Day 8 Happy: Harry Potter!
Harry Potter is like comfort food for the soul.
Today, my boss ever so graciously let me skip my morning shift at work, making it so that I worked five and a half hours instead of ten and a half. I slept all night, and then until 1:30 in the afternoon before I had to get up and get ready to go in.
Even after all that sleep, I still didn't feel quite up to par after work. When I came home, I still felt the urge to lay around and get better. So I put in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I have seen the Harry Potter movies countless times each and they never get old. I can quote almost every line, have read the books several times each, and even have part of the fifth book on CD (thanks to my wonderful sister who burned it for me before I started a solo trip from Georgia back home to St. Pete).
It's a comfort thing.
Needless to say, ("needless to say" is one of those naughty phrases my journalism teachers always tell us not to use. "If it is needless to say, you don't HAVE to say it." Whatever, I like saying it, so I will.) I am ridiculously excited about the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando. The park opens June 18th, but I'm not a crazy person, so I won't be going then. A) It is going to be ridiculously hot, and B) All the wackos from the entire world who are more into Harry Potter than me are going to be there. I am going to wait until October or so to visit. Plus, this will give me more time to save up the crazy amount of money I am going to feel the urge to spend on Harry Potter memorabilia.
You know, I kinda like this blog and how I can just ramble on and on about things I like. It's fun.
