The silence is deafening

I rather like the notion that all over the world, people are reading.

I'm not, because my book hasn't arrived yet. Silly of me to order from Amazon - I should have just gone out and bought one. Still, I have housecleaning to do to pass the time.

I'm a slow reader, and can't just drop everything to read HP, so even when it does arrive I don't anticipate being able to comment on it until at least mid week. It's going to be difficult, if not impossible, to avoid spoilers, but I'll try.

While I wait for my book - baaaah

It's on its way, anyway!

Just checked "my stuff" at Amazon.ca - item has been shipped, with due date Saturday, July 21. And of course here it's not even noon yet, so there's still lots of time.

Cool.

I can't wait.

Gotta go clean my house.

Still Waiting

My house is now fabulously clean. This was not just a passing-the-time device (nor procrastination - it being summer, I have no ongoing homework to do) - I was supposed to be having company for lunch at my house. She has not shown up, however, so I'm going to make a sandwich and start without her. She may have forgotten or got waylaid and not had my phone number - she's a young woman who used to be one of my mother's "carers, " was my mum's favourite and had a lot of things in common with her. She dropped in for a visit shortly after my mum died, and we've vaguely kept in touch. I will always have fondness for her, not only because her friendship gave my mother a lot of pleasure but because she is the person who lent me Firefly and thus introduced me to the great world of Joss Whedon. She also lent me Season 1 of BSG, so I'm doubly thankful.

Okay, I'm starving. Off to get my lunch and read Entertainment Weekly and maybe HP will turn up...

It is Here

I had thence to take the dogs for a walk (the poor dears had been waiting patiently while I waited impatiently). Now I can settle down for the evening.

Even the epigrams give me the shivers.
