Well, it's been three and a half days since I finished the semester, and I'm still not entirely sure what to do with myself. I spent most of yesterday holed up in my room because I had a bad case of crabiness (being a woman is pretty fun most of the time, but I could really do without PMS). I watched a couple of episodes of Roar I had on tape from two and three weeks ago, and I remembered why I was so upset that it only made 13 eps in 1997. This was Heath Ledger before he became HEATH LEDGER. This historical (loosely historical, to be sure) show was the very first thing I ever saw him in, so to me he will always be Conor, the reluctant Celtic prince trying to unite the tribes of Ireland against the Romans to preserve the roar of the land.
After Roar, I started Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I avoided reading the Potter series for a long time because, as a general rule, I avoid anything that is popular or a fad (it's the nonconformist in me). After my favorite aunt told me how fun the books were, I borrowed her daughter's set to read. I made it through two before I caved and bought my own set. I'm even woman enough to admit I reserved my copy of Book Five three weeks ago. Yeah, I'm a convert. I've seen the first movie about a dozen times. I've only seen the second one once or twice, but that'll change now that I have free time.
I also finally had time to sit down and watch the video of VH1's special on the Pakistani group Junoon which I downloaded from myJunoon.com. If you've ever read my musings on my homepage, you'll know I've gone on and on about how great I think this group is musically and socially, and the five minutes I saw of the VH1 documentary back in November or December 2001 was what turned me on to them. I really wish I could get to Dallas the end of next week to see them in concert -- I think it would be an incredible experience. Check out the video (viewed with Windows Media Player) and let me know what you think. Kudos to Pakidude83, the owner of myJunoon.com, for his always awesome site and to the regulars in the forum for accepting the goofy American chick from the Midwest.
