I had a dream...

My older sister had a baby and I was finally a legitimate [not that I would ever be called an illegitimate] aunt! It was a good dream and I woke up with a brief, happy memory of it. Brief. Less than one hour later the first sentence of this blog is the only morsel I retain. Efforts to recall more lead to nowhere and I'm pretty much resigned to the short piece that I have. Pretty much. Haha, does that bug?

I used to be a fanatic about taking notes. I made sure to download COLOR NOTE on my phone because it's awesome and helps me organize the epiphanies, funny episodes, lists, etc. of which I need to keep track. I have fallen out of this habit and the result is great ideas lost to the abyss of my forgetfulness. 

Exhibit "B"

On my way from Job 1 to Job 2, I thought of a great topic for today's blog but I didn't write it down and after racking my brain I still can't remember it. In the words of  Professor Dumbledore, "It does not do to dwell on dreams, but yet to live. Remember that." I'll take comfort in that statement and move on.

I love audiobooks and today I finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. This second attempt was way more enjoyable than my first and I'm actually excited to start the Chamber of Secrets. The narrator Jim Dale is amazing and he does a remarkable job with Hagrid's voice in particular. The one drawback is my feigned Kiwi accent is becoming more British after listening to him for over 8 hours. I would love to listen to a book read by a Kiwi!

Here are some quick photos from the movie. [I like pictures on the blog. Pinterest and media in general have wired me for visual stimulization.]

 I really like the contrast in size between Harry and Hagrid.

One of my favorite scenes:  Not Slytherin.
