A few awesome things to make up for my long absence.

So sorry I've been so bad about updating the blog this summer. I promise I will try to do better!! To make amends for my long absence, here is an awesome new video by John Green about, among other things, why it's awesome to be a nerd.



Also, this awesome website: Superhero Factory! You get to create your own Superhero, and they give you a great name. I can't mine but it was awesome, as you would expect.

Saw the Harry Potter, and though some of you I've talked to have been down on it for not being straight from the book, I will stand by it and say it's probably my favorite of the films so far. But bear in my mind it's been a while since I've watched the others. :) What did you think? I'm making some polls in the sidebar so let me know there and/or in the comments! To celebrate the movie release we threw a party here at the library. We ate lots, attended some Hogwarts classes, and won some prizes. Here are a few pictures from the event:

Okay, that's all for now, see you in the stacks!

DFTBA,
Sti

When Harry overhears that his parents’ best friend betrayed them to Voldemort and was so angry he wanted to kill Sirius Black I cried, a lot. Besides that I thought the whole Time Turner device was really nifty on J.K.'s part (yeah, we're close, I can call her that*). I loved Lupin and the fact that chocolate is the remedy for when you've had all your worst memories brought to mind by Dementors.I also always love Scabbers so I was really sad when he turned out to be the betrayer of Lily and James Potter. Sigh. When I re-read it: January 2011 What my thoughts are now: This book is so great, I can see why it's a lot of people's favorite of the series. I mean, c'mon t...

Duct Tape Pencil Bag

Unwrap other color of duct tape and tape the opposite side of the bag. 4. Trim extra duct tape off. 5. Continue adding duct tape (You can do all one color on each side or alternate like I did. Trim sides so everything is even.  6. Optional, if you want to store your pencil bag in your binder, mark where the rings are located. 6. Use a hole punch to make holes. 7. Decorate with stickers or permanent markers!
