End of an Era

Yesterday, I finished reading "Deathly Hallows", and I must admit that I feel a little weird about it. Don't get me wrong, the book is fantastic and has a very satisfying ending. It just seems a little strange to be finished with the series. To a much smaller degree, it's similar to that "now what?" feeling you get when you graduate, break-up, move out, whatever.

Ha. How will life continue without a new Harry Potter to look forward to?

I guess I can redirect my anticipation back toward LOST.

Or I could start paying attention to my own life and spend a little less time obsessing over fictional stories?

You have got to be kidding me...

Amazon.com is notoriously bad at making recommendations, but today's email takes the cake:

"We've noticed that customers who have purchased or rated The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (Widescreen Edition) or other films in the Fantasy > General category have also purchased Seven Petals: Spanish for English Speakers on DVD. For this reason, you might like to know that Seven Petals: Spanish for English Speakers will be released on July 21, 2007. You can pre-order your copy by following the link below."

I own Lord of the Rings, so the natural conclusion is that I want to learn Spanish???? Did I get an email when "Children of Hurin" came out? Hell no, that would have made sense.

I'm blue, da ba di da ba die...

I really don't have much to say right now, but I was feeling bad about the fact that I've been a terrible blogger. It seems like the busier I get, the less I have to say. I realize that it doesn't make any sense, but I've come to terms with the fact that very few things in my life do.

Case in point: I'm reenergized about making a short film. I was driving home from work tonight, and the sky was a furious, marbled purple, which (for no particular reason) made me think, "Gee, I should get back to work on making a short."

Still haven't decided whether to write it myself or to outsource. I was thinking of getting some high school kids involved, but I have a slight teenager allergy...

And that made me think about my next music video, which led me back to the purple sky, which (for no particular reason) made me think, "Gee, I should make a video in duo-tone blue!" And lo, I immediately thought of a couple people who would look exceptionally good in duo-tone blue.

I let people think that I'm inspired. In reality, I'm just completely nuts.
