Three Words I Never Thought I'd Say

There are three words I was sure I would never say, but the beginning of the school year somehow coaxed these words from lips:

I. Need. Coffee.



Of course, in my mind I'm thinking:"Coffee is never the answer! You're already short enough as it is!"

I'm not sure where the words came from. I went to bed at a decent time the night before. I got a full 9 hours of sleep; more than enough for me.  And yet, I almost fell asleep on a lecture.


Anyway...

So last week was the first week of school, hence the lack of posting.   If I said that school is sucking my soul dry, I'd be lying.School is rad! It's more amazing than anything I could have possibly dreamt of. (And yes, I've been dreaming about school since February.) I love my professors and my peers and the nonexistent smells.

Billy is halfway functioning. It's really weird how I don't miss him at ALL.  It doesn't bother me that he's water damaged and will never be the same again. And I'm glad it doesn't bother me. Sometimes, I wonder if I'm too attached to my electronics...(Do not bring up the fact that I name them. I name everything! Remember Jimbob? Don't look at me like that!)

If you're wondering whether this post had any sort of point, it didn't. It was mediocre word vomit. I know you're accustomed to my almost-genius word vomit, but I hope you enjoyed this. I also hope you're not disappointed that I didn't post something awesome about how to go back to school in style...Instead, you got this luke-warm update about my boring life.

Don't worry, next post is about what NOT to do when you can't focus in class.  It'll be inexplicably rad. Pinky-promise.

A Very Potter Sequel (Fusion Friday)

For those of you not familiar with the wildly successful fan-created musical, A Very Potter Musical....now you are. (And really, where have you been?)  If you haven't seen it, this post may not make sense. Click here to watch it. It will take a good 3 hours out of your day...6 if you watch the sequel. Once you start, you can't stop. So, if you have something important to do, you should NOT start watching now.

WARNING: May contain spoilers. Probably won't, but I can't promise anything.

I'm not going to pretend I'm some die-hard starkidpotter fan. I'm not. I JUST watched A Very Potter Musical about a week ago and then I found out there was a sequel and peed my diaper *cough* I mean I watched it.

This is kind of a review...kind of an analysis...kind of a rant. You know me...

So, first off, I found it highly ironic that even though the sequel takes place a year before the original, it's loads more crude.

I liked the first one better. I'm more of a fan of situational humor rather than humor that makes a bunch of pop-culture references. Not to say that there wasn't plenty to laugh at in the sequel, but the first one was more suited to my taste. The sequel is more extreme--more outrageous.Sometimes it's a good thing, but most of the time it's not.

And just for the record, I like Joe Walker's Voldy TONS more than I like his Umbridge.  Joe Walker's performance as Voldemort really can't topped. Umbridge just kind of annoyed me.

The music was more mature (in a good way). Darren Criss' songwriting skills have really developed and it shows in his evolved lyrics and composition.  My favorite song? Hermione Can't Draw. It touched me on a deep, personal level. I also can't draw...not even if I'm reading a how-to-draw book.

Everything from the AVMP that made you go, "huh" is perfectly explained in AVPS. And it really brings everything full circle.

There was plenty to laugh at and plenty to cringe at. I wouldn't recommend this musical to anyone under the age of 13 due to strong language and mature themes.

There's really nothing more to say except...

Over 600 house elves die in toilet related incidents every year. 

Spread the word.  With your help the potty can be a better place for the elves.
