"Wobbly bits"

After rewatching Bridget Jones's Diary and Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason, it really makes me want to strive to find someone who can appreciate me for who I am, as well as someone that I feel the same way for--someone who would even love all of my "wobbly bits." The character of Mark Darcy that Colin Firth portrays in these movies is definitely more aloof than my ideal guy, but his love for Bridget despite what she sees as her flaws is most endearing, and something that I hope to have in my own relationship, whenever that may be.

It also makes me realize that I need to get back to England asap, whether to visit and sightsee on a vacation, or for a more permanent arrangement. I miss the culture, the sights, the lifestyle.

Harry Potter and OotP movie

My brother so awesomely treated me to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix yesterday, and I wasn't disappointed in the movie. It's made me even more anxious to get my hands on DH when it comes out this weekend, so I can finish the series and know what happens to everyone. I highly recommend OotP if you're into Harry Potter, or even if you're not, it's an exciting and wonderful movie. But it helps if you've read the books or seen the other movies...

I loved the casting of Luna and Professor Umbridge in this; my brother and I agreed that they were how we imagined the characters to be from the book's description. And the scene in the Ministry of Magic at the end has you sitting on the edge of your seat wondering how it will play out.

So go see it already! :-D

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" music

The new song of the moment is the music from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which the website offered a cool little player that I could put in my blog. The picture kept getting cut off, no matter how I tried to edit it, so I put it at the bottom of the page (temporarily) so the whole player can be seen. I hope you like it!

I haven't been able to find another song of the moment yet, but this is something new and exciting, if you're into country music and like the Rascal Flatts. (Which I do, sorry for those who don't like country, I was raised on it.) This is their new single, "Take Me There," which is off of their new album Still Feels Good that is being released on September 25th. I'm hoping to get to see them in concert when they come to Raleigh in August. **crosses fingers**

So I've been reading up on the urban legends and rumors about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, and it has raised my excitement and anticipation for this book to a fever pitch...I can't wait for it to come out at the end of this month! The 5th movie comes out in a few more days, and all the previews I've seen for it promise that it will be an AWESOME movie. :-D It makes me feel like a little kid all over again!
