My fearless predictions for the book.
Harry and Ron get OWLs in all but two subjects, Devination and History of Magic. Hermy naturally aces them all.
Ron becomes Quidditch captain. Harry returns as seeker and Ginny becomes a chaser and a prefect.
Ron finally comes to his pubescent senses. Harry starts dating Ginny.
Dumbledore dies rather than give up the myriad secrets he possesses.

I'm fairly cewrtain I'm not happy with the whole balance in the universe thing. I'll be happy at midnight when "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" is released, and I get my copy soon thereafter. I have to work at noon that day, so I may have to put the book down. The reason I'm working is the upsetting part. One of the members...

Any predictions for the book?

how sad!
I think I may be the only person who actually waits for the paperback of the half-blood prince. Actually, more than likely someone will lend it to me by the 20th.

Sometime yesterday morning, my payment for another year here started winding its way to Cali. Maybe by this time next year I'll have more payment options. I'm not really sure why we can't just do a transfer online, but then mine is not to wonder why.

Thanks for the condolences
I didn't realize that you could only do the year subscription with an MO. In fact I haven't given much thought to renewing yet at all.

I very nearly managed to avoid talking to anyone at the bar at all last night (social animal that I am), aside from the bartender, of course. The streak was broken when a woman introduced herself because she hoped I had seen her purse. She had put it down a few feet from me but forgotten what she had done with it once she picked...

and with you and FreakPirate agreeing to something, the world has pretty much come to an end.

To some extent I miss the tories. I would have voted for a Joe Clark kind of government over the Liberals this time around.
Joe always used to come into my work and walk around looking so sad. I wanted to go up and give him a hug to cheer him up, but he would have misinterpreted and I would be in jail now.

I wondered why it was so difficult for people to uddate their journals, but it turns out that after the first rush of noobism, there isn't really that much to say all that often, especially when the life is one of those day in day out grind things.

Thanks for the suggestion. I gave it a shot. It's mostly plagarized from the CBC article, so I feel kind of wierd about it.
I totally agree with the "not much to say all that often" sentiment. My life is remarkably unexciting. Hence the journal entries from four years ago.
Why would I be wearing a cowboy hat? I bury my head and try to pretend stampede isn't happening.

I liked what you had to say about Mulroney.

I think I'm going to a midnight screening of Prisoner of Azkaban, then picking the book up once its over.
So the local newspapers have finally reviewed Haunted, only two months after its release. It was even on the bestseller list for the independent bookstore down town. We're not even too far for Chuck to come visit.

it was a pretty simple set of instructions -
maybe you missed them, maybe you didn't get it, maybe you think you're too cool...
well you're not. and now you've fucked up.
now get the fuck off my porch.

The worst case scenario was that I, along with my editing cohorts, could have got stuck with a graveyard shift. Fortunately, that was not to be. I wasn't really keen on the working during playtime thing. Instead, I get to wake up two hours earlier and leave work two hours earlier.

Today I learn whether my work schedule changes drastically. This should prove interesting.
Alas, the day of purchasing did not go completely as planned. I was able to get "With Teeth" and "Odessey" but I was not able to get my copy of "Haunted" by Chuck, because the people at my bookstore don't bother unpacking the books on their release date. I'm sure they'll call to tell me it's ready to be picked up the day after I...

I haven't bought any books in a long time. I really need to pick some up. I have been rereading some old favorites, which I don't mind, but it would be nice to read something new.
With Teeth sounds familiar but I can't place it. Who is it by?

So now that I remember what With Teeth is I feel kind of stupid. For some reason I thought you were only talking about books.
So how is it? I haven't heard anything off of it yet.

I'm guessing Snape for the half-blood prince, mostly because no one has talked about him at all.
I figure Ron and Hermione have a thing and that it's one of the Wesley's who die.
The book is sitting at work right now, it's been hard to stay away.
