Today's Mighty Oak

We can, and quite frequently do, resist the urge to stab fictional characters.



Update for everyone, I hope you enjoy:

As I was going through Regent Square the other day, I spotted a car with the license plate "Voldemort."  Of course, it was abbreviated so it would fit so it was more like "Voldmrt," but still cool nonetheless.  I may have seen it in Regent Square before, but I wanted to make mention of it.

Speaking of Harry Potter, an awful, despicable blog that I sometimes read (just to get my daily dose of stupid), posted a list of spoilers over the summer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  Now, the sad part was, he posted them after the entire book was already scanned and available online, so the fact that about 75% of his "spoilers" were wrong was just lazy.  Also, you have to understand, he didn’t post spoilers to infuriate readers or get attention, he wanted to spoil the book so as to make people understand how evil and satanic the Harry Potter books are, thereby brining them into his crazy world.  Needless to say, it didn’t work, it was just pitiful, but my favorite (the one I laughed the most at) was repeated twice: Granger kills Hermionie.  Hermionie’s last name is Granger, they are the same character…oh sigh.

And for those of you who haven’t read the book yet, I can safely say she doesn’t kill herself…or maybe she does….or does she?…maybe she doesn’t?…maybe she does!  You’ll have to read to find out!

The CW (I believe) has a new show coming out about a vampire, a good one, living in L.A.  The great thing is that the promo for it, talks about how only L.A. could be the city that holds a good vampire.  I don’t know if that was done intentionally, because L.A. is where the show "Angel" was set.  Now granted, we first saw Angel for three seasons in Sunnydale, but that’s beside the point.

The other night I had trouble falling asleep, so I turned on a rerun of the presidential debates that was MSNBC.  It worked…because it’s the same things every time and with every question.  I did learn a few things, but overall, found it to be drivel.  It’s so much faster to get the information elsewhere where people are actually confined to their limits: A writer has a certain number of words, instead of the politicians going way over the 30 second response time.  If I was directing/producing one of the debates, there would be a giant red counter, like a basketball shot clock, and once it reached zero, the microphone would be turned off and the next question would be asked.

I think that’s it for now, I’ll leave you with the video to Matchbox 20’s new song "How far we’ve come."  Their new CD comes out Tuesday and I’m very excited, so make sure to check it out.  There are new photo galleries and new book reviews posted to my site, so check them out if you are so inclined!  Have a great one!
