Tidbits of news

Since my life is pretty boring (work, boy, work), I decided that this post should be about the more interesting things that have happened lately.

1) Harry Potter!!! SPOILER ALERT****DO NOT READ BELOW THIS LINE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL PLOT DETAILS

Ok, so Harry Potter. I had to work on the 21st but Amazon was pretty punctual in getting it to the apartment so David was able to read it before I came home. I was a bit worried that I hadn't re-read books 5 or 6 but 7 re-capped pretty well. I enjoyed the transformation in Kreacher and the explanation of Dumbledore's earlier life. I thought the epilogue was pointless although I predict it will launch lots of fan fiction based on the lives of Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione's children.

2) With that said, on the 25th, my roomies for next year will finally be in the country at the same time! Which means I should call them and we should try to coordinate moving in and cleaning and budget things like that.

3) In the store last week I met a woman who flew down from Spokane to have her hair cut. Because she clearly couldn't trust anyone when she wanted to go back to her original color. Clearly. The first thing I said to her was "seriously?". And then I had to backtrack and say, well, of course you couldn't let anyone else touch your hair and of course, I understood as my stylist Kelly was the only person I would trust with my hair ever. The only thing that would have made it more perfect was if she had a tiny little dog with her.

4) I don't know if any of you watch Food Network at all but the winner of last year's Next Food Network Star, Guy Fieri, will be making an appearance at the Stanford Shopping Center on August 4th. I guess this will be my closest exposure to celebrity...even if it is D-list food network reality show celebrity.
