Oh man oh man oh man did I have an awesome time last night.
You know how I said I was going to lay serious pipe in someone I'd never see again?  Scratch that last bit. Dana was AWESOME and we are totally going out again.  I never would have dreamed in a million billion fucktillion years that I'd run into to someone who was good, giving, and game for all my kinks at a motherfucking Harry Potter book release.  God damn, we practically rocked my old fishing cabin to the GROUND.  Booker's + Gray Goose + Old Raj + Sea Wynde + Grand Marnier + genuine Vermont maple syrup + Whole Earth organic cola (hey, what's the point of making a $4000 Hat if you're going to skimp on the cola.) = MAGIC HANGOVER-FREE SEX SAUCE.  Maybe it should be renamed the Felis Felicis, because that's how it makes one feel.

Protest was a wash.  Benham got arrested yesterday (WTF Birmingham cops?  I know you're a little touchy about people protesting All Woman because people have tried to blow it up twice, but there was no violence there, just a little friendly shouting.  He wasn't even reading any particularly lurid verses, just some words of encouragement) and everyone was quiet and just ready to go back home.

I've changed my mind about the book(which I bought at a grocery store near the cabin before I even went to Books-A-Million, BTW) after we started reading it aloud in our fake accents and giggling.  It's really, really good if you ignore the epilogue and don't take it seriously at all. I'll take my cousin's wife the copy I bought for her (she couldn't go due to having just had a kid a week ago) after I get some sleep.  I need sleep.

You're the second person on my Flist to talk about the epilogue. I have no idea, what with never having read any of the books, but I'm starting to see a pattern.

Since you've never read them and don't care (and everyone on this planet has already been spoiled), I'll explain: The main characters all pair off and spit out ginger babies like a bunch of Mormons and go on with their lives like they hadn't witnessed all the really fucked-up stuff that occurs in the rest of this book.

It could have worked after the first three, maybe even four books, but the tone of the last three was so different that a twee pat ending just doesn't work.

So basically she said, "... and they rode off into the sunset and lived happily ever after"?

Yes. And then their kids go to Hogwarts to set up book 8 (which will happen and have her name on it even if she doesn't really write it).

At some point you're gonna talk to me online or call me and tell me what the hell you're really going on off about here!

I'm sorry I missed you today...
