Astronaut Chris Hadfield &Two Expedition Crewmates Have Returned Safely to Earth
I would totally do space if it weren’t for the return home: landing a metal shoebox that slams into the Earth.
Like character analysis? Like Leonardo DiCaprio? Then, you’ll love this.

Once in awhile I’m so funny that my husband has to blog me.
SHUT UP HE’S NOT MAKING FUN OF ME!
Me:: I don't wanna go to the gym.
Self:: I bet Gimli didn't want to run either. Those hobbits were lucky you weren't part of that fellowship.
Me:: >:( Fine.
If I were writing … the ending of Harry Potter series
Problem: Not a strong enough ending to a widely loved series.
Here’s my version:
In the scene where Harry fights Voldemort, Harry needs to accept that he is Voldemort and Voldemort is Harry (which is a running theme throughout the books btw). So, in order to defeat Uncle V, Harry needs to cast not a spell that counters V’s spells but needs to cast instead a spell that amplifies V’s spell to absorb. In essence, Harry magically siphons all of V’s magic. In doing so, Harry would go into magical overload - hark! the metaphorical death sans seeing dead people - and nearly dies. He awakes in the hospital wing to learn that in absorbing all of Voldemort, Harry has lost his magical capabilities, which reassures the readers that Voldemort can never return because if he is Harry and Harry is him, and Harry can’t do magic, Voldemort’s kinda SOL. To sweeten the deal, Harry now becomes the professor of dark arts, a lecture series.
Bonus: Harry’s character arc is strengthened in that his whole life, he’s fought against being a muggle only to come full circle, and return to being a muggle.
“Charles Ramsey is a hero because he called the police and helped them save three women from reportedly being raped and impregnated in a basement for a decade. But he’s a meme because he’s black and on TV, and because so many choose to ignore the horrible realities of the crime.”
Kirsty Mitchell’s late mother Maureen was an English teacher who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays. Following Maureen’s death from a brain tumour in 2008, Kirsty channelled her grief into her passion for photography.
She retreated behind the lens of her camera and created Wonderland, an ethereal fantasy world. The photographic series began as a small summer project but grew into an inspirational creative journey.
‘Real life became a difficult place to deal with, and I found myself retreating further into an alternative existence through the portal of my camera,’ said the artist. (read the rest here).
I want to scatter those pictures on my walls, creating the world of beauty at my fingertips.
