harry potter and the half blood prince

after deciding that b&n was NOT worth the wait to get the 6th harry potter book i went across the street to kroger, talked to a lot of cool people, and purchased my book right at 12:02am. then i scurried back to b&n to get my dad, who was lost in the throngs of children and adult fans alike.

i then stayed up until 6:30 reading the book, finally passing out due to exaushtion, only to wake up 6 hours later and start reading again. i am now happy to say that i finished the damned thing earlier today around 5pm.

since i can't really talk about the book on this blog, go to my other one instead if you want to read spoilers, etc.

the painting is going okay. only the kitchen left now, so that'll be all day tomorrow. mom and dad are starting to get to each other lately. word of advice to all men out there: never ever tell your wife to "relax" or "calm down" in a condesending tone. it's like adding fule to an already raging fire.
