,
without the others unknown to all,
so please, make amends.
My point is thus, this page is for,
the eleven who were a class.
Facebook is nice, but this blog id ours
to be just us, so alas,
So please my firend, do not make claims,
against me and my poor rhymes,
Facebook is not, the be all end all,
leave a note here, from time to time.
Huh, don't check in for a while and a...well, poet, I guess, takes over. This is a job for....not me, I need sleep, we just raided and it turned out nice. I was a charmander...yeah.
please tell me it was a Pokemon themed raid because that sounds like seriously a cool thing! If not, why were you a charmander? you didn't burn anything I hope? Or if you did I hope there was a squirtle nearby, or better a wartortle, or a blastoise. I had a blastoise once, it was my pride and joy! Anyway, all this poeming and verbal sparring... very interesting to say the least. I daresay it solves the very problem it addresses.
It was tv show themed. There should be pictures up on facebook eventually...
That poet sucks!
being anonymous doesn't mean you can be a jerk. while maybe you don't agree with that poet, at least he/she cared enough about what they had to say to give the delivery some thought. furthermore all they wanted was for people to interact and certainly there's nothing wrong with that.
on the original post topic of weather, it's alternately gray and rainy or sunny. It keeps flip flopping between how it's been for the last few months, and how it's going to be once spring/summer finally takes over.
Oh, and we're still waiting for those Charmander pictures Tyler...
Don't blame me, I didn't take any. All the photos are on the sister floor, I want to see them as much as you do.
andpirde
annonymous sucks...
Did you all hear about the Virginia Tech shooting? I think that place could use some prayer right now...
You're very right Tyler...it sounds aweful...some 33 people dead and the entire campus on lockdown....
My R.A. is from Virginia and he's got friends at V.T., I don't think he knew any of the victims though. In my classes today the teachers all started off by offering us the opportunity to ask questions about the security here at school. They say it's the worst shooting in modern U.S. history.
On a much more trivial note, it was cold all day and then we had snow.
