Football and Harry - two things that inspire fanaticism in many

To each their own, I guess.

Nick Saban, the football coach at the University of Alabama, has a television show, which I have somehow been blissfully unaware of hitherto. My roommate is watching it now. Cleverly titled "The Nick Saban Show", it seems to consist entirely of Nick Saban standing on a football field talking loudly about Alabama football ( Read more... )

There's a lot about football I don't understand, which is astonishing considering how much I'm exposed to it.
And, yeah, they are. One man's trash is another man's treasure and all that. I have to remind myself of this a lot. Especially when the Alabama or Auburn game is broadcast over the intercom system at the movie theater I came to to avoid watching the game at my house.

Fandoms and their creativity never fail to amaze me.

I read Harry, a History over the week and loved it too. One thing that kept happening was that she'd mention updating the site and I would think, "OH HEY, I totally read that post!!!!" XD

(I actually was not aware of how popular Harry/Hermione was before GoF. But of course that book came out right after I started the series, so it figures. Explains another level of the ship wars to me in any case)

I'm in the mood to reread Deathly Hallows now...

Me too! It was so weird and cool.

I knew it was really intense between the Harmone and R/H people, but I wasn't a huge part of it either. I came onto the online scene toward the end of the worst of it. Well, until Emerson called them "delusional" and it started all over again. Haha. I remember that. Uh, craziness.

I thought Harry:A History was going to be released today! On the 4th! What DID I miss?

It's officially out today, but amazon started shipping it about a week and a half ago.

It wasn't embargoed like Harry Potter or Twilight are, with regular books bookstores started selling them whenever they come in, which for Harry, A History was around November 4.
