We just got the newest Newsweek yesterday. Today I read the long article about the third Harry Potter movie that’s coming out in June. I had no idea that there was a new director. Gone is Chris Columbus, instead the director of the ever controversial and racy, “Y tu Mamá También“, Alfonso Cuarón, has taken over. Although I was not a fan of his film, I think Cuarón will make the necessary changes to keep the devoted Harry Potter fans devoted and satisfied. It is hard to make a trilogy keep its audience captivated. Look at Star Wars for an instance. After the original three movies, the prequels were disappointments to me. Anyway, I thought the first two Harry Potter movies were highly creative. It was great to see all the creatures and characters that were mentioned in the books to take an actual 3-d shape. I’m hoping this new addition to the Harry Potter series will be less lengthy and more exciting. Most importantly, I hope my younger sister, who is also a Harry Potter fan, will agree to see the movie with me rather than say she’ll wait until it comes out on DVD or on cable.

I still haven’t seen Shrek 2. I must be the only person in the US who wants to see it and hasn’t seen it yet. Is it bad to want to go to the movie theater so I can gorge myself with movie popcorn? Maybe it’s a good thing that I haven’t been to the movie theater in awhile!

Speaking of food, my friends and I are making yet another trip to East Buffet. This time, we will be visiting the one in Flushing. I’ve only been there once for lunch. It offers and even bigger variety of food. I hope they have some mini pork buns (chao shao bao). After we stuff ourselves, I really have no idea what we’ll be doing. My older sister is out of the country, so I asked her if it would be okay if my friends and I crashed at her new apartment for a night. This way, we don’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn to go to the Today show to watch the Counting Crows perform. So that’s where we’ll be staying tomorrow night. I have no idea what we’ll be doing for the rest of the weekend. If I don’t post before Memorial Day, I just want to wish everyone a great Memorial Day. Go to the mall and enjoy the sales! Get your grill and have a bbq

Oh yes, I finished Sushi for Beginners. It was very good. I admit it was a bit slow at the beginning, but the plot became very interesting by the middle of the book. It made me want to work at a women’s magazine like Cosmo or Allure. It would be pretty cool to work in such a high fashion industry. I have moved to my next Marian Keyes book:
