Spain Colored Orange and Harry's Last Worldwide Spell

My friend Eric's band, Spain Colored Orange (they're fantastic, listen), well, they're up for Best Indie Rock band in the Houston Press Music Awards. So if you're in a voting mood, go hook them up with a vote. They deserve it.

And, I'm thinking we're all going to a Harry Potter extravaganza tonight.

Because that's the kind of parent I am. The kind that wakes a 22-month-old kid up to take him out after midnight. The kind that draws Harry Potter glasses on a one-month-old with eyeliner. Yeah. That's right. That kind. Actually, earlier in the day I was thinking I wouldn't pull the Hurricane out into the madness, but then I read that other responsible citizens were doing it. And I'm a lemming. A lemming with a camera.

Plus, the Cambridgians are in town, so I think we're all going to load up, then find the Harriest Potterist spot around, and drive by it screaming "Hermoine dies!"

Oh calm down of course we won't. Mainly because I have no idea if that's true. Plus, I think anyone who pulls that kind of crap should be hauled off to Azkaban or Arkansas. And if you even think about doing that to me, I'll cut you.

Seriously.

There will be no talking about the Potter con Queso for at least a week.

At least. Depending on nap schedules.

And with that, Evanesco.

I'm out.

I'm reading this and it clearly says "22 month old kid" and I miss one of the "2"'s. So I'm thinking, there is NO way I missed her having a baby. Did I? There isn't. Maybe she adopted? Crap. So I went and read 3 months back. Nothing. Then I went and read this post again and saw "22". I'm a dummy.

Remember when we thought the 'Cane would be as placid forever as he was when you applied that makeup?! Sigh. Long ago! However, like Mark Darcy feels about Bridget Jones, I like him "juat as he is."

On page 124.

HAHAHA - that is the greatest photo.

And by the way, when I got to the bit in your post that says "And Hermione dies" I thought EEEKKKK!!!! NOOOO!!! (I am only half way through the book as yet. I have just banned myself from the internet till I finish just in case someone writes something like that and then DOESN'T say "Kidding"!

Do love the photo.

Husband tells me Friday night, "You know, 3:30 in the morning would be the best time to go out and buy the book." I say, "Nah, I can go at 6:00 and it will be just fine."

I wake up at 3:30 and can't go back to sleep. What the heck? So I run out and grab it and start reading it sometime after 4:00a.m.

Finished at 5:33 p.m. and the worst part is not being able to say anything other than, "I finished reading the book."

I know, I know, Law Boy...I couldn't go back and edit it. Plus, I was in a hurry to get back to Harry Potter.

Finished the book. I will say no more. And I saw HAIRSPRAY...SO GREAT!

I finished the book too. So I can talk about it now. But not here. Out of respect for others. Etc.

"Hermione doesn't...does she?" Makes her sound like the Rizzo of Hogwarts!

"There are worse things I could do...go with a
Sly-the-rin or two..."

Or, like she colors her hair.
