Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I went and saw this movie at the Drive-In in Henderson last week. 5 dollars for 2 movies. It was a lot of fun. Cheap food and drink. Ashley and I probably spent 20 dollars for two large popcorn, 2 drinks, and a candy. Anyway, on to the movie. I have read all of the books (twice) and I had higher hopes for this movie because I felt that the Harry Potter series was getting better with each movie. I thought this movie was pretty terrible. I was definitely disappointed. I know they can't put everything in the book in the movie but they even added scenes that made no sense at all. I still can't figure out why they did that.

The Harry Potter series has garnered only 6 nominations through the first 5 movies. "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (#2) and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (#5) did not receive any nominations. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (#4) was nominated for art direction (losing to "Memoirs of a Geisha"). "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (#3) was nominated for for music score (losing to "Finding Neverland") and visual effects (losing to "Spider-Man 2"). I don't expect this to break into any of the major categories either. I would not see it again and I'd give it a 1.5 out of 5.

Facebook Status #1

I'm beginning a new series of Facebook Status' that I feel show the hilarity of people.

This is actually a comment.

Friend 1- Lord I thank you 4 my new job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of her friend's comments-Wish icud say da same


As I read this I was wondering if the reason she didn't have a new job was because she only spelled 2 words correctly in a sentence that does not even make sense.

Holyfield's house forclosed

Evander Holyfield's house was foreclosed. As you look at this house, can you think of any reason that you need a house that has 109 rooms and 104 acres. Athletes are so stupid with their money.

One Week Down

I've officially trained for a week. I've ran for 6 of the last 8 days and lifted weights in 4 of those days. This is only a week but I'm pretty encouraged. I've found out that I really like morning runs/workouts. I'm officially now at my lowest weight since probably 7th or 8th grade and am really encouraged to keep going and keep breaking personal records. On Saturday, we are going to the beach and that will be tough because my grandparents have food and alcohol all over the house and its going to be tough to moderate. I have tried running on the beach before and it was a disaster but I think I will try again. I'm in much better shape that last time seeing that I've been running on and off for at least 1-2 months. Anyway, I'm hoping that when I read my blog in a week or 2 when I'm ready to quit the 5 day a week workout binge that I can become encouraged by posts like this and continue working out.

Training Details

I have added a new sidebar detailing my training for the OBX 1/2 marathon. Today was the 2nd day I've run in a row and was really tough. I trained hard yesterday with heavy weight lifting and a run. Today took awhile to loosen up my muscles.

It only says 1 day in the sidebar because I cleared my Garmin's history before I ran today.

Half Marathon #2

I think I've decided to run another half marathon this November. I'm going to start training earlier this time so my knees don't hurt for a week after the run. Right now I'm just going to be doing light runs 5 days a week and weight training 3 days a week. I think I want to do the OBX marathon November 8th because the course is pretty flat. 13.1 miles of fun here we go again! Anyone who wants to run it with me can. I'll definitely try and get my dad to do it again.
