I hit the wall today and now I am officially sick of waiting for HBP. I don't want anymore previews, behind-the-scenes teasers, or interviews from David Heyman and Dan Radcliffe. I cannot wait for Tuesday night at midnight - enough already!!!!

So here are a few scenes from great movies to watch while we wait. Warning: Some of these are violent because I'm in that sort of mood. But still, these all remind me of Harry Potter.

I'm drifting and getting distracted now that it's summer and the kids are out of school, so I haven't posted anything new in a week or so.

My husband and I went to see Star Trek last weekend, and I loved it! What they've done with the new movie is really clever. Like many fan-fiction writers in HP and elsewhere, they threw out some of the existing canon and plotted a new course where no Star Trek movie has gone before.

At first I was scratching my head over it, wondering why they would give Kirk and Spock new backstories and throw in time-travel (which I usually hate). But then I realized that they are no longer tied down to events in the original series, the other series, the various movies, and the many novels, even those written with the consent of Paramount. This is "alternate universe" Star Trek and new things can happen - I like that!
