Harry Potter Cover Art

What is your favorite cover art for the Harry Potter books? I have to say my vote is definitely the states. Although I think the Icelandic Harry looks chock full of attitude. I think the French versions look like they were drawn by children, maybe that's the point. I think that the British and Danish are way toooo generic.

You have probably seen all of these...

but they are still ridiculous and hilarious, especially The Shining recut. Some of them don't work as well as others, The Lion King has too much thunder effect, but they are still fun regardless.

Just rewatched

The Matrix, I really enjoy that movie. The pbf doesn't seem to like it as much as I do. I never finished the series because after seeing the second installment I realized that perhaps the trilogy just sucked. Thoughts?

In 1975 the Catholic bishops of Appalachia wrote...

"...hopefully the Church
might once again
be known as
-a center of the Spirit
-a place where poetry dares to speak,
-where the song reigns unchallenged,
-where art flourishes
-where nature is welcome
-where little people and little needs come first,
-where justice speaks loudly,
-where in a wilderness of idolatrous destruction
the great voice of God still cries out for Life."

IT'S ON!!!

In this corner, representing all of Christianity we have child star Kirk Cameron and mustache preacher dude Ray Comfort.
And in this corner, representing the only other side of the coin, two random self-proclaimed Atheists.

Should be good! Have you ever seen Mike Seaver and Mustache Man scare and trick people into believing in God? Check out the videos on their website... they get 'em every time!

Okay, I'm being an ass, but come oooonnnnnn!!! I hate Kirk and Ray's style, and I'm supposed to be okay with the idea that they represent christianity? And the atheists from the Rational Response Squad also use methods that aren't the most respectful of other people. You might not know it from them but Athiests can be nice!

But then again, stereotypes and fights can be fun!

I will never have enough time to go through all of this, but you must check out the video/film section and the sound section. amazing stuff.

Find something there you like and post in in the comments.

Happy Wifest?

Update! well, maybe not "update" but new post.

Sanderson, I can't seem to post comments on your blog... haven't been the last few posts. But of course I was right! now when do I get to see the piercing in real life? You should totally have a cookout! I think May 12th is good for me, how 'bout you? Can I plan a party at your house? in your backyard and all.

New diorama

I'm wanting to make a new diorama. Is anyone else interested in doing one? A mini dio party perhaps. Also I would be very interested to hear some suggestions of what YOU would like to see me do a diorama of.

weather report

it's snowing... in april.

Alanis' humps

If you didn't know it, I'm in love with Alanis Morissette... always have been. I find her music to be very smart and she seems to know how to live life. One thing I've always liked is that she freely admits her love for studid comedy... Anybody see her in Dogma?! Well, I think this video will show how funny (and clever) she is. Take that top 40 radio!

Jesus Sells

I'm watching a documentary on PBS about sister Aimee. She created one of the first ever mega-churches in L.A. in 1921 when she built the Angelus Temple that would hold 5,000 people, and broadcast her sermons on the radio. She was penticostal and got involved in politics, and founded the Church of the Four Square Gospel. Then she mysteriously dissapeared in 1926, lost at sea. It's debated if she staged her own dissapearence or was kidnapped, but she did return to L.A. after walking out of the desert of Mexico, and became the focus of a mediated trial.

all grown up

This is what I want to do when I grow up.

Chris Ware action

Now here we go!

I got the new Modest Mouse album with the last of my itunes gift card... If you liked Good News... then you'll like We Were Dead... The song Dashboard came on and I thought, this is so familiar, and then I remembered this Good stuff.
McMüller introduced me to the wonders of Bierkraft and treated me to a generous evening.
Lately I've been pondering what I want to do when I grow up... it's almost depressing.

Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

My hair is fixed! Thank you Rudy!

The first cut is the crappiest

I just got a really crap haircut. I've never really had one before so I guess it was time. I'm going to a new place tomorrow to get it fixed. When I was first dating thisisntjimmy, his friend, who I love to this day, gave him a literal bowl cut. It was heinous!! I was pissed at all invloved, but I got over it. Perhaps thisisntjimmy will be pissed at all involved or maybe he's not trite and small minded like his (ill coiffed) wife.

Finally

I'm on partial break this week so I'm enjoying myself! Now would be a great time to call me and get some good phone chats in.

down the drain

I washed my cell phone... I took it apart to dry it out, but that doesn't seem to be helping. Of course I don't have phone numbers written down anywhere and of course sprint doesn't use the card thingies that you can move from phone to phone. Send me an email with your contact info! I'm going to build a database in my computer's address book so the next phone I wash won't mean such a big problem.

thisisntwife

I'm blogging under the wife's account because i just updated her account to the new google user so that she will finally start blogging again.

also, the new teenage mutant ninja turtles movie looks bad... and why is it called TMNT? remember when new kids on the block tried to make a comeback and they called them NKOTB?
