The Forbes Fictional 15 - Forbes.com

This is simply beautiful - Forbes.com ranked the 15 richest fictional characters. One of them is our boy Lucius Malfoy.

This is just in line with a bunch of recent Harry Potter related news articles. A lot have come out of ESPN, of all things:
Harry Potter and the Corked Broom

Harry Potter to Turn Pro Early

And one from Sports Illustrated: A Preview of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup Final

And now…back to our regularly scheduled studying for finals.

Today, as usual, is my birthday, and once again, it seems like it’s about to snow - which is extremely gratifying. I very much enjoy snow, so it’s all good!

However, it’s not going to be a very exciting time today - I’ve begun studying for finals, and that means I’m pretty much in lockdown. Oh well, I had a good weekend leading up, anyway.

I’ve been doing more preparation for Japan. I’ve finished my visa application and mailed it. I have housing for the first few days. I’m going to order my books soon, and then in a little more than a month, I hit the air and fly to Tokyo (by way of Toronto).

I’m pretty much ready to go - I think that this time abroad will really help recenter and reset me, I need a balancing experience. Law school is killer, and I will be studying out there, but the difference I believe will be outstanding. Last time, in 2002, I was reinvented…I’m hoping to reinvent again and refresh my creative juices.
