I am addicted to the theme from Six Feet Under. I’ve never seen the show, cause I don’t get HBO, but my brother got the show’s soundtrack for his birthday on the 20th (He’s 27, aaaahhhH!), and he gave me a copy of the theme. It’s just strange sounding, but I like it. I think it’s just cause I like the oboe. Maybe I should learn to play the oboe, since I think it’s my favorite sounding instrument. I’d rather play the piano, since I’ve actually done that before so I wouldn’t have to deal with being bad at playing something. 🙂 Tee hee. I don’t think I’d play the oboe too well. I couldn’t handle the reed on the clarinet, how could I handle two of those stupid things? Honestly, though, I might be able to handle it. The last time I tried to play the clarinet I was nine years old and didn’t quite understand what a reed is. My dad’s got a clarinet, maybe I should go try it again.

How was that for a wandering paragraph?

I’ve got way too much email piled up. It’s up to 54 this time, and I just can’t bring myself to answer it. I look at it and my headache comes back. Sorry, peoples-who-emailed-me, you’re just going to have to wait.

I keep stopping while blogging to read through a list of “You know you’re obsessed with Harry Potter when…” and I thought I was doing pretty well until I came across these:

“When you’ve read all the books cover to cover, stopping only to eat.” – Guilty. I did that when each of the books came out, and several times thereafter whenever I read book three. (That’s my favorite.)


“When after you’ve read the books, you discover that the music you listened to while reading now reminds you of certain parts of the books.” – Guilty. Whenever I hear the Four Seasons by Vivaldi I think of Harry Potter. That used to be what I’d go to sleep by, and of course, I wouldn’t be going to sleep, I’d stay awake until four o’clock in the morning, reading. But, that’s not obsession, I don’t think. I do that with all of the books I really enjoy reading. With ‘Ender’s Game’ and ‘The Power of One’ it was Gabriel Faure’s nocturnes and requiem. With Hitch-Hiker’s Guide, it was the theme to the League of Gentlemen, only because I got that song stuck in my head forever.


“When you buy all your friends, who haven’t read any Harry Potter books, the first in hopes that they’ll be as obsessed as you.” – I’ll only plead guilty to that if it’s a misdemeanor because I’ve only done that to a few of my friends, and one of my ex-boyfriends.


“When you refuse to go see “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” on it’s opening weekend in fear that you might help it beat Harry Potter’s opening weekend.” – Completely innocent, but I did do the complete opposite. I wanted the Potter movie to bomb and see LotR climb to the top of ticket sales. Why? I’ve never read LotR, and in fact thing what I’ve read of ‘The Hobbit’ is relatively dull so far, but the movie was way better than Potter. Potter completely stunk, and if you want more details than that, go read my review.


“When the only thing you want for Christmas are plane tickets to England ” – Guilty, but for an entirely different reason. Harry Potter wasn’t filmed in Hadfield. 🙂

I still don’t think I’m obsessed. So I run a fan site, big whoop. I think I would have stopped ages ago if so many people didn’t enjoy it. It gives me something to do, and it’s good for the kiddies.

I’m starving. I think I’m going to go wait by the door for dinner to arrive.
