Killing Time

tarotgalI'm killing time, thinking I might stay up until 3am to see what happens with Pottermore. I'm really not that enthused yet. I know a lot of fans are crazy excited, but I think it's all a lot of hype right now and I don't buy into it. When I can actually get onto the site and use it, that's when I'll be excited (or not, you know, if it sucks... but I doubt it will). I just dislike the idea of it being an exclusive party you have to earn your way into. Every kid who was magical was allowed to go to Hogwarts, even if the kid had no money or parents or whatnot. Making a site exclusive seems like it's against the nature of the books. I know it'll be open to everyone in October, regardless, but it still seems like intentionally drawing a line and identifying who's cooler than others, who the REAL fans are. And SO much of it is down to luck and timing. Doesn't seem fair (can you tell I'm a 'puff? lol)
But, on the subject of Harry Potter, it's Harry's birthday. Squee! That means a big party! I'm bringing the fixings to make knickerbocker glories. We'll be playing Quidditch, grilling, eating, and playing a special version of Potter Charades I made that are themed for the Deathly Hallows, in honor of the final movie's release.
On a non-Harry Potter note, my current novel is giving me trouble. But I FINALLY finished chapter 3. Chapter 4 is already giving me a hard time, and I feel like giving up on the whole darn thing right now. We'll see what happens. Hmph! I hate when stories beg to be written but then resist when you get far into them. Or maybe that's just me.
I wore my new Hunger Games necklace twice this week and got compliments both days from people (most of whom probably couldn't even tell what it was). But that made me happy. I'm not a girly girl. I don't usually get compliments on what I wear. So that made me happy.
I'm nearly finished earreading the newest Cassandra Clare book. Magnus/Alec is sooooooooooooooo my OTP I can't even begin to describe my love for the series. It's stupendous. Actually, it's like an addiction. I devoured all four really fast--couldn't get enough. And now I have to play that waiting game again until the next one gets published. I like waiting until series are finished before reading them, but this was one series I couldn't wait for. It's so fantastically good. And it really surprised me because I was so sure I wouldn't like it when I started out.
Today I saw houses with my real estate agent and mother. I saw some really nice condos... but I think I have my heart set on a townhouse I can walk right into and own completely.
