Wizard Battle!

In honor of my bossy uterus, we had cheap greasy delicious pizza on Saturday night. In honor of Harry Potter, we had a special request for the delivery driver:

For all his protests, I think it’s still a pretty sweet wizard battle. I mean, the hats clearly indicate that they are wizards, and there’s magic of some sort being shot out of a wand, and there’s even dramatic tension as one side falls to the other. Well done, Dominos driver! For all of my past loathing of their pizza, Dominos has really won me over with this “do everything possible to please the customer” business. While I have other late night pizza options, none of those other places will draw nonsense on the box based on my whims.

Berry Lemonade Cupcakes

I recently made Berry Lemonade cupcakes to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and they’re even tastier than they look, which I feel is saying a lot. The cupcake base almost tasted less cake-y and more sweet muffin-y, which I liked as I find a lot of cupcakes to be too oily. You can get the recipe at Sunshine and Carousels.

Lord Voldemort, Man of 1,000 Screams

Just like nearly everyone else on Earth, I’ve got my ticket to see the last Harry Potter film this weekend. It occurred to me, however, when watching the most recent trailer, that Voldemort is nearly always screaming or shouting. Really. Watch it.

While there are a couple that I may have accidentally attributed to him instead of others, I count between seven and nine distinct Voldemort screams which accounts for one approximately every seventeen seconds.

Lord Voldemort is clearly an angry, angry wizard. And then I started thinking: what else might get him all riled up and shouty?

Someone get this guy an antacid tablet before he gives himself an ulcer!
