bad_persephone and the misidentified relic

I feel like I have been neglecting the internets in general and my blog in particular lately. It is not however due to laziness but because I have had migraines almost every day for the last two weeks. But I’ll survive because I have before.

So here goes my blog:
Last week in anticipation of the much reviled (not by me) Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince I watched all the Harry Potter movies. I was reminded of something that’s always bothered me. Why change of the name of the first book to Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone when said stone is obviously the Philosopher’s Stone of alchemy lore. According to wikipedia (the most trustedist source in the world.) the change was made by Scholastic because they didn’t think that children would read a book with the word Philosopher in the title. Is it just me or do you smell bullshit? Children would have read that book if it was called Harry Potter and Dumbledore’s Crusty Old Nipple (well maybe not but I have a point not many children haven‘t read Harry Potter) it bothered me the whole way through the movie (which I saw before I read the book) and even more through the book. Once they described the properties of the stone in my head I was thinking “…philosophers stone?) but maybe I think too much. Or maybe not.
That’s all for now. I’m going to try and blog every day this week. Unless I have a migraine then fuck light, sound and thinking because it just causes pain.
Oh and I found out today that my Aunt had her baby on 7/6(…?). No one on my mom’s side of the family decided to call us to tell us. I know it’s a trans Atlantic call but still. Two weeks people! I swear if my Aunt hadn’t gone back in to the hospital with a horrible migraine that indicates her spinal pressure is off (she’s ok thought. She just has to go back to the hospital this week and they’ll fix her right up) we wouldn’t have know till they called to wish me Happy Birthday this Friday (if they even called for that). Anyway so I have a new cousin, her name is Nafshiya (it’s Sudanese don’t judge us!)
