I just saw the official trailer for the new Harry Potter movie and am REALLY looking forward to seeing it.
I read my first Harry Potter book (Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone) on the way back from my grandpa's funeral in New Brunswick about this time last year. I picked it up at the Toronto airport because (1) I wanted something to read on the long flight back to Seattle and (2) in Canada they sell the book under the British title. Upon returning to Seattle, I discovered that my roommate had all of the hardcover editions, which I finished in about three weeks. The books are wonderfully fun, easy reads. I remember one morning verbally thanking God that I could live in a time with such entertaining and enjoyable stories available to people.
In other news, this week I discovered that an older American man I know over here, Gary, has been wanting to sell his 8 month old Nikon 5400 (5 megapixel digtal camera) along with quite a few accessories. He'd like to get something with more MPs so he can start selling some larger pictures. He's asking a bit more than I wanted to spend, but it's a much better camera than I've been looking at, too. It might be a good investment and a strong bundle. Today I'm planning on looking at a few other models downtown (the Canon A75 and A80). I'll be going to Gary's house on Tuesday for a friend's birthday party and plan to talk with him some more then.
