I LOVE HARRY POTTER.  it\u2019s nice to like a children\u2019s book that other adults also like.  because i\u2019ve always liked children\u2019s books, but usually i don\u2019t mention it because i\u2019m not a child.<\/p>\n<p>at the library this week i checked out a couple of my favorite children\u2019s books because i decided maybe i should try to write one.  because ms. rowling did it and it worked out pretty well for her, didn\u2019t it?  at the very least, i can re-read some of my favorite books.  <\/p>\n<p>speaking of thing childlike, we also saw &#8220;transformers,&#8221; that\u2019s right, the movie BASED ON A HASBRO TOY.  that\u2019s what it said, right up there on the screen, and i can\u2019t think of other movies based on toys.  except we sat through a horrendous trailer for a movie called &#8220;bratz,&#8221; based on the annoying-looking dolls of the same name, so now maybe all movies will be based on toys.<\/p>\n<p>a few years ago i wrote about movies being based on theme-park rides, after seeing the very first &#8220;pirates of the caribbean,&#8221; and i guess this is the natural progression.  what\u2019s next, i wonder?  movies based on breakfast cereals?  the captain crunch movie?  Uh oh, i hope nobody reads that and STEALS MY GREAT IDEA.<\/p>\n<p>do they still make captain crunch?  it\u2019s one of the many many sugar cereals i was deprived of as a kid.  i\u2019m almost positive they don\u2019t have Count Chocula anymore, and i never even got to try it.  for some reason, though, sometimes mom bought Super Sugar Crisp, and i think that might still be around, except they changed the name to the more politically correct Super GOLDEN crisp.  oh, it\u2019s made of GOLD, not sugar, not to worry.<\/p>\n<p>rehearsals are going pretty well.  i\u2019ve had to go to three so far, and so far i continue to saunter and sashay but mostly i sit around and read harry potter.  i know i could join in singing the big numbers that are being performed onstage, but does anybody really want my voice added to the mix?  doubtful.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;transformers&#8221; was really good, by the way.  i\u2019m not exactly sure why we went to see it, but it was so surprisingly good.  hokey at times, but it was so entertaining and fun and jam-packed with excitement.  two thumbs up from me.<\/p>\n<p>i have to go now, because i want to make a bigger dent in HP#5 before i go to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>i hope your summer is going well.<\/p>\n<p>ok then,<\/p>\n<p>wednesday grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>tonight kevin informed me that i haven\u2019t written in SIX WHOLE days. where has the time gone? what have i been doing? well, we saw &#8220;harry potter&#8221; last wednesday, the day it opened. it was GREAT. not as good as the book, but really good. and BOOK SEVEN, the final book, is coming out on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6JLYy-eC","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/906\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
