1) I bought alcohol for the first time in the U.S. And I only bought it because we needed it for the Sapote Household Harry Potter-book premiere butterbeer. (Recipe: condensed milk, whipping cream, ginger ale, cream soda, cinnamon, rum. Whisked until slightly frothy. Really, really tasty)
2) I am supposed to be at work, oh wait, now, but I have to hang around until the Aleve kicks in, because the barometer that is the entire inside of my head is telling me that we're in a low-pressure front. Maybe I can fine-tune this skill and use it to get by after the oil crash?
3) Is it bad that I am far less distressed about the parts of Son of Strikethrough 2007 that have to do with fanfic than the parts about not encouraging illegal activities, or, you know, calling for presidential assassinations? I mean, I'm not down with internet death threats from anyone to anyone, I think they should be responded to seriously, and I realize LJ is playing CYA so they don't have to help the Secret Service track people down. But I feel creepy having special, president-only rules.
And that is as upset as I get about it. Yes, we should all be backing up our ljs, staking out alternate hosting sites, etc, but I think that's just good general practice. I am excited about the idea of a fandom-only locale. Though isn't that what Journalfen is for? Didn't we already do this once?
4) OMG Harry Potter OMG. To be honest I am not so excited about it for itself as I am excited about the End of an Era. Ten years, y'all. I have siblings that essentially learned to read on those books. Man, I love Final Installments. I will probably be posting directly after stumbling home from the bookstore at 4 a.m, just to say that I have the book! in my hands!
Have a lovely Harry Potter Book Day, all!
