Last night, I could have used someone to gently take the book away from me and cradle me to sleep.

But, as it happened, I read Harry Potter straight through. I sat down with it around 8 p.m. and finished at 5:30 a.m. Then I slept for three hours before getting up for work. At least this time the tiredness is MY fault. And lying in bed reading a book is not nearly as exhausting as sitting in an airport trying not to freak out and wondering if you're going to make it home that day.

Luckily, I have no thinking work to do today. Tonight I will likely crash very early.

If you wrote a post speculating about what happens next in Harry Potter that I might have missed, please comment so I can go back and take a look at it!

For those who were wondering, I enjoyed the book immensely. Not only are her characters maturing (as they should, since each book covers about a year), but so is her writing. I felt her writing style took great leaps in this book -- or else, she was revealing a different side to her writing.

I had strange dreams about cross-dressing Death Eaters and hiding from Draco Malfoy by climbing a tree and transfiguring myself into a large slice of bacon. Those of you who have read the book may find portions of that statement particularly amusing. ;)

The Ontario Renaissance Festival begins this weekend, and runs through labour day weekend. And it takes place here in Hamilton!

Just think — you can be entertained by both a renaissance faire and my scintillating company. In an alternate world, I'm probably a courtesan men and women travel great distances and pay great prices to converse with, so this is clearly well worth the trip to Hamilton. :)

Check it out, and let me know if you're coming on any given day if you'd like to get together at, before, or after the faire.

Still haven't decided if I should just buy the season's pass, or pay as I go. Ah, well. Life is tough.




In other news, still mulling over HP:HBP, and the many questions it raised.

And, Google Scholar gets me hot. Google me harder, baby!

But now, bed time, as I only got three hours sleep last night, and even bolstered by caffeine and disoriented thoughts of Harry Potter, that just isn't enough. Good night world!
