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.

Amazon is getting the books ready for shipment:

Oh, man...I hope it arrives early in the day. I'll go nuts if it shows up in the late afternoon!

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?

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.
