Harry Potter and All of the Books

With 244 views and five minutes of unbelievably awesome humour, this is a vid. you don't want to miss.

Rain

Let the rain fall down! No, not like that stupid song. If I posted about that I would probably be on every other blogger's list of assasination targets within a week. What I'm actually here to say is that for the second time in a week it rained. I never thought I would appreciate rain so much.

When in a place one tends to take his surroundings for granted; this quickly changes when in a new place. I never thought I would miss some things that I do now about good old NH. Not the house, not the country, and certainly not the politics. What I miss most about the West is the trees, the cool

temperature and the rain.

One can never tell what or when he will experience a particular emotion. Maybe it won't last, but for that last rainy day I really did miss New Hampshire.

Postponed

Due to an unforseen occurrence which I simply can not explain, my English and Irish week of posts will not be shown for some considerable time. No! This has nothing to do with me being extremely lazy. And of course I care about making posts that are original, entertaining and completely out of the blue.
The problem is time. So please forgive me if I tread into somewhat shallower waters for a while.

English/Irish Literature and Film: A week of tribute

There really is so much to say on this subject, and conveniently little else to say. I was at a loss in terms of posting. You could call it the blogger doldrums. I read the Gulf News and Khaleej Times every day, and watch a little CNN MSNBC and Fox, so I consider myself reasonably well informed. The problem, it seems, is that lately there are few things in the news that are new. Yes, of course people become hyped up about elections and wars and so forth, but these things have have been talked about enough lately. So, I said to myself, why not try something interesting to you?
All right, so this is kind of abstract. Way out of left field, old sport. Nevertheless, I am sure that English and Irish literature is a great subject. It could be posted about for several months; I will only take a week. And trust me: By the end of the week you'll be at driving to an airport near you in search of tickets to the UK or Ireland.

My Amazing Schedule

Well, my class schedule reads like this, with A days in red and B days in blue:

IB English HL
Basic Theatre Production
Arabic 1
Advanced Algebra 2
IB Chemistry SL
IB Geography SL
Directed Studies
Philosophy

Drama is quite fun; we finished off our monologues, in which I portrayed the famous Jack Sparrow during his speech to Will Turner.



Next I was part of the group effort Woman in Mind. That was not as much fun; perhaps because I portrayed a paranoid, self obsessed and profoundly boring man named Gerald. My wife was a pshycopathic character, convinced that she had a nonexistent daughter and perfect life ever since she hit her head with a rake.
Currently I am practicing for a scene from The Lion in Winter. I was cast as Geoffrey, the middle son whose more famous siblings are Richard the Lionheart and Prince John. Unfortunately my teacher said I can't do an English accent, because the brothers actually spent most of their time in France. Oh well... hopefully it will live up to my Jonny Depp impersonation.

Slicker than Before

I am proud to say that Joe's Place has recently undergone some plastic surgery and is now even slicker than before. The links list has just begun, and will soon be expanded to include the slickest sites on the internet. Also, comments will now appear as "accomplices."
Enjoy the slickness, and visit the page often!
