For a while now, I've been an avid fan girl of listening to a Podcast on Harry Potter called MuggleCast. They update weekly on Sunday and it's basically a bunch of young peoples that just talk about anything Harry Potter. I've been listening to them since last September and am absolutely in love with them. If anything they are the main reason I became such a big HP fan girl. They honestly have really good discussion and theories about the HP world and predicitons of what is to come in Deathly Hallows. They are based out of the website MuggleNet. This is a website all done by fans, originally created by a teenager and ran by teenagers for most part. It's an amazing site with tons of great links and info. But anyways, the podcast is pretty cool and has kept me very entertained at work and has given me new ideas and insight about Harry Potter and whatever.
Recently I was pointed in the direct of a new podcast called Geek Nights. I found it from a blog post from Anath of Apple Geeks. This is podcast done by two guys, Scott & Rym that talk about anything along the geek spectrum. They basically do 4 podcasts a week, Monday is Science/Technology, Tuesday is Gaming, Wednesday is Anime/Comics, and Thursday is a open discussion. I got lasts week's episodes to try them out.
and man...
This podcast is awesome. I could not stop laughing and be entertained by these guys. They are absolutely hilarious and I can not talk enough about how awesome this podcast is. If you haven't heard of them, you need to go download their shit and listen to them. I then started downloading more episodes, one anime one that goes over Revolutionarly Girl Utena, which is one of the best episodes I've listened to. If you've seen this series, you need to listen to their podcast, because the way they desribe and review it, hits the nail on the head and makes you "lol" all the way through.
I really look forward to listening through their archives. But yeah go get it!
And if you listen to other podcasts, what do you listen to? I'm curious to know and see what else is out there.

me = phantom poster!
Yeah it's been over a month since I have posted anything. It's not that I'm extremely busy, although I have been busy, and it's not that I suck, it's just that I'm that darn lazy. :P
No, seriously, my time at work and usage of the internets has become more limited, not because my work blocks me from certain websites, but the fact that my work keeps me actually fairly occupied, which is good.
So how are things, you say?
Well things are going well. Can't believe it's already June. Man, next month I will be moving in with Jeremy. I'm very excited. It's really getting old having to leave his place late at night during the weekdays that I do see him, when I'd rather just pass out in his bed, or always having to pack stuff to go hang out for the weekend etc. It will be nice having someone to hang out with on weekday evenings to just do whatever. From going out to the movies, playing some WoW TCG, or just vegging in front of the tv, just having that sort of company is something I have honestly missed over these past few months. Mind you, I do enjoy living on my own. I'm happy that I have finally experienced it for almost a good year. I feel most, if not all people should experience it. At least it makes me feel accomplished to know I can live on my own. Never thought I'd see the day. Heh.
I've gotten back into working out regularly. Especially at work. Having a very sendintary job makes it hard to make sure you get some exercise in, however a few coworkers and myself have found ways around this. During our breaks we climb stairs and during my lunch I go to the gym here and go on the cross trainer for a 15-20 mins then work out on the weights. I want to lose 20-30 more lbs and I'll be happy with myself. I'll be honest, my diet hasn't been the best. I've started going back to old habits which is very very bad, so I'm changing it again and making sure that I'm eating better. So let's just hope I can keep with it! ^_^
I've also beeing playing more WoW, the MMO that is. With playing the TCG with Jeremy, there has been a lingering feeling, a yearning to get back into the MMO, to finally see the new content. I'm happy I got back into it, however I'm still not, nor do I plan to play as much as I once did. I'll play whenever I feel like it, but if something else comes up or Jeremy wants to hang out, I'd rather do that. Yeah and now Jeremy is intrigued to play the MMO. I told him that if he does play, I don't want our lives to revolve around it. So I think I'll let him try out a new toon on my account and just get a new account, however we will definitely need to get a new computer for it. His puter is so not compatible for playing an MMO.
