Sorry this took so long, everyone.

Album 1

Album 2

My ticket to Hogwarts

Oh, man, y’all. There’s a Greek girl playing Katie in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. What are the odds, I ask you?!

And the girl they cast as Pansy Parkinson is pretty. Her name is Scarlett Byrne. I’m jealous.

Movie quotes - Round 1

Stolen from Erika, as usual. And this was so fun, I might do more than one round if you guys (being the 2 people who ever read my blog) enjoy it.

A. Pick 15 movies you know/like/love.
B. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
C. Post them here for everyone to guess.
D. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
E. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

1) “Nothing? Nothing? NOTHING? Nothing, tra la la?”

2) “I say… that what you say… is what I say.”
Patty: “Newsies”

3) “I think not. You gandered at my ward, Johanna. You gandered at her. YES, sir, you gandered!”
Erika: “Sweeney Todd”

4) “I once fought two days with an arrow through my testicle.”

5) “You know, for kids!”
John Craig: “The Hudsucker Proxy”

6) “I was not hit by a train. Dammit, I am the paterfamilias!”
Luke: “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”

7) “See? Right here. You may be young in years but the heart that beats beneath your bosom is as shriveled as an old maid’s, your soul as dry as the pages of the books to which you so desperately cleave.”
Erika: “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”

8) “At last, we can retire and give up this life of crime.”
Erika: “Serenity”

9) “Now what the Good Master is telling us all right now is that up in Heaven, there are about a hundred million little tiny angels about ‘yea’ by ‘yea’, and they all take shorthand. And every time you do something silly, they write it in a…”

10) “What! You want to look like you just came back from catching a fish? This ain’t “Dances With Salmon” you know!”

11) “You see, in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.”

12) “You’re right, I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars *next* year. You know, Mr. Thatcher, at the rate of a million dollars a year, I’ll have to close this place in… 60 years.”

13) “Can you count, suckers? I say, the future is ours… if you can count!”

14) “Shall I describe it to you? Or would you like me to find you a box?”
Luke: “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers”

15) “Did you hear that, my pet? All these years, they’ve been looking for a baby.
Jessica: “Sleeping Beauty”

Episode VII: The Candidates Strike Back

Here’s one for all my nerd friends. I didn’t write this, I just found it, but seriously, it’s pretty hysterical:

Star Wars Guide to the Candidates

Hydrophobia

Tim and Kim and Jeff and Elliott and Mike and Josh and Abner and I have made a movie! I need you to watch it and rate it! If you rate it as excellent, I might win a brand new MacBook Pro and a whole bunch of video editing software! If I win a brand new MacBook Pro, my great, awesome, muscular little brother will get my iBook as a thank you for working on the film.

YOU MUST VOTE BY NOVEMBER 9TH!!!

I have included a step-by-step process on how to log in to the contest website.

Please keep in mind that this site is still semi-broken, the steps are very repetitive, and you will probably run into errors. Please be persistent!!!

Hopefully, Apple will work on this problem and get the site to run more smoothly, but until then, you have to go through this ridiculous process to do it.

But do it anyway! Because you love me and want me to get a new MacBook Pro. And because my great, awesome, muscular little brother will beat your eyes repeatedly about the head and shoulders (the head and shoulders of your eyes, that is).

YOU MUST VOTE BY NOVEMBER 9TH!!!
