( Half Blood Prince )
More cohesive thoughts once I get some sleep - I was up early to print our boarding passes for tomorrow morning and now it's time for the frantic running around. Need to go to lunchtime karate today too to get feedback from last night's test. My knees are killing me this morning from all the jumping. *pops advil like whoah*

I have to say, I'm not really disappointed that the release date for HBP is delayed until July 17th.

Why do you ask? Because the release date is the day before Azkatraz begins. I can't wait to see HBP with a theater full of t00bs. It'll totally be worth the wait just for that experience.

I'm putting this post separate from all the t00biness of the weekend, so people who've not finished the book can read about our adventures without getting spoiled. ( My first thoughts ) ( And now, some general thoughts ) ( Thoughts about there being just one book to go )

Are you at work today?

If you're at work, are you actually doing work?

Obligatory Ticky-box question

ETA to prevent spam: Apparently, my students aren't working either! I've had two call-in today. I refuse to touch that pile of grading that can wait until next week.
