This trailer looks awesome and looks like it's going to give the Battle of Hogwarts all that it deserves. Action, action, and more action! There were a few bits of the trailer that weren't from the book but they made the trailer look even more cool.
I've read all the Harry Potter books more than once, so I am highly biased about this trailer. I know how it ends so the enticement of seeing how it ends isn't affecting me at all.
But, surprisingly, I am now more pumped up than ever to see this movie. So this trailer managed to make me want to see this movie right now when I've already read the final book in the series four to five times so far. This trailer sure as Hell did something right.

Carbonite: Phone Case Paying Homage to Star Wars
Yes, you are seeing that picture correctly. No need to adjust your screen or to try and refresh this page. That is an Iphone cover in which Steve Jobs is frozen in Carbonite just like Han Solo!
This looks cool to me but I would never get it since I don't have an Iphone. Plus, I'm not a huge Star Wars fangirl anymore so I wouldn't buy it just to collect it.
If you're wondering who made it: Someone at the site Society6 did.
If you're wondering how much it costs: $35 USD
So do you feel angered at this or are you laughing at it like me?
The Green: Captured 1
I started realizing I was breathing heavy and looked at Thomas' dead body. I had killed him and was glad that he wouldn't attack me ever again. Then something hit me all of a sudden and made me realize what an idiot I had been. I hadn't just stopped Thomas: I had stopped him from doing anything else. Maybe if I had just knocked him out he would have gotten better.
Fear overtook me once again and my feet made me stand up. After that they decided to make me run. It was like I was in a drunken stupor. A police siren was picked up by my very attentive ears and I ran in the opposite direction on the road.
The sound of the police siren kept on getting closer and closer to me no matter how fast I ran. The man in the shed must've called the police to inform them of a murder. The murder that I had done.
The car finally got close enough and I still attempted to outrun it. I heard people open the door and I ran under the pressure of exhaustion. I ran for a few seconds before one of the police officers tackled me. I fought with the officer but he easily handcuffed and put me in the backseat of the police car.
After they put me inside the car, they went back to where I had come from. A few minutes later and they were back. The man went in the driver's seat and the woman went in the passenger seat.
They must've not feared me that much to send in only two officers. But that would also mean that it would be likely that I would have escaped when they came.
"Officers," I said. "Thomas Savan was attacking me. I was only defending myself."
"By bashing his brains out?" The female officer asked. "You could have just knocked him out."
"But he would have kept attacking me."
"It still wasn't your decision to make to take his life."
"I'll do better next time." I pleaded to her. When I saw her bow her head I thought I was making some head way with her. "I won't kill next time."
"Sorry, we can't take the chance." The male police officer said.
The ride to the Nuscon Police Station was long to me. I was fearing what they would do to me. The scientists would sometimes talk about the Death Sentence and the best ways to kill a man quickly. They would probably kill me since there was an eyewitness account of me killing Thomas.
I sighed and watched the town of Nuscon, Arizona go by outside the car. There were happy people going by. I had learned that the state I was in was Arizona but was still unaware what state the laboratory was in.
The female police officer walked beside me while the male police officer walked behind me. As I walked inside the station I realized that my final resting place might be Death Row.

Smallpox: Gone Forever or Here to Stay?
This is an issue that has come up recently:
The WHO (not the band, the World Health Organization) is going over whether or not to destroy smallpox for good.
While this issue might sound simple, it really isn't.
On one hand smallpox is a disease that no good has come from. Lately it has been beaten and so destroying it would be one small step for man and one giant leap of health for mankind. Come on, is there really any argument for a disease that threatens people to exist?
Why, actually, yes.
For now science has beaten back smallpox so there seems to be no worry about it. But what if it comes back? If people's immune systems aren't prepared for smallpox they will die. Should we really allow people to be put in such a predicament?
Myself, either option sounds bad and I'm glad I'm not the one that has to make this decision.

Bruce Springsteen and TSCC
I am a big Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (TSCC) and Terminator fan in general. That being said, some of the episodes of TSCC are named after Bruce Springsteen songs.
Samson and Delilah (Season 2) is named after one and one of the actresses in the show (Shirley Manson who plays Catherine Weaver) sings a new version of it.
Adam Raised a Cain (Season 2) is named after one of my favorites. I actually checked out the song when I heard it was a song. I would highly recommend you check out the song.
Born to Run (Season 2) is named after one of his most famous songs. This is probably the only song off the list that you recognize.
I might have forgotten some but these are the ones that stood out.
Oh, yeah, you were probably expecting an Earth Day article since it is Earth Day. Well, Judgment Day didn't happen yesterday and I am sad because of it.

Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: Another Viewpoint 1
I lifted my head from the water and Sajoki pulled me under. Blood flew out from the wound in her chest that I had given her. A wound that I regretted giving her and was happy that I would die because I had given it to her. Suddenly I was flying through the stars and the vaporous form of a giant snake could be seen.
"Come home, my creation, I own you. You come when I call." The voice of Hijunaki told me and I tried to fly away. Shifting to different forms the realization that it was useless came to me. I cried out and my form meshed with Hijunaki. I woke up.
The Calling of Hijunaki was telling me to go to a certain place, but I didn't want to go. Why should I go? My love Sajoki was dead and I had killed her. But she had also wrenched my heart out of my chest and betrayed me to Tamui. I hadn't seen her betrayal coming and had been, instead, caught up in my love of her. I still was, partially. Why should I live and why should Hijunaki trust me? Spreading my wings, I thought of plummeting to the ground and ending it all here and now.
That would be useless, though. I had been spending months trying to kill myself and nothing had happened. Well, I would injure myself and wake up in relatively good condition. Killing an obake was hard to do, even for an obake. The first suicide I had attempted I had been too afraid of and stopped at the last moment.
As soon as the sun rose, I hunted. Being an eagle was fun and it felt so good to kill a rabbit. After eating I continued to be pulled towards Hijunaki. I flew to my right and suddenly was flying to my left. What was going on? Why couldn't Hijunaki just let me go to die?
But, no, he couldn't let me die because he had created me and so must feel like he owned me. I was my own person and he would learn that one day. Maybe not today, but someday. Shifting into a human I landed on the ground and let the rain wash over me.
The rain hid my tears and I realized I couldn't stay running forever from my emotions and Hijunaki's Calling. But I could go to Hijunaki later and just stay here for awhile longer. A few hours later I felt the Calling of Hijunaki even louder than before.
As the last raindrop fell I sighed. If I wanted peace I'd have to go to Hijunaki now to get rid of the pounding in my head. Shifting into a raven my mind became fully focused on Hijunaki's Calling. Hours went by and I did not feel anything but joy at getting closer.
After two days of flying, I landed by Hijunaki. He looked down at me, annoyed. Blackness enveloped me as exhaustion caught up to me.
