Sucking Up

Sigh, one of the many things uni does not prepare us for is living in a the-client-is-always-right-world.

Today I experienced a I-wanna-shove-a-stick-as-wide-as-the-world-up-his/her-ass-client.

Ah well.. just have to suck it up. 🙁

Oh yes, forgot to add that I also had an AHA! moment when I realised Marnie from True Blood was Aunt Petunia from Harry Potter! At last understanding why I kept thinking Fiona Shaw looked so freaking familiar. Love how she has switched from anti-witch/wizard to witch.

More Pottermore Please!

Like any self-professed nerd would, I signed up for Pottermore with the very first of them.

After what felt like ages to a Harry Potter nut like me, I got my Welcome Email yesterday. I’ve spent 3 hours on the website already and whilst there is room for improvement (it is just in its BETA version after all), I’m so not even 0.001% done with my visit to the website.

Since one of my major fantasies/goals-in-life is to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Pottter in Orlando Florida and buy myself a wand, it is of course no surprise that my favourite thing about the website so far was the trip to Ollivanders – answer 7 questions and get your own wand. 

My wand is made of sycamore wood, has a phoenix feather core, 10 inches and is slightly springy.
Of course, the major attraction to Pottermore in the first place was the fact that the amazing Ms. JK Rowling is giving us lots of background on the stories.

The information she has provided on just the type of wand woods alone is freaking awesome. To think that she  could have chosen to make even more money by publishing a book “written” by Ollivander, just makes me worship her more.

As I’m a lawyer and am therefore terrified of being sued for the hassle it will most certainly entail, I’m not gonna cut and paste the information she has placed on her website regarding wand woods or cores. I just love it that sycamore wood wands combust if allowed to become “bored”, which is so me. 

The day that I spontaneously combust in my office is surely on its way.

Harry Pottering

Hahaha.. I’m reading Harry Potter 1 to 7 all over again. After reading and thoroughly enjoying book 7, I just had to go back and spot clues in the first 6 books.

Anyone who stumbles on my blog need not worry about any spoilers though.

I’m a devout believer in not spoiling books/movies by giving away the plot.

This is due to an incident in Form 4 when my friend asked me if I had watched Sixth Sense and upon me saying no, promptly told me that you’ll never believe Bruce Willis was a *****!

^&*#$%)$*#$@

Anyway, really love JK Rowling. I know I should be reading books not aimed at pre-teens but seriously facing a book drought at the moment.

No library here to borrow silly books from, and I’m not a fan of buying crappy books for RM30.
