A Very Potter Musical

So I've probably mentioned this before. Once or twice... Anyway, this blog post is going to be about A Very Potter Musical. If you've never heard me talk about it, here's a little explanation. So in Ann Arbor, a year and a half ago, a theatre troupe called Team Starkid, composed of U of M students, put on a musical parody of Harry Potter. I regret missing this so much. Anyway, A Very Potter Musical is set in Harry's second year at Hogwarts, and incorporates things from books 1, 4, 6, and 7. It's hilarious, but contains some swearing and "adult" jokes. Team Starkid made a sequel (A Very Potter Sequel), that's actually a prequel, and performed it this past spring in Ann Arbor. I regret missing that even more than the original musical. Anyway, the entire musical is hilarious, and many of the lines have become memes, of a sort. I mean, some of the captions on the pictures on this site are quotes from AVPM. Also, there's this, but some of it is a little mature, so proceed with caution past the first three, which feature pictures from AVPS. And then there's this, which Alex Day just posted today. Basically, I love A Very Potter Musical. We weren't able to watch it together last night, because they double booked the room we were going to watch it in, but I watched it by myself, and really enjoyed it. Here's the link, if you want to watch it. It's about three hours long and amazing!

The Unwritten Pages

Given the choice between doing math homework and no homework, I'm probably going to chose the no homework... as long as it's not urgent. But given the choice between math homework and writing a paper, I'm definitely going to choose the math homework. So today, when I should have been writing a paper that's due Tuesday, I did math homework that's due Friday. At least I did some homework. And I read a little bit of the play we're supposed to read for Tuesday as well. So it hasn't been a total waste. However, I only have about an hour and a half left to be productive, because at 8, I'm going to watch A Very Potter Musical in one of the lounges. Because it's freaking Harry Potter Week! Yeah!

I'm sorry that this is rather boring... I don't really have much time, because I need to do homework for the next hour and a half.
