0 Days, 2 Hours, 53 Minutes to HBP

Man, I thought for sure that J.K. Rowling would have something cool on her website when the clock stuck midnight in England. No such luck! Oh, well.

I tried to talk Marcus into accompanying me to the Tattered Cover this evening. Also no such luck. Probably has to do with the large amount of children that will be there and that he and Mike are going to Winter Park to mountain bike tomorrow.

0 Days, 8 Hours, 26 Minutes to HBP

In just a little over 8 hours, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will officially be available. Of course, I have to wait longer because I elected to order it online, but so be it. I'll just pass the time more quickly by getting two day's worth of dough done so I don't have to go anywhere near work on Sunday morning. Then I can not be interrupted in my reading by my having to go to work. How's that for a plan?

I know I've been a little silly with the whole countdown thing, but hey, it got me to post every day so that I would use the little pictures I made!

There was a link to this comic called Sore Thumbs today on Mugglenet that had to do with someone's HBP countdown frenzy. It was pretty funny!

1 Day, 7 Hours, 56 minutes Until HBP

I'm stuck at work with nothing to do again, so I'm listening to Harry Potter music on my iPod.

Why Indeed

Anybody who knows Marcus IRL knows he is bitterly opposed to marriage. Sadly, as the years go by, the people we know are one by one proving his assessment of the whole institution to be correct. Anyway, we were looking at some shirts that were brought in to have stuff printed on the back for some trivia contests they have a bars. One of them said: "Why even bother with marriage? Just find somebody who drives you nuts & buy a house together." If there had been one in Marcus' size, I would've grabbed him one. Priceless. If you want to see what the shirt looks like, I found a picture of it at a site called "What On Earth."

2 Days Until HBP

I'm getting antsy. These next two days can't fly by fast enough for me. I know I'm going to devour the book quickly and then I'll probably have a HUGE LETDOWN when I realize it'll be an extremely long wait for book 7.

I was on the Alivan's web site (makers of fine handcrafted magic wands) today. I was sorely tempted to purchase a wand or a house scarf when I found out a shop here in Littleton called Sage Moon carries Alivan's Harry Potter merchandise. A cooler head prevailed when I reminded myself that I want to start a business and move away from this trailer park dump. Perhaps by the book 7 launch party, eh?
