Fun Friday: X-Factor Snippet

For anyone who truly knows me - okay, even those that don't know me all that well *laughs* - it's not a big secret that I'm really into music. This, of course, includes any and all singing competitions like American Idol and The X-Factor. So, there I was...sitting on my bed, watching last night's two hour episode, rolling my eyes at all the cocky, self horn-tooting, wannabes...when this girl took the stage. Let me tell you, girl's got it going on. I had tears streaming down my face by the time the song ended and I wasn't the only one. But don't take my word for it...see for yourself. I promise you won't be disappointed. :D (p.s. You might wanna turn up the volume a bit *kicks crappy YouTube sound*)

Fun Friday: Harry Potter

For all of you who talk to me or follow me on Twitter, it's no surprise that I'm a complete and utter pile of fangirl mush when it comes to Harry Potter. The kick-off of the 8th and final installment of the movie franchise yesterday sent me into a complete frenzy and in turn, prompted me to not only peruse through the books for the umpteenth time, but to also re-watch part one of the Deathly Hallows (which I have on DVD and BluRay *SCORE*).

You'll probably even see a few Writing Wednesday posts in the future that touch on or are influenced by the frawesomesauceness that is J.K. Rowling and the unforgettable world that she's built.

I was literally in tears yesterday as I watched the cast make their rounds and talk to the press during the live premiere in London yesterday afternoon during #harrypotterlive. For a recap of the events, you can view the videos here.

I've never encountered a series that has brought so much to the lives of so many around the world. The fight between good and evil, as well as the strength of friendship, loyalty, and love, have never been tested in such a way that has reached out to fans of all ages. I've grown up to Harry Potter (okay, it really took up most of my 20's, but seriously...isn't that usually when we all grow up anyway? LOL) and now that the series has come to its official end with the final film, it does kind of tug at the ol' heartstrings a bit. I could probably go on and on with this post because there's just so much more I'd like to say, but if you've been following the books and the movies and everything in between, I'll bet that you already know how I feel without my having to say it. So I leave you with the trailer for the 8th and final film...

Are you a fan of the series? What were some of your favorite moments in the books/movies?

And today's JGL moment... *dies*

Fun Friday: One Man Disney Show

So I was perusing YouTube and found this awesomesauceness of a video that made me literally go O_O... I am an absolute fan of everything DISNEY and this guy just made me squee multiple times while watching this. He does all the singing voices and I actually found him on Twitter here and realized that he works at Pixar (ironically)! LOL

So without further ado, Nick Pitera...
