Eleven More Sleeps...

oh yes! the holiday is getting nearer and nearer-er. I can almost feel the sand between my toes, the cool beer going down my throat as I laze in the sea-side pool. It's going to be out of this world!!!

also, I do hope we meet these people :-)

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Ending.

After doing a Google search it's clear that many, many people are obsessed with the ending of the 7th and last book in the Harry Potter series. People are camping outside bookstores, various musings online state "I know the ending" "I know that Harry dies", "I Know that Harry gets Married" etc.

The security is so tight I find it hard to believe the ending has been leaked. security systems have been placed in every crate in the States and I'm sure employees of Barnes and Noble etc are tempted beyond belief to reveal the ending... but nothing they say will be beleived.

The big question is: when these thousands of people get there books at midnight saturday (US time) how long will it take for the ending to come out?
Would you turn to the back and read the last page and ruin the book? or find a secluded spot, avoiding TV, internet, radio, and cave drawings, and studiously read from the beginning to the end??

Personally, i've never read any of the books, so i guess i'll assuage my curiosity by checking the net sometime about 10 minutes past midnight to see the first answers being posted :-)

enjoy the book, those of you who will read it, and i guess i'm just happy to see that novels won't die off anytime soon thanks to these books.

The 79 Best Pictures Project....

Eitan and Shira are two people I admire.
I've never met them, and I likely won't, but through the wonders of the internet, I ran into them and their blog.

Eitan and Shira are both college students at the University of Maryland, and are undertaking the labourious, yet rewarding task of watching every one of the 79 films that have won the Best Picture Oscar at the Academy awards, starting with this gem from 1927

and working their way through to the most recent:


Such a great idea, and something a) I wish I'd thought of and b) had the time to do.

I'm gonna keep checking in to see how they're going and you can too here:

Team New Zealand lose the America's Cup 5-2 to Alinghi.

This great cartoon sums up my feelings: we need to admit that it's a rich man's game and let the rich men finance it, not the nation!
