Oh My Gosh! HP6

A PIC OF DUMBLEDORE!!!
I just saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince the other day. It is really, really good! I just loved it! To warn you, if you've read the book, don't think about the book version of the story. It's really nothing like it, but still a great movie! You have (have, have, have) to see it! I know you'll like it! It's in the movie theater now!

Thanks to KJ: A Quick Little Problem

This is really worth doing and it's a quick little problem if you follow the instructions.
1. Grab a calculator---not an adding machine (you won't be able to do this in your head)
2. key in the first three digits of your phone number (not the area code)
3. multiply by 80
4. add 1
5. multiply by 250
6. add the last 4 digits of your phone number
7. add the last 4 digits of your phone number again
8. subtract 250
9. divide number by 2

Do you recognize the answer?

Just Movie Talk!



What are your favorite movies? I have many favorites. Pixar makes some very nice animated movies with funny aspects. Wall-E was really good, but not good to see on a regular TV. Everything is so over-the-top bright and there isn't much talking, so it makes you need to focus on the visual aspects of the movie. I'm going to see Harry Potter 6 tommorrow. It's supposed to be really good. All the Harry Potters are on my list of fave movies. How they're going to pull off not rating the seventh R, I don't know. Even the fact that the 6th was PG. Wow! Speaking of Harry Potter this is how I rank them and why.
1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone-
This movie doesn't have the most astounding special effects, but it has Daniel Radcliffe when he was young and cute, and follows the book almost perfectly.
2. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix-
Amazing special effects and Sirius dies, making this one of the best in the Harry Potter movies.
3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban-
Special effects are really good accompanied by Sirius coming back and if I remember correctly Trelawney's prophecy in front of Harry. (creepy)
4. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets-
The best thing about this movie is that the actors are good actors and the how cocky Lockhart is. You also start to see a connection between Ron and Hermione in this movie.
5. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire-
They cut so much out of this movie! The best part is in the Graveyard.

School Shopping!

School days are almost back again and it's time to do your school shopping. I've already done mine so I can tell you what you need. For someone going into middle school, you need a really good backpack. Bigger than the one you had last year and a stronger one too. You also need a binder with files for all your subjects and other things that you keep in handy. It would be inviteable to have a seperate homework folder too. You need to stay organized this year! Go to your school website to get your supply lists. Even if it says 'optional' next to a supply, get it. You need to be on the top of your game! Hope you enjoy school shopping!
