Harry Potter
Wow, I've gone Harry Potter crazy tonight. I am going to start answering some comments now. Bec is my main person so most of the comments go to her. Survivor wrote a comment too.
Survivor - yes it is weird to write your whole life in a nutshell. It is not that weird and age does not matter. I wrote several notebooks full before I was 17. Also this is my life story the sanitized version. Like a Chinese waiter says to you when your order is slow, so you have a brother? Or you meet new coworkers and they say have you always lived in Ann Arbor?
I could expound apon any subject in minute detail. This is what a good writer does. I am not a good writer. I was trying to get Z to bed and was watching Harry Potter DVD 1 special features. I like to torture him with special features. Earlier in the day a Harry Potter related thought popped into my head. How is Hermione a witch and Harry a wizzard. I researched this in book 1 while I was tucking Z in. Then online. I read a few plot spoilers only a few. So a muggle is a non-witch. A muggle-born is a rare person whose parents are muggles and they are a witch, like Hermione. Only the good news is her parent are supportive of her new path in life.
Harry's parents are Lilly and she is muggle-born too. His dad is pure wizard. So Harry is half-blood. Unlike Jews where the descendancy is from the mother. I guess you could say she converted. Enough Harry Potter. This shows my point I can talk about one topic for a while. Also Tom gave me Harry Potter DVD 1 today and a book to read by Carl Hiasen. Coincidentally it is the same guy who wrote Strip Tease. I have to give the book back, the DVD is a gift. I bought DVD 2 because I saw video 1 on vacation in Florida. But I got to see the special features tonight most of them. And they had a Hebrew section. Very good. It says Evrit in Hebrew letters. There is the scene where Hagrid, Hermione, Ron and Harry are talking in the field. Hermione says Cane or Low. Everthing else in the 3 minute scence was above my knowledge. Actual actors speaking actual Hebrew. My writing is not good I swear it, I use I too much.
Last night I studied Hebrew pa'al again. Also read 2 1/2 sevenths of Balak. Great Parsha. The prayer Ma Tovoo is based on this parsha. Bec I have two copies of the Stone Edition. Every Conservative Jew gets one at their Bar/Bat Mitzvah. I have S's copy mine is still in the Library in VA of my parents house somewhere. Forgot my planner today. Forgot my watch too. Reading from my planner from memory. Trying to write less in there, its getting to be like a blog.
S is watching TV and I am supposed to be doing school work. Its been twenty minutes and I have hit the highlights. Also I am half a sip away from finished with my Blue Moon. This is gonna be a great six pack. I had the first one last night.

awesome.
i'm supposed to start learning balak next week with my chavrusa so i should probably review it tonight. also using the stone edition. two copies! crazy.
also we'll be learning pirkei avos (ethics of our fathers--you can find it in the artscroll siddur, i don't know where else, unless you have a separate book.)
i was digging the harry potter books a few years ago, but i quit after three, i just didn't have the oomph to continue, i think i just couldn't handle the suspension of disbelief after a while. but jk rowling is definitely an excellent storyweaver.
