Read yesterday's Penny-Arcade, and thought, okay, I have seen the old guy in another PA, but where?

Aaron and I just finished Deathly Hallows - despite my having ripped through the last two within twelve hours of receiving them (within six hours for HBP, actually), we'd been taking it slowly, trying to savor it, reading two or three chapters between weekend chores, before bed, etc ( Read more... )

As of about half an hour ago, Aaron and I have our copies of Deathly Hallows.

My brother Jeff and I saw Prisoner of Azkaban tonight.

Remarks:
- Didn't get there until just before the Knight Bus arrives. I'll catch the beginning eventually, I guess.
- Subject line is the most awesome line I have ever heard in a movie.
- We sat in the same spot, relative to the screen, that the guys and I sat in a year and a half ago for ( Read more... )

Despite all the work I need to do, this is shaping up to be the Best Weekend Ever.
