zee Deathly Hallows.

Yes, I am still awake.

I'm all psyched for the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Have a copy on hold. I have refused to look at any spoiler websites, and anyone who tries to tell me spoilers, I plug my ears and go, "La la la..."

I will probably read the entire damn book in one sitting...that's how nuts I am. I'll let you know how it is...

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: review



I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. I was a fan of the movies before I read the books, but since I read the books, I appreciated those as well.

The other four movies have not disappointed me, and I knew that this one would not. I saw OotP the day after it came out, and the two hours and eighteen minutes completely passed by. It followed the book very well, and I loved the performances from Imelda Staunton [Dolores Umbridge], and Michael Gambon [he got Dumbledore's personality from the book spot on]. Daniel Radcliffe [as Harry], does well, as always, but in this movie, you can see how much he's grown.

Five out of five stars, and I can't wait for it to come out to DVD.

Guitar Hero: the most addictive game on the planet.



Whenever I talk to a guy and I tell him I like to play PS2 games, this is the response I get: "Really?" As if this is some kind of an anomaly. C'mon, there's got to be other girls out there who like to play PS2 games, right?





Anywho, I guess I'm a self-professed gamer. I love the Metal Gear game series [have played and beaten them all]; the Godfather game rocked [loved the movie and decided to buy and play the game]. I have a soft spot for the Lego Star Wars games [so funny...I laughed my butt off while playing them]. And recently, I beat Indigo Prophecy, which is quite a good story game.





But the most fun game thus far has to be Guitar Hero. Or Guitar Hero II, actually.

I recently bought it in a package that has the controller and the game for 79.92, which is cheaper than going and buying it separately...just so you know. :) And I have to tell you, this game is like crack. Who needs drugs when you have Guitar Hero. *laughs* The only part of the game I have not yet beaten is Free Bird, by Lynard Skynard. Then I'm on to the hard level, with five keys! Woo hoo!

Already I've spent hours on this thing. It is so much fun. An expansion on the game is going to come out on July 24th, something about music from the 80s. I am so there.
