Comment Friday: 14/∞

It is Comment Friday here at Love All Books and at BAYB (where I grabbed the idea from initially).

The idea is to read the following post, then leave a comment while you're here.

The advantages are

• you will get a link back to your blog from the comment you leave,
• your blog will get some extra exposure from my loyal readers (<lol>both of them</lol>),
• and I'll visit your blog (I'll even Stumble it if it's any good at all! One caveat on that last though: it might not be today, or even tomorrow, but eventually I will make it to every site that leaves comments here . . .)

So, on that note, as long as you're here . . .

I've stopped re-reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling now that I have—and now that I'm reading—book seven, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I discovered that Wikipedia had decent recaps of the books, so I'm depending on that to refresh my memory. (Did I ever mention that Riley is a huge HP fan? Plays all the computer games, some of them better than I, and has me reading Book 5 to him? Well now I have!)

I am officially finished struggling in my XML Programming class at Saint Paul College. (Saint Paul College is—as I've mentioned before—where I am working toward a Web Developer Certificate.)

Riley has been in an all-day camp this week, and I just turned in my last assignment. Stick a fork in me—I am done!

Please post a comment while you're visiting and tell me what you're up to. Tell me what you are reading and what you think about it!

I'd still really like to know which blogs you are reading frequently, and what new tools and technologies you're excited about (raving about even) these days!

And have a great Friday.

Oh, and head over to BAYB and leave a comment there!

I'm still re-reading (to refresh my memory) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling (book seven, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out at midnight TONIGHT so, yes, I'll be re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince also.

I think I'm finished struggling in my XML Programming class at Saint Paul College. (Saint Paul College is—as I've mentioned before—where I am working toward a Web Developer Certificate.)

All next week—the final week of my class!—Riley will be in an all-day camp, so that will help immensely.

I've gotten to the point that I can get my projects working most of the way, and what I cannot get to work the other students cannot get to work either, so I just turn in what I've got and hope the instructor can figure out where we all went wrong.

It's amazing to me how something that seems so easy could be so temperamental and difficult at times.

Please post a comment while you're visiting and tell me what you're up to. Tell me what you are reading and what you think about it!

As for me, I'm still re-reading (to refresh my memory) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling (book seven, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out soon so, yes, I'll be re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince also. Actually, now that I've seen the movie (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix), I will probably just jump into re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince now.)

I really enjoyed Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (the movie, I mean).

Imelda Staunton (who played Delores Umbridge) was absolutely perfect, which is to say she was detestable from the word go!

And Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) was also quite enjoyable to watch . . . she was perfect for the role, playing luna as the space cadet she should have been: soft-spoken, walking around in a dream world, skipping everywhere, a real ditz!

My favorite line in the movie was when Harry and his friends were discussing the need to find a place to practice magic in secret and Ron's younger sister, Ginny, asks Harry what happens if they get found out (they're not supposed to be learning to actually cast spells this year) and Hermione (of all people) says: "Who cares . . . I mean it's sort of exciting isn't it . . . breaking the rules." to which Ron replies "Who are you and what have you done with Hermione Granger?"

I am still struggling—and still hanging in there—in my XML Programming at Saint Paul College. (Saint Paul College is—as I've mentioned before—where I am working toward a Web Developer Certificate.) Things will get better next week when Riley starts a half-day camp all week (and a full-day camp the the week after that—which just happens to be the final week of class!)

As for moi, I'm ticked off at Blogger at the moment.

For some reason, they no longer allow Blogger Template Tags in anchor tags (y'know: <a>) in a post! That had hosed up posting new messages for a while (and who knows what it's done to the messages I've already posted with Blogger Template Tags in them—which is how I used to do the "Post to del.icio.us" thingie!)

So what am I up to? I'm still refreshing my memory by re-reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling (the movie—and book seven, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows both come out soon. And yes, I'll be re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince also.)

I am still struggling—but hanging in there—in my online class, XML Programming at Saint Paul College. (Saint Paul College is—as I've mentioned before—where I am working toward a Web Developer Certificate.)

As for moi, I'm re-reading (to refresh my memory) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J. K. Rowling before seeing the movie when it comes out in a few weeks—and before book seven, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out next month. (And yes, I'll be re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince also.)
