Around the house

A short picture post since I woke up late today after the HP movie premiere last night. The movie was really good, by the way! If you want to see a movie that finally sticks to the book, this is it.

The solar lights around my house are really pretty, and they glow in different colors at night!

I'm heading out soon with a couple of friends now! No idea where we're going, but it's sure to be fun.

Adventures Galore

Today I went out and about, so I decided to bring my camera along!

 

This is what I look like as of recent. My bangs make me look like a 10 year old.

First we went to Petsmart or Petco (I forget which) to check up on a friend's dog, Whiskey. The little bugger refused to stay still!

While I was there, I peeked about at the other animals. The Zebra Finch was my favorite! It's so sad to see them in these cages. If I had my own bird, I'd let him or her fly about wherever she pleased within the house. At least it would be a step up from the confined pet store spaces!

Then it was off to Target, where we ogled at cards. They look so colorful and pretty together!

I had to resist the temptation to buy scrapbook supplies...

These little pinatas made me laugh!

T'was a random but fun day. I normally hate going shopping, but I pulled myself out of the house because I wanted to see Whiskey. Tonight's the Harry Potter premiere, so I may not be posting until late tomorrow!

Five Little Facts

Hello! This is a new installment that I've been brewing in my mind for a while. It'll pop up every so often on this blog. I'm a huge fan of trivia; my dad and I even used to compete against each other when watching Jeopardy! It's fun to find out odd little pieces of random facts and expand your IQ, so here you go!

1. Our planet is slowly reaching a population of 7 billion people. In fact, the world's 7 billionth person is projected to be born in October of this year! We'll have to face the consequences and find more sustainable options to accommodate so many people on one planet.
2. In 1952, Albert Einstein had been offered presidency in Israel, but he declined. Imagine!
3. Less than 30 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood! I, myself, am not able to. That's why it's so important for those who are eligible to give blood regularly!
4. We lose half a liter of water everyday through breathing. I guess that's why we're told to drink 8 glasses of water a day!
5. I found this one through my Geography class last year: Breathing the air in Mumbai, India, for one day is equivalent to smoking 2.5 packs of cigarettes!

And that's it! Hopefully that'll start up some interesting conversations!
