New Summer TV Obsession and Harry Potter

So how about "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince"?? I haven't seen it yet (hopefully tomorrow night) but I am not afraid to admit that I read the book, and all of the books in the series for that matter. If that upsets you, I'm not really sorry, and frankly if you are upset you are in a minority I mean look how much fricken money the movie has already made, it clearly is equivalent to the fanbase of "The Dark Knight" which I will openly admit I probably will like more than any HP movie.

Anyways the reason I mentioned that is that I have actually over the last few days decided to watch the 4th and 5th Harry movie with Christina and Lindsey at their place so we can feel fresh when we actually decide to see the new flick. I must say I enjoyed the 5th movie much more than the pick because the book wasn't one of my favorites but oh well. That's enough Harry Potter talk for now, on to the newest obsession...

Every summer, or at least this summer and last summer, I have picked up a new show to obsess over that always makes me get that feeling inside of me that makes me wonder how I ever went through life without watching it before this. Maybe I'm the only one that gets that?? Either way I started LOST freshman year, so that wasn't a summer one, but now it's my favorite show and I can't imagine what it would be like had I never started watching it.

My first summer obsession (from last summer) was Nip/Tuck. What a sweet show, I don't even know how to describe it but it is definitely an entertaining hour every time I get the chance to watch it. Shout out to Louis for actually wanting me to watch it up until I started it and another shout out to Leaders for being the guy who actually got me to start it when Louis couldn't. I'd recommend it to any dude, and even some ladies.

The current summer obsession of my housemates and myself though is the show "How I Met Your Mother." Another great show that reminds me of what could be a love child between the glory days of "Seinfeld" and "Friends." Yea I mean that, because I know every reader has probably loved watching at least one of those shows within their life. Well HIMYM is always fresh and incredibly funny and is always good for a laugh. The characters are all relatable to anyone in a group of friends and the story is genuine, all in all it's another show I'd recommend to anyone with some spare time and a good sense of humor. I have blasted through the first three seasons since I started it last Saturday, and I am only delaying finishing season 3 because season 4 won't be on DVD until September, and I HATE the feeling that I get when I start bingeing on a show and all of a sudden I have run out of new episodes to watch. It's like someone is giving you free money all of the time, then they stop abruptly. Maybe that's a bad analogy but I figured it was one that everyone could relate to equally because who wouldn't love just getting money for free and how pissed would you be if all of a sudden you actually had to work for it again?!?

I digress, one of my other roommates, Mannix, just got back home today from Chicago (his and my true home) and we plan on celebrating tonight by drinking heavily on Mill with some friends, a very happy Tuesday I know! I am in the process of getting some videos up online and I promise I'll have one soon, maybe even a general stupid one just to prove that I am not lying about this sweet Flip Cam. Tonight should be a blast though and I will share the details of it with you guys manana. Hasta.
