1. My Harry Potter has been shipped. Alas, it is shipping from the UK because I am insane, and thus, it won't get here for another few days or so. Alas. See, all my other Harry Potters are the UK edition (I got 3 and 4 in Japan and 5 in Taiwan and found 1 and 2 in the used bookstore here), and it irritates me if everything doesn't match. Of course, 5 is the hardcover while 1-4 are paperback, but I shall ignore that. I am strangely not that excited about the new Harry Potter, but I am happy for those of you who are gleefully reading your own copies ;).



2. I just started rereading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I am rather astonished to find that I only read it once, when it came out, and I hardly remember what happened at all! Also, Harry talks in many capital letters.



3. Cockamamie predictions for book 6: Dumbledore dies. Neville gets a bigger role (please? I like Neville!). Someone betrays Harry to Voldemort. More girls in the plot! The war against Voldemort gets started. I have no idea about any of these, but I think they'd be fun to read about. Oh, more Snape backstory?



4. yhlee is here! So far we have watched many, many vids, and she is going to show me Veronica Mars now! Joy! More later.



5. Starbucks has green tea frappucinos now!!!! I am so excited! This was my favorite thing ever a couple of years ago when I was working in Hong Kong, and they have them in Taiwan, and they taste just like green tea ice cream, which I love, and I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for them to finally come here! Go support so they get put on the menu permanently so I can have them all the time! ;) Alas, I got a coffee frappucino this morning because I need my dose of caffeine, but I am getting one later today. Mmmmmmmmmmmm, green tea frappucino!



6. My rats are fuzzy! Er, not that this is news or anything. But I would just like to point out that they are still cute.

Yay, somebody else who is insane and gets the UK editions! The worst thing is that we're going to be gone next week, so even though I think it'll be here on Wednesday or Thursday, I still won't get my hands on it until Sunday evening.

When I went over to visit my parents today, their copy (of the US edition) was sitting on the dining room table. It took immense self-control not even to pick it up, let alone crack it. Happily, somebody eventually took pity on me and put a copy of Martha Stewart Living on top of it, whereupon I managed to ignore it successfully.

Yay UK editions! I am rather tempted now to sit down in a bookstore somewhere and just page through the book or something. Wargh.
