Bastille day.. Harry potter.. stuff

Yeah, funny how that stuff works out, huh.. I'm not sure, really, but this.. writing in the compost spot seemed like a good idea again. Hell, imean heck.. it's 431AM Wed 7-15-09. Judging from the way they look in the archival morass this was one of my better birthdays in a few years.. got ecards from txmi, Sil and Tu.. Ariel and Nam wrote me a story AND a bit later Ariel forwarded a couple of new chapts of her WIP. And I finished Half-Blood. That's a big part of what kept me up so late.. what is this the third night innarow.. reading HP. So I started Deathly Hallows. and made another pot of coffee. It doesn't look like I'll be heading to bed right away.. Of course iota, but, heh, when has that really been a reliable indicator of what I'm going to do. Yeah, not really a question.
Wow, JUST coming up for air ThuAM.. but I did get thru' all three books and I guess that was sort of a short term goal. Well, it got me out of the archives for a while. I was trying to get a handle on how that went, earlier.. on the page. I s'pose I started Order after watching all or parts of the first four HPs when they ran on tv Sat and Sunpm.. I think ABC ran all four both days, punctuated w/teasers for the pt6 (Half-Blood) movie. Yeah, so I .. ireckoni wanted a good distraction, reading Half-Blood seemed like a good one; why not back up and read Order, since it's @ the house.. I'm sure I woulda read all seven if I'd planned it and gotten the first four from the library, but it was an impulse thing, so I had to go w/what I had.. and then I sorta set a goal to be done w/all three by the time the girls got back from seeing the movie. Annidid. I thought Hailey and I would sit and watch Order before they left to see Half-Blood, but the night we popped popcorn, Jen had rented Benjamin Button.. so I watched that; it's a right decent movie. Hailey said it was a cross between Big Fish (which I did not realize was a Tim Burton movie, different discussion w/the child) and Forrest Gump. So she now owes me TWO movie nights, for Twilight and Order.
The sort.. I started Order Sunpm and finished it around twoAM Tue.. started Half-Blood, I think that was the one that ran into the all-nighter. When was my birthday? I'd been up all night reading that day.. and wrapped Deathly Hallows around twoAM today. No, I musta finished it @ 2 yesterday, 'cause I was done when the girls came in from the midnight show and that woulda been twoAM (actually after three) on the 15th. Wow, sorta all runs together. I definitely began Order Sunpm and I was done when the girls got in from the movie.. anniguess they left the house around elevenpm on the 14th.. my birthday.. and that was Tuesday. Before the movie we went to dinner @ Sweet Tomato.. I don't think I'd been up all night, that musta been Mon.. okay.. read 'til twoAM and went to bed Mon, then read all of the next night that WOULD bleed into Tues, huh. Oh yeah, 'cause I remember seeing some of the ecards in the box BEFORE going to bed and deciding I'd open them after I got up.. um, no.. I saw them but read HP all night, didn't open them 'til after daybreak.. maybe. I know I saw them and didn't open them right away and whenever I went in to open the cards there was one more and then the hot fic and liked them all a lot, again.. prob'ly couldn't pick a fave among them.
HA! ! did the ed run and it looks like the all-nighter was the night AFTER my birthday.. no.. by then I'd finished all the books.. maybe not. Maybe I only got Order and Half-Blood done before the girls came in from the movie. Then, hmm, between threeAM or so on the 15th and twoAM the next day.. which woulda been THIS morning I read thru' Hallows? I sure don't know.
