Rainy Days. Stevie Wonder. Harry Potter 6.

So right now I'm in the kitchen, listening to the down pour of the rain for the second day in a row. Im cooking dinner tonight and I'm bored so I thought since I didn't write I would do some blogging tonight. Im working on getting to school this semester still; although time seems to be going by super fast Im determined to meet my goal. Today was pretty boring for the most part, I didn't do too much just some laundry and took care of some stuff for school. I might be getting an off campus apartment instead of living in the dorms on campus. Overall it's looking cheaper and it's kind of exciting too, I mean an apartment, yay me. Hopefully everything goes good with that situation so it's one less thing to worry about. Paying for school seems to be so complicated but I guess you get more benefits the more time and effort you put into your search. I just really dislike looking for scholarships, I mean I take ALL that time writing an essay and trying to make it sound wonderful and then I don't get anything for it... that pretty much sucks to me. Now although I hate to do all this work, I'm determined to not have to touch another loan for the rest of the time in school. I mean yeah taking out all these loans seem to be so beneficial but interest rates are a B*****. Seriously, who wants to leave school and be in debt, I am definitely not putting my hand up, because I don't want to be in that situation.


So onto the next subject, try listening to Stevie Wonder and listening to the rain.. it's so relaxing almost makes you forget about any worries you have.. ALMOST. So I've decided to do numerous posts about Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. See I went and seen the movie and now I'm rereading the book and I've seen so many differences that it is ridiculous. I guess you could say that Im disappointed in the movie itself, it's so not fair that they left so many things out and then added that retarded scene into the movie.


Side Note: So I was reading this article today on Yahoo! and it showed this man who had mean a living without money at all. Now let me just say this his means of living were obviously not extravagant but he still managed to figure out a way to survive for three years without spending any money at all. Hell he even had a blog, but Im quoting him for something that he said in the article that I found interesting and it reminded me of a conversation that me and the boyfriend had. "Money represents lack. Money represents things in the past (debt) and things in the future (credit), but money never represents what is present."


But anyway back to the harry potter differences.. Im still in the middle of reading the book but here's what I've gotten so far..


Dudley is really blonde in the book not dark hair as he is presented in the movies from the very first one that came out

The Hogwarts express is in indeed scarlet not black, unless I read it wrong because I am aware they quote " scarlet smoke" often when talking about it

Tonks is the one who found Harry on the floor after he was petrified by Malfoy not Luna "looney" lovegood

Snape took Harry up to the castle when he was late, not Hagrid.

Fleur never made an appearance in the movie and neither did bill.. (which really sucks because it was quite entertaining to read in the book, calling phlgem hahah)

Professor Slughorn was described as quite large and bald in the movie he wasn't what I expected but he was NOT bald.

The lucky potion given to Harry Potter in the book was said to be gold, the potion in the movie was water. CLEARLY.

Also I was looking forward to the caldron showing the potion of the felix felicis and it didn't show. Disappointed yet again

Dumbledore doesn't go to the borrow with Harry instead he sends him there by hisself

The slug club meeting was on the hogwarts express in the book not in the castle

Now I know some of these are like.. really? who cares but these are some things that just stood out to me but don't worry for those of you who were entertained. I will surely post more as I continue to read.
