Potter
Amazon came through on their promise and the new Harry Potter book arrived today. I'm certainly psyched to read it; however, being that it's the end of the semester for me, Kelly's going to get the first crack at it. She can keep a secret well--we did it in the same order last time, and she didn't reveal anything.
One thing that I thought of as the book came was how much I've forgotten from the earlier books, especially the last two (probably in particular since there haven't been movies of them yet). But more than that, I think it's because I read them so damn fast; like all the Dan Brown books, once I get going on a Harry Potter book I just tear through it like butter. It's not like it's reading Patterson, after all. One of these days I'll get around to re-reading the earlier books, but in the meantime I just hope the ending isn't ruined for me before I get to it...
Oh, and did anyone catch Rob Cordry's attempt to impersonate JK Rowling on the Daily Show the other night? Hilarious...

Rob Cordry's impersonation was impressive. I am happy he will still be around the Daily Show when Stephen Colbert gets his own show in a few months.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about Colbert's show! Good to hear that Cordry will still be around. Now, if they would only bring back Stacey Grenrock-Woods...

I know who the half blood prince is!
What's funny is I don't even know what a half blood prince is!

Oh and here is a good article about how Harry Potter is dumbing down America.
