how big is your wand?

Published Wednesday, February 15, 2006 by naptowngirl. 0 comments

ok... so i was flipping around danradcliffe.co.uk. and found this movie clip from the premiere in NYC. well, it's a trivia thing where this guy is asking fans how long harry's wand is. (i didnt know how long, but i knew it was made of holly, with phoenix feather core). i know. i'm an HP geek! anyway... some of the kids the guy asked were standing with me at the premiere. i'm not in the video, but when you watch it, look out for a ginger haired girl, and an asian girl. they were with me the whole time. the look on dan's face when the guy asked him how long his wand was, was priceless. you can see the movie here.

Olympic Spirit

There are good people in this world.

Yesterday Joey Cheek won the gold medal in the men's speed skating 500m race. He is donating his winnings to help the children of Darfur, Sudan. I think this is an amazing thing. Then the Chinese pair's figure skating team of Zhang and Zhang suffered a big fall at the begining of their program, stopped, regrouped and actually continued their program. Actually they went on to win silver. That display of courage that level of sportsmanship shown by Joey Cheek and Zhang and Zhang is what the olympic spirit is all about.

happy valentine's day everybody!

my good friend Carrie send me this great article about movie kisses... it's really quite interesting aside from the part where the author goes on a bit about how he doesnt like Breakfast at Tiffany's which i happen think its a GREAT movie. Oh well... nobody's perfect. the aricle is quite funny and worth reading.

ENJOY!

Also, here are some new photos i took over the weekend. leave your comments. or else!

romance in the form of a quiz

Published Tuesday, February 07, 2006 by naptowngirl. 6 comments

As Valentines day is fast approaching, my daily NBC quiz was one of romantic movie trivia. Although a not so movie literate friend of mine scored 0/10 (she shall remain nameless); i scored 10/10. what can i say? i know my stuff. Take this quiz and tell me how you do in my comments section.

I'll leave you with a not so romantic quote from one of my favorite romantic movies:

"If it was 40 below and that button meant the difference between a long satisfying life and a cold horrible death from hypothermia, i still wouldnt give you the satisfaction!" (Bonus points if you can tell me what movie this quote is from.)

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Published Monday, February 06, 2006 by naptowngirl. 1 comments

So, David posted over the weekend about how diamonds are evil. And i felt the need to comment. First of all, who cares if it wasnt "tradition" to buy a diamond enagement ring 80 years ago. That's the beauty of marketing! We should all be thanking the marketing and PR department at Tiffany's for that. Secondly, something is only as valuable as consumers make it. So saying that because of the abundance of diamonds in the world makes them not worth the amount of money they sell for, is kind of irrelevant, because if the market will support the price, and the demand is high, who cares? i don't mind spending thousands of dollars on something (if i had that kind of money), if I (and others around me) feel that that something is worth the value paid. By the way, GOOD diamonds are cut and polished by craftsmen and professionals, and that artistry is worth the money. Not all diamonds are created equally. And there is ALWAYS the diamond district (47th street, midtown New York) for a deal; or the ever popular "family ring" which carries a good price ($0) and emotional family significance. For the majority of nice men out there who think that they can get away with NOT buying a diamond engagement ring for their nice girlfriends, good luck to them. They'll be single forever. Now... tell me this isnt a beautiful ring.
