Sweatyville

Remember that Smallville episode where there's a massive heat wave and everyone is all sweaty and sexy? Well, it's kind of like that in Seattle right now, minus the sexy part.

It's gonna be a hot 'n' sweaty weekend!

Events I'd normally be looking forward to this weekend:

Saturday: Running the Torchlight 8K

Sunday: Softball Play-offs

Events I'm not looking forward to this weekend because it's supposed to be in the nineties:

Saturday: Running the Torchlight 8K

Sunday: Softball Play-offs

Why does this have to be the weekend where I have multiple sporting events planned? Over-ambitious Marisa had to register for the 5-mile race instead of the 3-mile race. Our (surprisingly) not-so-bad softball team had to make the play-offs. Of course I'm jokingly being sarcastic about these things, but still...how the heck am I supposed to run around when it's in the nineties? I'm going to be very sweaty and sunburned by Sunday night, but if I'm lucky, I'll also have another race under my belt and a softball championship title.

I heart Harry Potter 6!

I saw HP 6 last night...well, technically this morning, since it was at midnight. I loved it! The sixth book is my favorite Harry Potter book, and I thought the movie did an excellent job of capturing the tone of the book. And it was surprisingly hilarious at times. Every HP film has a few moments where I chuckle, but this one definitely had the most. And I think that can be attributed to J.K.'s brilliant ability to capture the simultaneous awkwardness/sweetness of being a teenager, which was perfectly translated in film.

HP 6 also broke the box office record for a midnight showing, bumping Dark Knight off its high horse.

HP 6 in T minus 26!

I've been dying to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. This movie is l-o-n-g overdue (I'm still bitter over its delayed release, but I'm sure all bitterness will dissolve once I am at the theater tomorrow night at midnight!).

16 and Pregnant

What is it with me and pregnancy shows? This MTV show is a good one, though. Every episode features a different teen and follows her in the months leading up to the birth of the baby and then for a little while after the baby's birth. So far, most of the girls on the show have decided to keep their babies.
