    Isaiah 40:31

    I read this last month and I'm still haunted by it. Wow. Right now I'm trying to plow through Until I Find You by John Irving, but I think the man has finally lost his glue. A shame, I've read all his books and I generally love his writing style, but this one is a bit over the top.

    Harry Potter 7 Theories *SPOILERS*

    Oh yes, Albus Dumbledore is very, very dead. Interesting theory on Harry himself being a horcrux, though I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the idea. Any thoughts on who the RAB was that took the locket horcrux? I think I know who it is.... ;)

    The Amazing Race on Game Show Network

    Random things I am remembering about TAR1, and why I liked it so much: - Phil looks very, very young! - No models/actors, which is very refreshing - Kevin and Drew, one of my all-time favorite teams - Dave and Margaretta - such a sweet couple - Clues that actually made the teams have to...
