Harry Potter Bound

Harry_Potter_-_29

Today we’ll be driving up to Orlando to attend The Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s grand opening tomorrow. I can’t even describe the feelings I am experiencing. Being such a huge Potter fan, this is a dream come true. I am so excited to be fully immersed in the world of Hogsmeade and Hogwarts Castle – something I could only imagine while reading the books and watching the movies. I know it will probably be a total sensory overload, but I’m ready to take on the challenge! I am especially looking forward to riding on the new attraction housed in Hogwarts Castle: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. I’ve heard it is mind-blowing. Also, I can’t wait to drink Butterbeer and Pumpkin Juice (& you know I’ll toast to the boy who lived).

For those of you that follow me on social networks, I’ll be live tweeting my experiences in and around the park and trying my best to upload photos to share with you all on both Twitter and Facebook.

I promise I’ll be back with a full review come next week!
The adventure begins…NOW!

First off, I’d just like to say that I am so happy with the turnout for both giveaways I’ve hosted the past two weeks. I am especially blown away at the response for yesterday’s Lulu’s contest! I hope to be able to continue to provide more unique and fun giveaways for all of you in the future. I am very proud of where this blog is heading and am not planning on slowing down one bit! So thank you to all my loyal readers, as well as new ones. It makes me infinitely happy to know that I can make others smile with something I have created. 🙂

1. LOST finale
1. LOST finale

I cannot believe it’s time. I truly think this is the end of an era. LOST changed television. They made it OK for television shows to make its viewers think. TV no longer has to be mindless entertainment. LOST was a very big part of my life from beginning to end and I am terribly sad to see it go. I have grown attached to all the characters as if I personally knew each and every one of them. But at the same time, I am so excited to see the conclusion. How is this all going to end? I have utter and complete faith that Damon and Carlton are going to serve us up a mind-blowing 2.5 hour finale on Sunday night, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to cry. A lot. So keep those tissues handy, fellow LOSTies!
ps; Isn’t Libby one of the greatest underrated characters? I love her.

So I decided to say Screw It! to Lovable Friday today to let you know how awesome Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince was. I was planning on a full review, but lately I have felt a little less than inspired and honestly very burnt out. All I can say is my vacation to San Diego can’t come soon enough!

Although not entirely true to the book (what movie is, really?), it did a great job capturing the feel and the basics. Plus the visuals were absolutely amazing! I wasn’t able to re-read the book in time for the movie, but I think it was one of the best so far. Unfortunately, the madness at the theater made me think twice about ever attending another midnight movie again and definitely solidified my plans to watch New Moon at Cinebistro (they showed the trailer & all the little girls shrieked like they had just been stabbed).

So with that, I wish you all a great weekend & hope you are not too disappointed with my lackluster post today. Good news? I’ll be cutting my hair this morning and hitting up Yard House for happy hour! Thank goodness for a little R&R to recharge the batteries!

Lovable Friday!

1. FuerzaBruta Miami
1. FuerzaBruta Miami

The show that took New York City by storm is finally making its way to Miami. FuerzaBruta is described as being “a non-stop collision of dynamic music, visceral emotion and kinetic aerial imagery.” The audience are active members in the performance with the majority of the action taking place inches above their heads. Intrigued, right? I know I am! I hope to be able to pick up some tickets to see this infamous show at the Adrienne Arsht Center. If you want to as well, click here!

1. So NoTORIous

Yes, it’s an old show. No, I never watched it. Until now. And although it makes my brain bleed because of its complete stupidity, I can’t help but love Zachary Quinto‘s character, Sasan (gah, I lurve him). Sasan is based on Tori Spelling’s real-life very gay personal assistant and Mr. Quinto nails it (a little too?) perfectly! After knowing him solely as creeptastic Sylar, there were a few moments where I literally laughed out loud at the pure ridiculousness that spewed from his mouth. Case in point: “I’m gay, Iranian, and Muslim. All my identities hate each other. It’s a miracle my complexion is as flawless as it is.” Epic.
