OMG Harry Potter's Out!
I finally saw the trailer for the new Harry Potter film. I’m one of those fans that have read almost all of the books. Time has not permitted me to start on the sixth one yet. My reaction was mixed. I can’t help but recall the third film’s many flaws. Prisoner of Azkaban seemed like one long series...

Ramblings
Inspiration is such a fickle thing. Sometimes it knocks you over with the speed of a bullet train. And at other times it rather cruelly refuses to come anywhere near you. Right now I’m in the latter situation. Nothing fabulously creative seems to spring to mind. School takes up most of my...

Thoughts About Latest Brit Lit Read
In my British Literature class today we finished reading Edmund Spencer's Fairie Queen. Spencer was a sixteenth century poet. The Fairie Queen has six books, each divided into twelve stanzas or cantos. Spencer uses this work as an allegory. All of the characters have a religious significance. What I...

Is it possible to miss someone after only nine hours of being apart?
Is it possible to love someone deeply enough to the point of feeling emotional pain when you're apart? It's a question I've been pondering for awhile. The thing is I wouldn't describe myself as "romantic." I usually detest overly gooey love stories. Chick flicks are something I do my best to avoid....

Today's post is going to be a bunch of random thoughts because I honestly can't think of anything else to write. Where should I start? Well, for starters the semesters winding itself up.

Want a Roommate? Get on the Net!
I recently discovered roommate advertising websites. www.roommates.com and www.roommate click.com seem to be the top websites. This will make my search for a roommate while I attend Eastern Michigan University much easier. Whew! That’s a load off my mind. I am always amazed at how much easier the...

Let States Deal with Natural Disasters
The governor of Texas is calling the extremely low level of casualities suffered from Rita "miraculous." There's nothing miraculous about it. Texas simply did a better job preparing. They had evidently given natural disasters some serious thought. Louisiana had sat on its hands despite numerous...

Why Don't People Get Me!
The other day a coworker of mine told me he thought I was a serious bookworm type. I’d just done a little cheer for myself because I was doing very well. He hadn’t realized I have a fun, crazy side. This guy is the humorous, boisterous type. I love working with him. The thing is he’s only seen me at...

Breastfeeding in Public in Michigan is Now Legal!
Today I was reading an article about the Michigan legislator passing a law that made breast-feeding in public legal. Apparently a woman had worked very hard to get this pushed through. My first reaction was stunned disbelief. Why is it that everything must be legislated? Why would anyone in his or...

Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
About a week ago I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I would definately recomend watching this movie twice since it can be a little confusing at first. I thought the main premise was very true and relevant. The main character has his memories of his ex girlfriend erased. The problem is...
