http://amazingdelight.blogspot.com/2010/11/harry-potter-and-deathly-hallows-part.html
What I think about a lot of things. Sunday, November 21, 2010. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part One. In the world of Potter fans, I'm no Emerson Spartz. Or Steve Vander Ark. Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them. Quidditch Through The Ages. The Tales of Beedle the Bard. And even a few books of commentary, occupy a place of honour in my bedroom. We have multiple copies of each book, softcover, hardcover, adult cover. I actually won myself a copy of. As Mad-Eye Moody, and not really Mad-Eye hims...

http://amazingdelight.blogspot.com/2010/12/and-wall-came-tumbling-down.html
What I think about a lot of things. Thursday, December 23, 2010. And The Wall Came Tumbling Down. I ran into an old acquaintance last week, someone I hadn't seen since he and his family had moved to Israel a few years ago. I asked about his wife and kids, told him to send my love, and he asked, "Aren't you on Facebook? No, I told him. Facebook makes me nervous. Too many privacy issues. He snorted. "Get over it. Move into the 21st century.". Canada has insisted that Facebook comply with. I've never been s...

What I think about a lot of things. Monday, June 20, 2011. This post is dedicated to my blogger buddy Lori of. Who is travelling the continental U.S. for the next six months, accompanied by her husband, sister, and of course, Gus. They are currently in Colorado. What idiots come into a resort town at 6:00 on a July 4 long weekend without reservations? We were in the middle of our 1973 summer vacation: my parents, my brother. Picture courtesy of Wikipedia. Glenwood Springs is a pretty little town, set in ...

What I think about a lot of things. Thursday, April 30, 2009. There is something incongruous between the bumper sticker that proclaims, "I AM A POSHITER YID" (a simple Jew), and the $35,000 Toyota Sienna on which it is placed. Saturday, April 18, 2009. I just read the. Series by Stephenie Meyer. I enjoyed it, perhaps a little too much for someone with a degree in English Lit. However, it also left me unsettled and nervous. And loved it; I actually listed it as the. Breaking Dawn has received generally ne...

http://amazingdelight.blogspot.com/2012/03/twilight-revisited.html
What I think about a lot of things. Friday, March 23, 2012. Way back in 2009, I wrote a little review. Series, sparked by hearing that Stephen King had trashed Stephenie Meyer personally. Lo and behold, today the issue raised its head on Facebook, the place where controversies are immortal. The comment has validity; Twilight. Can definitely be classified as a "modern gothic romance," and certainly romance, almost universally told from the woman's point of view (see Part II of Breaking Dawn. If you don't ...

What I think about a lot of things. Wednesday, January 7, 2009. Send a Soldier a Smile. Yesterday I received an e-mail from Honest Reporting, asking me to "Send a Soldier a Smile! You post a message of 100 words, and the soldiers get the message plus some treats from "Gilli's Goodies.". It seemed like such an empty and meaningless gesture to me. "Hey guys, take care in Gaza, we're all behind you here in Canada! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Shop The Breast Cancer Site. Send a Sold...

http://amazingdelight.blogspot.com/2012/05/hunger-games.html
What I think about a lot of things. Thursday, May 17, 2012. Warning: Here be spoilers. Not major ones, but spoilers nonetheless. I had an interesting discussion with a friend about the "appropriateness" of The Hunger Games. I didn't really understand this point, and told her so. Kids reading. Know it's fantasy, that it never happened, and most likely never will happen. The Holocaust, on the other hand, is a lesson on how evil people really can be. Facts are definitely scarier than fiction here. Takes the...
