Wizard News: Orlando Bloom vows to stay in England

What a loss to the US!

My "skinny pants" (y'know, that pair we all save coz we swear some day we'll fit in them again?) are too big. And I don't mean just a little. I had to look at the tag twice when I put them on today to make sure it was the right pair. They're so baggy my mom offered to alter them for me so I can have a butt again...

What makes me happy today?
