20 Day Regina Spektor Challenge - Day 1
When and how did you become a Regina Spektor fan?
I don’t really remember exactly when. I just remember my sister playing “Music Box” for me some years ago. There was something about her sound that was strange to me. I had never heard anything like it before then, but I knew I wanted to hear more.
Her sound is so raw. She’s not wearing a disguise when she sings.
I close...

That Home, The Cinematic Orchestra
Where the doors are moaning all day long, Where the stairs are leaning dusk ‘til dawn,
Where the windows are breathing in the light, Where the rooms are a collection of our lives.
This is a place where I don’t feel alone. This is a place that I call my home.

Harry Potter and the 30 Day Challenge - Day 29
What would be the first thing you’d buy at the twin’s joke shop?
Either their Deflageration Deluxe; because seriously, who doesn’t love their crazy-awesome fireworks from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix?
Or…a Pygmy Puff. I have a weakness for cute things. It’s a problem that I get constantly reminded of by my older brother.

The death of a snail, the love of a mother.
Me: Barry died yesterday.
Mom: Oh, Megan! Are you sad?
Me: A little.
Mom: Did you cry?
Me: Almost.
Mom: He lived a great life. He went to college. He traveled. You know?
Me: Yeah. That's true.

Have you been to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and if not, do you plan on it?
No I haven’t, and yes I do. It will be wondrous.
But of course, nothing new. :)

It's a sad, sad day in the gastropod world.
My snail, Barry, has passed away.
It was a horrific and smelly event, as his remains gently fell out of his shell.
I am actually quite sad. I really did care for that snail.

Harry Potter - Name Origins →
Dumbledore - Means “Bumblebee” in Old English. J.K. Rowling has said that she chose this name because she imagined Dumbledore walking around the castle, humming to himself.
That is simply precious.
Me: The PSAT this time around obviously was written by a hipster. It made me giggle.
Savvy (withlovefromsavvy.tumblr.com): It said, "mark each correct answer with a dark mark," and I was thinking, "ok if you say so. morsmordre!"
Me: I love you.

Harry Potter and the 30 Day Challenge - Day 26
Does it bother you that the movies differ from the books?
Not usually. I realize that they cannot possibly include every event in the book in the corresponding movie - it’d be twelve hours long. I like to think of them as seperate entities. As in, I love the books compared to other books, and the movies compared to other movies.
Of course, the books will always be “better” than...

Harry Potter and the 30 Day Challenge - Day 25
Which character to you think was best cast in the movies?
There are so many, I can’t just pick one. The trio was very well casted, I think. I also love Alan Rickman as Snape, Emma Thompson as Trelawney, and Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort.
Come to think of it, Ralph Fiennes is absolutely brilliant. He gives me chills, he’s so terrifying. He definitely puts on a frighteningly realistic...
