I have fairly exciting news. Or, at least I'm excited about it.
So in modern dance (it might have been improv, I forget) we did this motion sort of like going into a handspring, but we didn't flip over, we just sort of went forward onto our hands, our feet hang out in the air for a couple seconds, and then come back down onto our feet from the direction we came from. It's pretty fun, so I do several of them from time to time.
Friday morning I started to do one of these motions, but I put a little too much energy into the first one of the day, and my left arm kind of collapsed. I fell on my head. I hit the floor sort of above my left eye/that side of my head, and my left shoulder. I was fine. However, the left bow of my glasses (the side part) got bent upward at about a 35 or 40 degree angle. I spent a long time trying to fix it, and eventually went to Vision World. The guy there tried to fix it, but either the hinge was going to be REALLY weak or he had to tilt the lenses slightly, which disrupts eyesight, since I'd end up looking through the lens at a different angle. Fortunately they were having a sale on frames, so we stuck the old lenses in new (identical) frames. What a day!
In other news, I still don't have a job, but I've been planning my actions for this Harry Potter release! The Borders stores in MN are each having a Grand Hallows Ball, where people can come in costume, or dressed up for a ball, and enter the costume contest! I'm totally planning a Charlie Weasley costume so Awesome the adjective needs capitalization. People can also participate in the Great Snape Debate (Friend or Foe?)(Answer: Friend!), so I'm refining my main arguments. I also have some frog shaped candy molds from a couple of years ago, so I think I'll get some chocolate and make myself some Chocolate Frogs, too!
Also, there's this really cool book called 'Charmed Knits', full of projects inspired by the HP series. I'm getting around to finishing that Ron Weasley Animal Cracker hat from the PoA movie. Woo! I also made a hat that looks like watermelon. It has black pony beads for seeds.
And X Files Season 9 Disc Four came in the mail today. I'm kind of scared to watch the end of the season, to be honest. Reaching the end of Harry Potter and X Files all in the same summer? I better wait to watch more Firefly with you, Kathryn. I don't think I can handle this many things being over.

Rock on! When is this Harry Potter action going down?
And I believe that modern dance move is called a "handstand." :)
I'm totally with you on the Snape=Friend thing.
July the 21st! (So, the midnight that follows the evening of Saturday the 20th.) And I'm pretty sure the movie comes out on... Friday the 13th!
And I've always thought of handstands as being a bit more rigid, less emphasis on the movement coming in and out of it. But it really is more convenient to be able to use one word. Handstand it is. :)
