I’m going to try and have a little structure to this post. Each section is probably going to stay on the surface of the topic.

Harry Potter
I’ve just downloaded and watched an HD trailer for the new Harry Potter movie. I’ve heard a rumor that they’re pushing the release back to summer of 2009. According to the rumor they are finished with the film, but they don’t want to compete with other movies during the holidays. In my opinion it’s ridiculous… While I was writing this post I thought I’d do a quick search and see how much of a rumor the move actually is. According to the Kansas City Star the movie won’t be released until July of 2009. Again in my opinion all the reasons listed come down to money.

Money Rant
Hey I love money. I need it and I want it. Just about everybody does. One thing I can’t stand though is putting money before everything else. Really we’re all guilty of it to some extent. My problem with the Harry Potter move is that they are trying to place the movie so it will get the absolute most money possible. They are trying to squeeze every single sliver of cash out of that turnip they can. I just don’t agree with that. I understand that in business giving up even a cent without getting something for it seems asinine, but there has to be some balance where even though you are a business you aren’t trying to take everything you can just because you can.

Knitting
I’ve been working on the Layla by Berroco. I’m using sari silk that I got from a friend. It’s interesting to work with and I like the way it works up. Since knitting is a significant part of my spare time I’m going to try and add a little more knitting content here from time to time. I’ll also post a picture of my version of the Layla bag when I get it done. For now here is a picture of Berroco’s version.
































Me
I’m doing ok. My gout is still giving me some trouble so I’ve scheduled a doctor’s appointment for tomorrow at 9:30. I don’t have insurance any longer so I hope the financial shock won’t be too bad. I did manage to make it into the Shop today.
