Harry Potter =D courtesy of http://www.tigrin.net/log/ this is too cute, i couldn't resist. have i mentioned what a sucker i am for harry potter? last summer when i bought the 4th book, the nite of its release -- johnny took me to b+n -- i stayed up til 5 a.m. reading. then of course i had to defend my taste to my extended family. snobs. not that i should talk; before i deigned to pick up the first one, i rolled my eyes at the phenomenon like every other wannabe-intellectual in this country. i'm trying to make up for it tho by being upfront about my conversion. i have seen the light and now, like every other born-again in this country, i am the phenomenon's biggest supporter and prostelytizer.

ADDITION: survey (courtesy of http://aim.uprush.com):
1. Open up your CD player, what's inside?: belle and sebastian's boy w/ the arab strap; i just took out revelling and before that revolver
2. Look in your VCR/DVD player, is there a movie?: bonnie and clyde and before that pi (and i just had a long conversation w/ my brother adam about requiem for a dream, also by aronofsky. he thought the film was equally well made and depressing. what's the point of stuff that just depresses you, he asked. i argued Appreciation and Aesthetic and other Abstracts. he argued entertainment. but if the film was on his mind, as clearly it was, and if it affected him, i believe it was worth watching.)
3. If there happens to be music playing right now, what is it?: belle and sebastian, dude. i just told you that.
4. What are you wearing?: jeans, black t-shirt. boring but somewhat typical, especially when there's no one around i have to impress.
5. Look down, what's the first thing that catches your eye?: my tarot cards. much reading recently.
6. Turn on your TV if it's not on already, what network is it?: i hate tv.
7. Look out the window, what's the weather like?: dark, oppressively hot. thank god we're getting out of here and going to the beach.
8. If you were to hit redial on your phone right now, where would it call?: ben. talked to alyssa since he's not there (dinner w/ justin? alyssa didn't know) she's going to japan -- brave girl.
9. Say "hello?" out loud, did anyone answer?: no. but i was too timid to say it too loudly; if i had, my little brother judah might have responded.
10. What are you planning on doing next as soon as you get offline?: mmm, sleep ...
