thistlechaserKnock on wood, I think today might be the start of an upswing.
I stayed up too late reading (which is becoming a bad habit), but I did sleep through the night. Heck, I slept until my alarm went off, which is like a once yearly thing. No rain on the way to work. After a moment of panic, cow orker showed up ('better late than never' totally applies here). Yay not having to do double the workload today!
Got all my Christmas stuff wrapped and boxed last night. It's sitting in my car, ready to be taken to the post office at lunchtime. Yay not having to deal with buying anymore gifts!
The biggest plot thing ever done on the MUSH is moving right along. First ONS went well, now there's lots of IC posting to do until the next ONS. Woo woo.
I'm about halfway through the fourth HP book. Everyone who said the third book was their favorite was right. I'm not disliking Goblet of Fire, but I'm not liking it anywhere near as much. The first 100-150 pages were "fluff". The whole elf liberation thing makes me want to slap Hermione across the face. And maybe it's because I read all four books in a row, but the whole 'Secret plot to kill Harry!' thing is really old. Oh! Oh! Oh! Who ever could it be trying to kill Harry this time! Hmm... could it be... a follower of He Who Cannot Be Named? *gasp!* No way!
But even with my gripes, I'm still enjoying reading it. Her books have great heart, if nothing else. Oh, and I saw an interview with her over the weekend. The seventh book will be the last of the series for sure; she has the final chapter of it already written. Boy, she seemed like a nice person. I wish I had seen the whole interview. (Biography did an hour long special on her, I caught the last 20 minutes or so.)

Does she sound eager to be done with writing them?
