Oh! I should probably mention that I’m home now! I got in just before midnight last night. Yay, winter break! *does a little dance*
WOOHOO!!!! And we have heat again! *does a brief dance, then immediately returns to typing frantically on last-minute work on final theatre lighting project*
Ugh. I just took a 5-minute freshly-baked chocolate chip cookie break (thank you, Nikki and Lisa!) from the evil theatre lighting thing. Nikki and Lisa were watching “The Real Gilligan’s Island,” so as I ate my cookie and drank my chocolate soymilk, I watched a couple minutes.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MY FIRST FANDOM?
Good grief, this is what they cancelled shows like Firefly and Angel for? What on earth is the appeal of reality TV, I want to know?
I love how attempts at censorship always seem to backfire so spectacularly.
A day later: Still no heat, but at least there haven’t been any more power outages! *knocks on wood*
*giggles madly*
Fewer than 12 hours since the release date of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, with publication more than 200 days away, the book is already the #1 Bestseller at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
Good lord I love this fandom.
Of course, I’m planning on getting my copy at the inevitable midnight release party, so all is well. For those of you preordering, Buy Blue with Barnes and Noble.com or help support FictionAlley.org by ordering through the link to Amazon on their site.
*squeaks* I was talking with mum and dad last night, and they said that they’re predicting SNOW in DALLAS Wednesday and Friday nights! Heralding my return and adding a touch of white to Christmas eve! Yaaaaay, Mother Nature, I so forgive you.

Quite a ways to wait, but hey, it’s not as long as the wait for Serenity!
Just got an email from Tab.
FOR THOSE LIVING IN ROOMS ENDING IN ’08 AND ’09
As you probably have already figured out — you do not have heat. Facilities has people working overtime to try and solve this problem ASAP. However, in the meantime, please use a common space or a friends room for study. Also, 1920 Commons is willing to stay open as late as needed to provide a warm study space.
If you are ready for bed and need an alternate place to sleep, please call the front desk 898-5254 and have them either page the RA on duty or the HMOD. You may request an alternate room for the night.
Last, please document your complaint via www.upenn.edu/repairs
I can not tell you how sorry I am that this is happening during your finals and on the coldest day ever. Please do not hesitate to call the numbers listed above for help.
Hang in there,
Tabitha

And the funny thing is, all my friends that live in Hamilton live in 408, with me in 1508, and 2308.
Anyway, life is good, because I have a space heater and an electric blanket. …AND THE FRICKING POWER JUST WENT OUT AGAIN. And a minute later it’s back, but still. Grr. Anyway, the rest of the sentence was to read “and I just got nearly all of my Christmas shopping done on Barnes and Noble.com, as today is the last day of free shipping to arrive before Christmas, and as a plus, I just benefitted the Democratic party!”
And now, back to work on the stupid theatre lighting thing.
If you’re as big a dork as I am, you will probably want to sign up for Leaky’s e-mail and text message notification systems, which will let you know the publication date of HP6 the second it’s announced.
And it turns out that picture of Ron and Harry in Yule Ball regalia wasn’t leaked at all! It was released from the WB! To see it and the other image (Harry and Hermione before the first task), go here.
Sometimes I think I’m too fannishly obsessive to function. But then I get distracted by shirtless pictures of Simon or Spike or find some new clip of Billy singing or come upon some really impressive fanart or fanfiction for one of my favourite ships or some new theory on HP or Lost and– wait, what was I talking about?