Also with WoW, the TCG has really gotten me hooked to it. We've been going weekly tournaments to a really cool new shop in Spanaway called House of Flying Monkeys. The store owners are awesome and it's a really fun, although, small place to hang out. But yeah Jeremy is really into it more than I am, however we do plan on going to the upcoming Regionals tournament and hoping to do well there. Yes, I'm a CCG geek/nerd now. I even go to their forums to look up an converse with other WoW TCG players to talk about strategy, decks, etc. Never thought I'd see this day. ^^;;
Movies. Geez so many good movies this year. However, Spiderman 3 was poop. I was pretty pissed after I saw it. I won't go into details, I'm sure many others have explained why they didn't like it, and more than likely I agree with it. Pirates was very enjoyable, the ending was a bit sad for me, but still good. Shrek was good. Not as good as the first 2, however having Justin Timberlake be a voice actor on there, made the experience enjoyable. ^^ =P Going to buy Harry Potter OOTP tickets for IMAX on Monday. Now this movie, is probably the #1 movie I have been eagerly anticipating to watch for 2007. Since Order of the Phoenix is so far my favorite book of the series, I keep watching the trailers over and over again and looking at still shots from mugglenet and listening to old podcasts from Mugglecast. I've heard a lot about the movie, and even though I know there is gonna be a lot of stuff from the book not in the movie, I really do hope that the movie will be really good. Also the last 20 mins the movie will be in 3D at IMAX, which means a it's gonna be awesome. I won't give spoilers, but just imagine the various scenes at the Ministry of Magic in 3D.. ZOMG! SQUEE!
In regards to Harry Potter, I'm currently rereading book 6. I'm actually on time. I should finish book 6 before the end of the month and pick up this book made by the creators of Mugglenet called "What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7". Looks pretty intriguing. It's actually a best seller, and it's just cool it's written by fans who are our age if not younger. Well actually younger. Like 18-20 year olds. Yeah that's not my age. In fact I'm 27. Gah! May 23rd was my bday. I'm not into being all big in anouncing my bday, but it was a good bday. I got a digital camera w/ docking station/printer from my parents, and Jeremy got me a really kick ass Serenity poster that is movie theater quality, that's double sided, the type you put in a lighted case. Pic included: ^^
Isn't it purdy?
But yes it was quite a pleasant birthday. I'm just a bit freaked at being 27. I know I'm still young, but damn, 3 years till 30. >.< Not looking forward to that. And what's even worse, my marital biological clock is ticking. Not that I'm really hinting it or telling Jeremy. I'm gonna let it go with the flow with him. Things are going very well with him, but part of me is getting the wedding bell itch. Damn womanish tendencies. But anyways...
Oh yeah movies still. Looking forward to seeing Transformers. I'm just going in expecting really cool special effects and action. Storyline.. haha yeah right. I even want to watch the Die Hard sequel, mostly because Justin Long is in it! ^_^ Ratatouille looks really good, hopefully better than Cars. Damn you Pixar for having a Nascar movie. >.<
But along with summer movies, there is also summer concerts! I'm very excited to say that I will so being going to see Justin Timberlake in Portland. I did have Tacoma tickets however that coincides with Rod Run, a hot rod festival in Long Beach, WA that I like to go to every year because my home girl lives there and it's always fun to go to. So yeah I'll be seeing Justin then partying it up with friends and looking at hot cars in September. But before that I'll be going to see Linkin Park. Jeremy and I got the basic cheap lawn tickets. We really didn't have the money for the good seats, however we both knew we really wanted to see Linkin Park and they are going to be here in July. And even more cooler, on our Anniversary! It was like it was preordained that this was to be. Because Jeremy and I really enjoy LP and have always been saying that if they do come back to Washington for a concert we would go, and lo' and behold they do! And on our anniversary of all days! So that will be a fun time to spend our anniversary together. And that following weekend I'l be moving in. Very fun week.
But hmm.. yeah also including PAX in August, this summer is going to be a very busy but fun filled summer. But umm..yeah that's about it for me for most part. Life is good.
