So I know I haven’t updated my blog in a while, but I guess that’s because I’ve been real boring this summer. Panda and I haven’t really done much.

BTW, Panda has a deviant-art account. Here’s the site:

Anywhoo, so lots of stuff has been going on this summer in the world of reality, and some things I would like to share (As if you didn’t already know most of it.)

First- Twilight, the highly acclaimed vampire novel by Stephanie Meyer, is being made into a movie. I know, shocking, right? If this is the first time you’ve heard this, well, maybe you should see a Doctor. There are lots of videos up on You tube, like, completed scenes, trailers, and behind the scenes stuff. A great place to watch Twilight vids. Here’s the URL to Summit’s official You tube account:

Second- Breaking Dawn, the fourth in the Twilight Series, has come out. Honestly, I thought it was a great book and one of the best of its kind, but you will find no spoilers on this sight, so that’s all I will say. For more information on the Twilight Series and Movies, try Stephanie’s web sight. Link:

To celebrate the release, my mother, cousin, aunt and I went to Forks, WA for the day, then went over to Port Angeles to have dinner at the Bella Italia. (Twilight Reference) If you are an obsessed Twilight fan like we are, and you have not been to Forks yet, go. Just…GO.

Third-the new Harry Potter Movie, 1/2 Blood Prince, has been delayed until July 2009. And for good reason, I believe. First of all, the Twilight movie was originally scheduled for December, and that would have been some big competition (I know Stephanie said the desicion had nothing to do with the Twilight Movie, but personaly, I feel that would have muffled the Harry Potter victory). Also, why not keep the tradition of Summer Blockbusters? Anyway, because of this movie’s delay, Twilight wasted no time in moving their  release date to November 21st, snatching an earlier month.

Fourthly- The Olympic Games have begun! Woo!

Fifthly- Did anyone see Mummy Three? Ooh…I thought that was good!

Sixthly- I got a hamster! Named Pepsi-Cola. It’s a boy, and he’s so cute!

So, that’s all the news I can think about at the moment. Thanks for visiting the Wise Little Owl’s Blog! Please leave a comment on…well anything! I’d love to hear your input on things happening in the world! Thanks again!
