I have mostly been eating shit for the last while. I don't feel very healthy right now.
I've been watching a lot of Harry Potter recently, I can't believe there were so many movies done and now its over, 10 years in the making. I still have yet to see the last one, I would really like to see it at the cinema so I think it's time for some strategic planning because I'm pretty sure Kaylene wants to see it too.
Without me realizing it I've kinda bonded with the Harry Potter characters. At first I found them a bit annoying and pretentious but the fact it lasted so long with so much detail and history before I knew it I'm sad its over. Daniel Radcliffe will be Harry no more. I heard on the radio that he cried like a baby when it ended, I'm not surprised I mean really he was 11 when it started. I have no idea what he is going to do now, or any of them. They are so famous for this epic movie success and only this, how does one follow or even lead a normal life. I think for me at the moment its my favourite movie franchise, its just so endearing. I've never read any of the books though, I don't think I can really call myself a fan without having read them. I don't think I'll be able to put the time in for a while either, I can see how people who have read the books can connect on another level.
I've found that happening a lot to me recently. True Blood is also something I hooked on right now and Dead Walking is another and both were born from literature before hitting the screen.
It's amazing how we can pull a figment of our imagination, put it out in the world, make it real and possess the power to draw real emotion from millions of people. Raw passion and emotion, love for figments that never lived but became real in our hearts.
I know a girl whose degree included a minor in Harry Potter.
