Why can't I sit down?!

SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN HARRY POTTER 6 YET OR HAVEN'T READ IT AND STILL WANT TO SEE IT SHOULDN'T READ THIS BLOG. PLOT DETAILS ARE DISCUSSED! (So very sorry again, Zach...)

On Saturday night, all of a sudden, at about 8:00 PM, I lost the ability to bend my knees without experiencing extreme pain. Thankfully, now, the pain is going, almost 10 hours later. But it came on so suddenly, it really was strange. It is definitely related to biking for 26 miles on Thursday... but it was weird that I felt fine Friday and most of Saturday... I went to my cousin yet again for medical advice, just in case... but of course it was normal.

I went to Beethoven's birth place a few days ago. That was really special. I love that everywhere in Europe is a historical playground. His house is tucked in the modern day marketplace. I saw a lock of his hair!!! It was awesome! Apparently, since his hair was so famous, when he died, the people came and cut a piece of his hair to take home, and the museum has a piece of it.

I saw the Uni Orchester again. They played the Planets suite again. It was better I think. They played Mercury slow as death again. I am pretty sure that their bass trombonist likes to come to concerts either stoned or drunk. He almost missed the beginning of Mars. The concert mistress, and the first cellist both like to come in a split second before the rest of the orchestra. And, not to toot my own horn *PUN :D* but I can play better than their English hornist. Other than that, it was very good. They played the Jupiter hymn section almost perfectly. I loved it.

Our group went shopping at Haribo's outlet store. (By the way, I just tried to spell the word "store" like so, "stoor." Twice.) For 4.40€ I bought 600 grams of gummy bears, 250 grams of sour gummies and a coffee mug. :-D

Saturday night we all went together to see HP6. It really was awesome. Ginny Weasley can't act her way out of a shoe box, and some of the dialogue was a tiny bit cheesy sometimes. However, the effects are great, and Hermonie and Ron (Emma and Rupert) are really great! Harry (Daniel) can be iffy sometimes, but is usually great. Everytime I watch a HP film it makes me want to marry Emma Watson... or at least some similar British girl. I think I dreamt about her last night... again.

Anyhow, it is sad that the HP saga is ALMOST over. Now Dumbledore is really dead... and it made me sad to see it happen. The first thing on my list of books to read while re-learning English next year are HPs 5 - 7... or all of them... it depends on what my summer is like.

I want to see Brüno, and I think our group is going to have a movie night and watch Borat together. It is hilarious.

Pictures are up on Facebook. Haven't taken any of my house yet. They'll come soon.
