Harry Potter Dreamland

(LUMOS)
Hey, friends!

Recently, I had the honor of going to the Harry Potter Exhibition at the Sciece Center with my dear friends, Morgan and Amy.





Amy.



Morgan.

(Note: When I took these pictures I told them to "act natural". I particularly like Amy's pose :] )

When you first walk into the exhibit you are greeted by someone holding the infamous Sorting Hat. If you're brave enough to volounteer, they'll "sort" you! Of course, I had to, and naturally I was placed in Hufflepuff! The best house of all!

Unfortunately, taking pictures inside the exhibit isn't allowed. But the things they had in there were just too cool! For example, they had the awful pink wool suit that Professor Umbridge wore in the fifth movie, and the whole set of her atrocious pink office! That had He-Who-Must-Not-be-Named's wand AND robes. (Yeah. Uh huh.) They also had Harry and Ron's Hogwarts dorm room set, (complete with outfits and robes that both of them wore) a scale model of Buckbeak and Aragog, AND VIKTOR KRUM'S ROBES. Mmhm.

The gift shop has everything you could imagine (except Ravenclaw gear, which poor Morgan found irritating). I got myself a dandy Hufflepuff scarf and some other loot.

If you EVER get the opportunity to go (up until February 13, 2011!), DO IT. It is so cool if you're a fan of the boy wizard. I'd reccomend it to anyone.

Thanks for reading, and see you soon!

(Insert Clever Title About Absence)

I'M BACK.

Yes, recently I took an inexcuasbly long break from blogging. I have returned with stories, news, and other things for your reading pleasure!

Let's start with the most exciting tidbit of information:
I have a Rebel. I'm in love.

15 megapixels of pure joy at 3.7 frames per second. Excuse me while I swoon.

Yes, friends. After months of saving up for this beast, I have obtained the camera of my dreams. It takes full HD video, along with the pretty pictures. It might just be the best thing I've ever purchased. Maybe. Yes, yes it is.

I mean, c'maaan...look at these pictures of Tasha. So crisp! So clear! So...*sighs* you get the picture. (tehe)



Anyway, thanks for sticking around despite my vaction. I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas/New Year/What have you.

See you soon! (I PROMISE.)
