Aunt K had a great idea that I create a Harry Potter discussion page so that those of us who have finished the book can speak openly. There’s a link up at the very top bar of the page, by the Home & About links.Â
Spoiler warning: we’ll be talking about specific plot points in the [...]

New Harry Potter discussion page
*sigh*
I’ve been exhausted beyond all reasonable explanation the last few days, not sleeping well at all, and can hardly walk from here to there without feeling the strong urge to lay down and take a nap. And I feel really lonely. Do you ever get that way? You’ve been surrounded by family or friends, and you [...]
Sylar? Spock. Spock? Sylar.
In the best piece of casting news I’ve heard since Kevin Spacey becoming Lex Luthor, Zachary Quinto (aka Sylar on Heroes) is almost a lock to play Spock in the upcoming JJ Abrams-headed Star Trek movie.Â
He definitely has the eyebrows for it. He plays a brilliant intellectual creepy guy, and I think that will translate [...]
All done with HP! (No spoilers, I promise)
I was home by 12:20 last night, book in hand. I read until 4, and then woke up at about 6:15 and kept going. Fantastic book. All the questions I could think of were answered. Actually, I can think of one minor question that wasn’t, but it’s not really important to the story. I laughed, [...]
It’s Harry Potter day, it’s Harry Potter day!
Finally! We’re less than 24 hours away, and it can’t come soon enough. Spoilers are leaking out all over the place, and I have to carefully avoid TV and the internet until I’m done with the book. I promise to beat the crap out of anyone who tries to spoil me.Â
Legen - wait for it - EMMY!
Neil Patrick Harris got an Emmy nomination for supporting actor in a comedy! I’m so happy about that one. Other nominations of interest:
Several for BSG - directing, writing, sound, and other random things
Jenna Fisher from the Office for best supporting actress
Lots for Ugly Betty
Ben from Lost! And Locke! Hooray for them. I’ll be glad when [...]
Down to the nitty gritty
4 days, 4 hours left on the HP countdown! I finally put in the order for our books yesterday evening. (Rin - Bolingbrook it is!) I can’t wait! They had a whole table of Harry Potter crap at Barnes & Noble.Â
The last several days did a number on my body - I’m all kinds of [...]
Some wedding photos
I took these photos at a wedding on Friday night. I wasn’t there for the whole ceremony unfortunately, so I missed some good ones of the vows & such, but I was pretty happy with some of them. A couple of my favorites are below. The rest can be found on an album in my [...]
Cuban applies to buy the Cubs
Mark Cuban has thrown his moneybags in the ring…Â it will be interesting to see what happens there.
And check out some of my photos from our family time yesterday. Those of you who were at the wedding will remember the two little ones from the wedding. I’m getting better with the camera every time I use [...]
