"Another fantastic talking book.
Jim Dale outdoes himself on Pettigrew's squeaky voice, and Sirius Black is fittingly rumbly. There's no more Professor Lockhart, which is good because I didn't like Dale's voice for him. ...more " |

"I also used this book for my final storytelling set. It was really cute, and introduced the concept of mixing colors really well.

"But who can say what's best? That's why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives."

"I often recall these words when I am writing, and I think to myself, “It’s true. There aren’t any new words. Our job is to give new meanings and special overtones to absolutely ordinary words.” I find the thought reassuring. It means that vast, unknown stretches still lie before us, fertile territories just waiting for us to cultivate them."

"Midori: So I made up my mind I was going to find someone who would love me unconditionally three hundred and sixty-five days a year.
Watanabe: Wow, and did your search pay off?
M: That's the hard part. I guess I've been waiting so long I'm looking for perfection. That makes it tough."

A poem I wrote for a creative writing class in college. The assignment was to write a poem, where every line began with a verb. I added the last stanza after the fact, trying to give her--and me--a more hopeful ending.

Some magnetic fridge poetry I did last night. My oh my, this was a challenge. If the beginning seems more cheery than the end, that's because it changed, and then changed again as I was creating it, just based on what words I had to work with. I'm pleased with the end result, but it is definitely more fatalistic than originally planned.
