Anything Good Happen Today?

[RavynousHunter]

I just ordered me a bag of Valhalla Java Odinforce Blend coffee, by the dudes that do Death Wish coffee.  Got all the same caffeine levels, slightly less coffee in the bag (about 4oz, not much of a loss), was $5 cheaper, and had an even more kickass name.  I'm a happy beaver.

Okay, I know this is a double post, you guys, but this...this is amazing.  I got my epic coffee yesterday, and opened it up to get a little out cause I promised my bro I'd bring some when I come down to visit next, and holy FUCK.  You can tell this is some serious fucking coffee before you even brew the shit.  They've got a really strong smell to 'em, and a good one at that, and...the grounds themselves are nearly pitch fucking black.

Oh?  And the brewed coffee itself?  Amazinggggggggggggggggggggggg!  Seriously, this beats even Dunkin Donuts coffee, and I love that shit!  Excuse me while I go juggle bulldozers or something when the massive 660mg of caffeine hits me.

.....I think I'm gonna have to come over and...confiscate this coffee.

Ironbite-yes....that's a plan.

About 11 weeks ago I created a baby. So, post-day goodness.

A tornado passed very close to my home today, but it missed, so that's good.

My wife got a job as a teacher! I'm going to stay home for the year taking care of the kids while she gets some work experience. We'll see later if she wants to continue working or if she wil take some time off and we'll get a third kid.

Congratulations.

Went to the team member preview of Diagon Alley at Universal Orlando! The Gringotts ride wasn't open (though the queue, preshow, and elevator all were), but I saw the rest of the stuff with a good friend from costuming. It's probably the most detailed and best thought-out part of the park, and absolutely worth the trip.

Seems a bit late to be building an entire Harry Potter themed section of a theme park. At this point, it's safe to say that the series has well and truly faded into irrelevancy.

Yeah, which is why people everywhere are still talking about it, reading it to their kids, and making massive fan projects to it.

I haven't heard anyone talking about it since the last movie came out.

I have.  Frequently, in fact.  Probably because I hang around people who talk about it.

Just because you don't hear about things doesn't mean people aren't talking about them

Well, how about that, then? That's what I get for steering well clear of any and all fandoms.

Yep.

I should probably also point out that the Pottermore site is a thing that is filled with active people.

Also, this is an expansion to existing content at the parks. Islands of Adventure has Hogsmede and Hogwarts itself, while Universal Studios Orlando has Diagon Alley/Knockturn Alley and London. Both are connected by the Hogwarts Express in the back of the park, with guests scanning their admission tickets upon entering the station to be allowed to travel to the next park.

And yeah, Harry Potter remains extremely popular. It's not at its massive height that it was at during the release of the books, but it's still one of the largest franchises on the entire planet, and probably one of the largest in the history of humankind. Diagon Alley is expected to have a massive grand opening in 2 weeks, and the media event was attended by many of the actors and their families (so Tim Burton was there with Helena Bonham Carter).

I was just lucky enough to be a seasonal team member, so I could get in early and check out everything except the ride portion of Gringotts.
