Harry Potter and the Mellow Mushrooms

ms



This Friday night, I headed down to Littleton with Nicole in tow to celebrate two very important dates: Emily's birthday and the opening of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows. In case you didn't know, Emily is a huge fan of Harry Potter. Like, she is THE fan. She named her dogs "Diggory and Ginny". Her living room is modeled (in a classy way) after Dumbledore's office. She belongs to a Quidditich team. Which is all cool with me, since I am also a big fan. I've never been so engaged, so entranced with a book than I was with the entire Harry Potter series.



It was truly magical reading. And watching the movies is like licking the icing off of a truly decadent cake, the best cake you've ever had.



We started the night at Mellow Mushroom in the new Southglenn area. When I was growing up, Southglenn mall was the center of my melodramatic middle and early high school years. I would hang out with my stepsisters in the food court, watching the boys and wishing that we would have enough money to shop at Abercrombie and Fitch (we sell sex...and sweaters!) while munching on Annie's pretzels. We would spend our quarters at the arcade that always seemed to be staffed by people with criminal records, look at the puppies in the pet store, and eat at theTaco Bell next to the CD store, which always was the center for mingling...and shoplifting.

Ah yes, twas was the best of times.

So it brings me joy and a bitter twinge in my heart to see the new Southglenn: an outdoor shopping and entertainment mecca where the mall used to be.

Michel Colucci (28th October, 1944 – 19th June, 1986) Michel Colucci better known as Coluche , was a French comedian and actor, famous for his irresistible sense of humour. Colucci adopted “Coluche” as a stage name at 26, when he began his entertainment career. He became famous for his irreverent attitude towards politics and the “Establishment”, and he incorporated this into much of his material. He was one of the first major comedians to regularly use profanities as a source of humor on French Television. Presidential bid: He attempted to run in the French presidential elections in 1981, but ended up dropping out of the race because of political and media lobbying following polls that showed a significant part of the electorate might vote for him. Some threats to his life were also mentioned. Restaurants du Cœur: He created the “Restos du cœur” charity in 1985. It collects food, money and clothes for homeless people. Death: Coluche died in 1986 at the age of 41, when

Bedtime stories

How is it that it's been just three days since my vacation and already I am feel sleep deprived? Clearly, I have a problem. Clearly, this problem is serious since it was not remedied by a whole week of sleeping in until past 11 a.m. Though, thinking about this issue in the wee small hours of the morning, I realized that perhaps my problem is simply motivation. Because, well, if any of these women were in my bed I'd have no problem crawling under the covers. Of course, whether we'd sleep or not is entirely another matter. Hmm, perhaps this is the wrong kind of motivation after all. Wrong but delicious. Famke Janssen Audrey Tautou Angelina Jolie
