Harry POT-ter... And The Sorcerer's Stoned...

Just wanted to share this news story with you - mainly so I could make that terrible pun in the title of this post!

I Had All These Plans For This Post...

I was going to come on and tell you it had been a lovely sunny day today (yesterday, I guess... since it's now after midnight), and how work had been okay, and how I'd had a phone call from Lord O. at Julie's bookshop's (well, not JULIE's bookshop, but I bet she could do a better job!) party for the Harry Potter book launch, which seemed to be a great success... but then I came on MSN for a chat with another friend, and I've obviously done something to piss her off - and she let me know. I had to just say goodnight and come off before it got too much for me.

And now I've just had an upset stomach and had to dash to the loo about 10 to midnight, where I stayed for a good 20 minutes. I've still got stomach pains, and I feel sick, but I was fine before... Coincidence?

So, I'll bugger off to bed... or back to the loo again... and just say sorry to the friend in question, but hey, at least I'm being punished for my crime!

The Musical Interlude...

Subtitled: Pottery!

In honour of all the fools getting worked up because the last Harry Potter book is finally launched tonight, and all the great secrecy and stupidity, here's my take on the matter... I mean, come on... it's only a bloody book! Is it really necessary for all the cloak & dagger stuff to get the books to the shops? And all the carry on over who dies - No one... IT'S A BOOK! IT'S NOT REAL!

Julie, I hope your launch party goes well and lots of idiots... sorry, fans... come and buy the book... It's nearly over now, hunny...

The Sundays and "Here's Where The Story Ends"...

The Futureheads and "Skip To The End"... Listen to the start of this - It's quite appropriate...

Oh, and I know who's dead.... It's Moaning Myrtle...

Another One Bites The Dust...

(Weekend, that is).

Saturday... was spent the same way as all my Saturdays - working. Stuck in the shop again, coz our replacement Saturday girl can't start til next week (least, she'd better be starting next week, coz the boss is away for a few days, and I'm supposed to be in the electrical bit... and I've not yet mastered the "how to be in 2 places at one time" thing).

Shop wasn't overly busy, but it was a lovely sunny day, and it's amazing how the sun brings out the freaks... is it the same for you blog readers? I was mentally checking them off as they came in the shop today, and I think I only needed 2 more of our more outlandish customers for a Full Freakhouse!

Shopping after work, then a pizza (garlic chicken... good job I was alone) and a DVD... well, half a DVD - started watching "Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire" (had it for ages, but never got round to watching it yet), but I could feel the old eyelids droop about halfway through, so I turned it off and went to sleep.

Sunday... and my one long lie of the week. Had a very lazy morning, sleeping til well after 10am... then dozing on and off most of the rest of the morning. Watched the end of he "Harry Potter" film... which I was actually pretty disappointed with, but never mind.

Just had a relaxing afternoon/early evening too - did anyone else see the 400th episode of "The Simpsons"? Was it just me, or was it really not that much to write home about?

Then pottered online the rest of the evening. And now I'm going to bugger off to bed, ready for work tomorrow... not a clue whether the shopgirl's back or not, but I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning.

'Night...
