gwynfortyrant says "Very fun site for kids and anyone else too!" about Neopets

I love this site. Not only are there games, there is a whole made-up world and many, mannnnnnnnnnyyy things to do. You can make up to 4 "neopets" per account and you can feed them, dress them up and more. There are many kinds of games, and even a Stock Market! And through the Stock Market, kids can learn how the real one works too. Some of the games are educational without even seeming so!

gwynfortyrant says "Great movie, but did not stick to the book's plot." about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I love this series. I have followed it since I was in 3rd grade. I will read and reread the books over and over again for a looooooooooong time. BUT......the movie was definitely NOT up to my expectations. Although I have lowered them quite a lot since I realized the movies were never going to actually bring J. K. Rowling's masterpiece to justice by actually portraying the characters and plot correctly, it still disappoints me everytime I go to see one of these movies. Did anyone realize Winky never was in Goblet of Fire? Did anyone realize no one mentions anything about Harry's eyes looking "just like Lily's"? The eye thing is big, and his eyes are blue throughout all the movies so far. They are going to have to twist the Lily thing hugely to make up for it....

gwynfortyrant says "A great camera for anyone." about Canon PowerShot A560 Digital Camera

I really like this camera, except for the fact that the focus doesn't work so well. I have shaky hands (it's genetic) and so the auto-focus doesn't work because it has the little icon that means the camera is moving too much to focus. I take pictures all the time. My little brother is 10 months old and is one of the main focuses of my pictures. I also love nature and am constantly outside taking pictures of the sky, trees, and plants. This camera provides sharp pictures (when not shaky...) and is very easy to use, while still having enough options to keep it interesting.
