Surprise!

I remember seeing the trailers for it and thought it looked like an extremely stupid movie. I was setting things to record on my PVR the other night and came across it in the guide. "What the heck?" I thought. If I hate it, I'll just erase it. Turned out I really, really liked it. What movie is this? Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. I laughed, I enjoyed, I ended up with a general warm, fuzzy feeling. Not the greatest movie in the world, but I was entertained and that's all that matters.

3 Days Until HBP

Wow, after all this long waiting, in a little over three days I hope to have a copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in my hot (not so) little hands. I think Marcus and Mike are going mountain-biking up at Winter Park this weekend, so I should be uninterrupted to devour my copy.

I was just purusing PottersParties.com and there are a lot more parties listed than the last time I visited. If I go to one, I'm pretty sure I'll hit the party down at the Cherry Creek Tattered Cover, though.

I meant to post links to this before, but I totally forgot. The New York Times ran a Harry Potter crossword last Sunday.

4 Days Until HBP

I was home sick from work today, so I read some Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Not going to get all five books in before the release on Saturday, though. Stupid work totally gets in the way. Booooo.

The frenzy is sitrring up. Seeing more little blurbs about the release on local news shows. It's also getting harder to get right onto the Mugglenet site I go to.

Still trying to decide if I should go to a release party or not. I suppose it will all depend on how Friday goes. Midnight is a little past my usual bedtime and I have to work Saturday morning and be home for the book delivery. There are only two more HP release dates ever. I really should go to at least one, y'know? I'm sure I'll be in a better frame of mind when I don't feel so darned icky.

5 Days Until HBP

Five more days and I just ordered my copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from Amazon. Whoo Hooo! It will arrive on Saturday (as long as someone is here to accept it) or I get the book for free! What was even better was I had a credit for $1.80 that was applied to the book. I have no idea why I had a credit, but hey, I'll take it!

6 Days Until HBP

Less than a week to go! No exciting news that I could find on the Harry Potter front, so this will have to be a post as short as last night. Still haven't ordered my book yet. Told you, I'm the Queen of Procrastination©. LOL Ordering my book will be the first thing on the agenda for tomorrow as soon as i get home from *gack* work. That, and upgrading my Expression Engine. Whooo Hooooo!
