Ok, let me make a confession.... I've never really been into Harry Potter. My friends Ragsdale/Hess have been lifelong (ok,years long) fans, and while I have been supportive, I've never fully understood it. And then it happened...
Chad, ahem, sorry, MASTER Chad Hess loaded Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows onto my computer before I left. We have VERY long days here with no power, limited transportation, and boredom galore. So, after watching my 4 episodes of GLEE for the umpteenth time, I decided that H.P. and the Half Blood Prince was my best option.
OMG! FINALLY, the wit that I assumed was in the books but never came through in the movies, finally appeared to me in this film. I'm an idiot. WHY oh WHY did I not read the books??? Seriously, we're weeks away from the last movie and now I can't wait to enter the Potterverse! Again, I'm stupid. Someone teach me the secret handshake later...
So, my mission this week--- go to every used book stand in Arusha and get my hands on every H.P. book in the series. I still haven't seen Goblet of Fire or Order of the Phoenix... but seeing as it took 15 days to download ONE episode of Friday Night Lights, I don't think that I'll be hitting up iTunes anytime soon.. EXCEPT... I am about to move where I have internet in my room...hhhmmmnn...maybe iTunes it is! But that is one month away. Oh well, I'll think of something. Ok, so enough about my DELAYED love of Harry Potter (and by the way... Deathly Hollows Pt. 1 made me cry! Damn you Dobbey!).
The big news this week is that I accepted the job with safaris-r-us (a new company founded by the founder of the School of St. Jude and located on the campus of St. Jude) and will begin this week.
In even BIGGER news... I now have a gas "stove" for cooking. The 30 hour power outtage was not cute. But having soemthing to cook on--albeit on the porch-- is such a blessing. Yay. Sorry, left a picture of me working my magic at home. Will post it soon.
Laters,
