Sweet Anticipation

My dad picked up my pre-ordered copy of the new Harry Potter book. It's waiting for me at my parents' house. Naturally, I'll be heading out there early tomorrow to run my hands over it. I actually have a lot of work to do tomorrow; I have to make a presentation for Monday morning, and finally take a look at the comments my friends and family made on my personal statement, polish that up, and email that to the doctor writing my dean's letter. (Oh, that reminds me, I also need to revise my resume and send that along to the doc as well.)

So yeah, I'll go drool over it tomorrow, but it won't be until tomorrow night, after I've snuggled into bed, that I'll allow myself to start reading. Oh baby.

In a related story, I went with Jaime, Diane, and Dave to see the new Harry Potter movie tonight. I loved it! I think it's the best movie so far, which as Diane pointed out, is ironic since the book wasn't one of the better ones. I just liked the pacing, the lighting, the flying (for some reason them flying over modern-day London excited me greatly), and especially the writing. Unlike the other movies, this movie didn't contain everything the book did, so the plot unfolded naturally.

And to put a good end on this good day, the Phils are winning 7-4 right now.
