Literally, two years… July 19th, 2005, when I finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I’ve laid low the past couple of weeks on the internet, have refrained from visiting any website that might possibly leak anything on Harry Potter, and even have picked up other books to read patiently until then. Naturally my choices of books could have been better. Only someone silly like myself would go and start reading Stephen King’s “The Stand” one day before Harry Potter will be in my hands. But given how big a fan Mr. King is of Harry Potter, I think he’ll forgive me. For someone who has never finished one of his books, I strangely find Stephen King fascinating as a reader and literary genius. In his book critiques I’ve read, I’ve fallen for every book he’s lauded, and some of the greatest works he’s claimed as his inspiration I also share in my joy. So, I am determined to finish the book, if nothing else than my list of “unfinished books” is way too long!
I could go on for an hour or more on the events of the past two weeks, but to keep it short, as I’ve got to go to work *bah* I drove to Philadelphia with an AMUN staffer and we went to a Phillies/Cardinals game and went for actual philly cheesesteaks afterwards… the line to get the steaks was longer than getting in the game! But all in all I think the two of us had a lot of fun! This was of course only a few weeks after he also came up to Baltimore to go see the O’s and Yanks play. I’m not a huge fan of baseball, but I’m always up for getting out of the house a little bit. And its interesting to see how the real fanatics react with every pitch… I suppose I must look like that whenever i walk into a bookstore or the DVD section of any electronic store!
While I can’t go into them right now, I have seen the trifecta of summer movies… naturally Harry Potter on the Tuesday night premier, Transformers on the Fourth of July, and Die Hard 4. Gosh I miss going to the movies this often!!! They were all great in their own ways, even if HP was cut in half!!
I’m still patiently waiting for any answer on my work situation, but I am losing hope every day. *sadsigh*
