"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Movie Marathon

~Every man's memory is his private literature.
~Aldous Huxley

It's been a while. I'm not doing so hot on blogging this month. But since I just did all but one assignment for Wednesday... in less than two hours (granted, I didn't really read all of the sections in Chicago-it was like 150 pages of rules that I will look up when I need them so I can get practice understanding and applying them) I thought I'd blog some :)

I had a great weekend. Went home-as always. Honestly, I'm home so much lately. And I love it. I almost spend more nights at home than I do in my apartment. One might wonder why I don't just move home... well, there are many reasons that I don't want to get into on the internet. But I'll just say I have a love-hate relationship with my apartment and living in Provo.

I saw the new movie "Thor" on Friday... now, I'm not much for the comics and superheros and all that. It was pretty good though. But then I can't compare to anything... Sometimes it seemed to drag on a little but it was worth seeing. I was also thinking how Harry Potter comes out soon! I'm excited about that. But sad the movies will be over. Which is interesting to me because I am a book person and I hate when the turn books into movies. But I guess they did this early enough in my life that it's how it is. I had only read half the books when I saw the first movie so the characters were shaped around the characters in the movie-if that makes sense. They've just been going on so long it may just be sad.

But then, when all the movies are on DVD I'm going to have a Harry Potter movie marathon. Eight movies all in a row. It's totally on my bucket list. I'm pretty excited.
