This is pretty much just Harry Potter related stuff and things that make me laugh. So, if you don't like laughter or Harry Potter, you probably won't like this.

Also, my Pottermore username is NoxAuror18 :)
The fiance went as Tony Stark, and was promptly accosted by Loki. Immediately after this photo was taken, we kind of broke New York City.

Me on the left as River Tam, and a group of other friendly Browncoats. I was very happy to find some others at the convention.  The girl as Inara was stunning, omg.

Unpopular opinion!

I tried reading Good Omens and thought it was boring.

Any book with the phrase “gayer than a tree full of monkeys” or “he didn’t fall, so much as saunter vaguely downwards” just can’t be boring. And this book has BOTH.

#that’s not an unpopular opinion #it’s just something that’s wrong

Sorry, I’ll try to chug more caffeine through the boring bits to keep me awake next time.

“Gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide”. Good Omens has the distinction of being the first book that actually made me laugh out loud. Definitely worth the caffeine intake. 

Kickstarter - Untitled North Korea Article

This year, the Democratic People’s republic of Korea will not only be performing the Mass Games (Arirang Festival- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arirang_Festival)  in Pyongyang, as they do every year, this year will be especially noteworthy, as it is the 100th Anniversary of the birth of the founder of the DPRK, Kim Il-Sung. The government of North Korea will be spending 20% of its total GDP on the celebration of his birth, roughly $2B. On top of attending this ceremony, the chosen tourists will also visit other sites in the North, including hospitals, schools, North Korean homes, historical sites, and even the Northern side of the 38th parallel. The tourists will be given guided, chaperoned tours of the country, exclusively separate from the average North Korean. These efforts are known as Public Diplomacy, or in short, uncertain terms, communication with foreign publics, designed to inform and influence.” The US definition is “diplomatic efforts to promote the national interest of… through understanding, informing, and influencing foreign audiences.” In either case, the target of the communication is the citizens of another country.
