Clothing, moving and Harry Potter...

Thanks for all the feedback on the ideas. The idea concerning the clothing adaptation line continues to blossom, and Jim, I think that Paula would be awesome at that kind of thing... she should definitely pursue it. Let me know if it gets any farther along...

Yesterday, I finally got my hands on the sixth, and most recent Harry Potter novel, the "Half blood prince"... and interesting title for what seemed to be a minor part of the plot. Anyway, I read it yesterday, and it was excellent. Definitely made up for the last two books that I didn't like all that much. Rowling is a fantastic writer, and creates some truly creative characters. I don't know anybody that has made a similar character that has carried the mistrust and mystery surrounding the character of Snape through several books. Usually, you make up your mind about a central character, as to whether they're good or bad, by the first or second book. But by the end of this last one, you're still guessing.

So all in all, good reading. This new library has a great selection of movies, and a decent music selection. Definitely some fringe material in the music department, which of course, I don't mind at all. I found an old Hokus Pick album that was what appears to be on first listen, AWEFUL! A Ryan Adams album from 2003 called "Rock N Roll" which appears to be quite good, and a "Jim classic" from my childhood called "Mansion builder" by the early christian rock group 2nd Chapter of Acts. Very cool. We got out two of Akira Kurosawa's movies that we hadn't seen yet, and watched Yojmbo last night. Funny, weird, and basically a Japanese spaghetti western. Good Friday night material.

I close my store tonight, so I'm off to work before long. We got an invitation to a game night at somebody's house last night, but declined to go. One of our friend Dan's friends from back home helped us with the move on this end, and his college and careers group from his church were the ones with the party. It's nice to have people who are kind enough to invite us, but we're still pretty tired, and enjoy the peace and quiet of home for now.

OH! My best friend Ryan is planning on buying the newest iPod of the bunch, the iPod Nano. This new iPod will be replacing the very successful iPod mini, has a color screen, is incredibly thin, and will most likely receive a storage boost before this time next year. It may end up being the most successful yet... it definitely has the potential.

Oh, well... I've run out of stuff to ramble on about...

Later.
