W00t! Joe Mallozzi has a couple of books I've read on his to read pile. Hopefully he'll pick some of them for his books of the month and I can actually join in the fun!

Brought the bike into Manhattan today to board the truck for Texas. It was pouring rain, so I did not take any pictures, will have to take them of the bikes unloading on Fri instead. I got a parking spot two blocks away, which was wonderful. After only a few minutes of swearing, because while the front wheel will go on 1,2,53 in the garage, whenever I'm in public it gives me a hard time. Let it never be said I do not do my part to amuse my fellow New Yorkers, I walked it the two blocks to the drop off. One coach and one drenched mentor were there waiting to help take the pedals off. Mine needed extra attention because the bike is eighteen years old, and the pedals have never before been removed, although they have had holes drilled in them to MacGyver the cages on.

So, pedals went eventually in plastic bag tied to handle bars, and bike went on the truck. There's no turning back now. At least if TehJerry wants his bike back. which he might not anyway as I've become quite attached to the pesky thing

Originally had planned to walk through the park, but it was still pouring, so took the bus instead and went to Barnes and Noble. Picked up my book club (number 2) book, and found about 10 more that I want. *headdesk* As mom sent back a whole stack with TehJerry, I really need to start reading a book a week. Was my plan for the summer anyway.

Went to church, ate cookies and drank coffee but did not buy more books (go me!), took bus back to my car and got home in plenty of time for the game.

Let's go METS!!!!

My English copy of Harry Potter arrived today! *bounces*
My ever observant brother noticed "it's got a different cover". Yes dear, it's the British one. Hence the UK at the end of Amazon? It's a wonder this boy has not yet made detective ;)

So: Tonite need to make the brownies for Friday nite book club not that I've made any headway in reading the book, as it's not got Harry or Potter in the title , wrap wedding present to take to rehearsal dinner tomorrow nite as I won't be able to carry both it and the Infamous Corset Dress on Sat. Pack bag of shower stuff and clothes for dinner, so can go to beach tomorrow and straight to wedding rehearsal from there.

FINISH OOTP, and take Half Blood Prince to beach tomorrow. Open new box of tissues for ending of OOTP.

Between beach, weddings, and book clubs, I won't be around much this weekend. Tis a good thing tho, as I am so far unspoiled, and really want to savor my read!

On watching Eureka last nite, I have to say that if there's ever a book eight or possibly a fic of some sort a great title would be "Harry Potter and the Ice Funnel of Death"

Saw a link to this on a another website:

LONDON (AP) -- J.K. Rowling says she won an argument with airport security officials in New York to carry the manuscript of the final ''Harry Potter'' book as carry-on baggage. Had security agents not relented, the British author said on her Web site, she might not have flown.

LOL. This is good news for me, as I plan to buy the boxed set of the first four when I'm in London in February. Possibly the first day, if I can drag sgcgategirl to Covent Garden.
