Harry Potter

  • Harry Potter and Bewitched

    Some of you may remember me talking about that scary documentary Jesus Camp a few months back.  Most of the people in this documentary thought Harry Potter books and movies were evil.  Kids were not allowed to read the books, nor were adults.

    This brought me back to when I was a kid.  I don't remember any religious controversy involving one of my favorite shows, Bewitched.  To my knowledge, no one said the show was evil or contrary to Biblical teachings. 

    It's true, the witches and warlocks on Bewitched were always getting into trouble with their spells and what not, but they were still just as much of a witch as Harry. 

    Where was the uproar?  I think Bewitched got ripped off by not being considered controversial. 

    Anyway, thinking about Bewitched really took me back.  One of my favorite episodes was when Tabitha went to What was then called Nursery school.  Mrs. Stevens, who by the way was pretty lucky her son Darrin got such a hot wife considering he was not cute at all, made Samantha send her.

    To keep her mind off Tabitha, Mrs. Stevens took Sam shopping.  She kept popping in and out of the dressing room to check on Tabitha.

    To make a long story short, Tabitha turned her friend into a butterfly, because the bitchy teacher made her be the toad at circle time.

    Obviously, this episode had a profound effect on my life, because I have oldsheimers and I remember it pretty clearly. 

    That show was pretty funny considering the premise.  And who didn't want to marry Samantha?  Even I wanted to marry Samantha, and I'm not a lesbian.

    I mean she was adorable, beautiful eyes, a cute little twitchy nose, AND unlike her nerd husband, I would let her do all the magic she wanted.

    That's the only problem with both Bewitched and I Dream Of Jeanie, they have these beautiful women, who can literally make magic, but they forbid them to do so?  Please!

    Sometimes Jeanie got on my nerves and I wanted to pull her pony tail.  And as I stated before, I thought the black and white Darrin and the in color Darrin were not attractive enough for Samantha.

    This entry was not really about Harry Potter, it was mostly about Bewitched, but I don't need 400 comments telling be that, I already know.

     

  • This Blog Entry Is NOT about Harry Potter

    Yes, you read that right, I am NOT going to talk about Harry Potter, the book or the movie. 

    Sorry to disappoint, but this is really getting out of hand.  I read an article about a couple in Oregon who were headed to Barnes and Nobel on their wedding night to get a copy of the book. 

    Granted Expunge and I spent much of our wedding night counting our money, but going to get a book?  Weird.

    I wonder if they read aloud to each other all night?

    I could see ordering it and reading it on your down time during the honeymoon, I mean even Viagra addicts need a break.  But to go to a bookstore on your wedding night, it's just crazy.

    I just don't get what the rush is.  The book is not going anywhere.  It's just like when people wait in line for hours, in the cold, for a new game system.  What is that? 

    We always have to be first in this culture.  Just like the people who practically pee their pants when they are first to comment on certain popular xanga sites.  You know who you are.

    I feel like it's just me and the people who think Harry Potter is the devil who did NOT get the book yet. 

    I'm assuming all the book stores are sold out, I think it would be funny to call a bunch of them and ask if they have the book.

    I know, real mature right?  It would be fun to hear the clerks reactions though.  I'm sure they would be appalled at my stupidity.

    I could do a comparative study of which book store clerk got the angriest when asked if they have the book.

    Why do some people in that book have normal names and some don't?  I think that's irritating.  I mean Hermione?  No one could even pronounce it until the first movie came out .

    My name was going to be Harry if I was a boy.  Harry Pincus, OMG how cruel is that?

    Thank you God for making me a girl.  Remember there was no Harry Potter in 1960. 

    Well thanks for taking the time to read this non- Harry Potter entry.  I am off to read some more non- Harry Potter entries, if you have one let me know.

    I might come by.
