Harry Potter and the Giant Chicken Suit
So, I have decided to re-read the Harry Potter books before the movie comes out in November. It has been years since I have read the first few. I am currently on the second one, The Chamber of Secrets, and I am loving every minute of it. I recognize now that the writing is much more aimed at the juvenile readers, but I do not care. The writing is still excellent, the thought that people compare her to Stephanie Myer apalls me, and Rowling astounds me with the ability to write well and aim it at children while still making it completely enjoyable for adults. Also, I have realized I am still quite in love with the story and the characters. And I love being a nerd and being able to say this. :) And I am way excited for the movie. And for the second part of the movie. As I have admitted this much of my nerdom I will also admit that I occasionally watch Judge Judy and that it cracks me up (I am not sure that is a nerd qualification but it works for me). This dude is getting sued by a lady because he sold her a dirty giant chicken suit. That just about sums up life. Judy is a bitch and it can be funny and I admire that she stands her ground no matter what, but mainly it is just these people. You cannot go on Judge Judy and be sane. Everyone's favorite seems to be the crazy-tupperware lady. She is great, but blatantly so. I almost like the not-so-obvious ones. They are the secretly insane ones that can be totally related to people that the audience personally knows. If I ever have to go to court because I am being sued, I really hope it involves something like a giant chicken suit, because that would just make it perfectly fine to be in court. Because then even if I lost I could be like "Yeah, I deserved that. I was involved with someone who wanted to be a giant chicken. No way I can bitch about this. I should be paying them money." I hope for everyone's sake, it never comes to this. But if it does, I will make sure that I am on national tv so that everyone knows and can watch it on Youtube for years to come.
