If you like the hit television show “Lost”, you’re gonna love the Lost Season 2 Figures from McFarlane Toys. (Also see: Lost Season 1 Figures) The level of detail and realism is amazing. Trust me, your desk and/or bookshelf will thank you for adding these to them.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I’m at a disadvantage when I watch the Harry Potter movies, because I never bothered with reading the books. (That will soon change thanks to Wyatt … who has offered to lend me his books.) Nevertheless, I enjoyed the fifth installment of the Harry Potter series. I’m hoping to begin reading the series by this weekend and finish the series by the end of August. Given my current thirst for reading, I don’t think it will be too difficult to accomplish.

I’ve been very impressed with how entertaining and visually interesting they’ve made the Harry Potter movies. I left the theater thinking: this is the stuff dreams are made of. I can’t wait to read the books and I can’t wait to see the next flicks when they come out.

I can’t quite put my finger on why, but killing zombies is immensely therapeutic.
