Potter, Austen and Bourne
I did nothing today except dwell in the lives of others. I read Harry Potter (finished re-reading book 6 and began book 7), saw Becoming Jane at the movies (Fantastic! I am still sad about it and I want to re-read all the Austen books), and watched The Bourne Supremacy on TV (to prep for my viewing of the 3rd film later this month).
I have to say, it was NICE.
Not that my life is awful or anything. It isn't. In fact, it's been pretty good lately. But since I am in the midst of my longest official summer break since I was in college, I felt like indulging. And today, indulging meant watching others experiences. While eating a rice crispy treat.
Oh, I also bought my crappy books for the next stupid semester. This is something I've been dreading and carefully putting it off until nearly the last minute. I am not ready for it all to begin again. No way.
Wait...I bought my school books this morning...maybe that is why I then chose to spend the rest of the day in worlds that are not my own. Maybe I am trying to ignore my dread about the stress and work that lies ahead. Something about "ignorance being blissful" and denial comes to mind, but I will think about that some other day. Now, I must get back to Mr. Potter.

Ooooh, Book 7 is totally wonderful and chock-full of awesomeness.
don't give away the ending!!! i haven't read the 6th or 7th yet... though kq already ruined the 6th... boo her! it's funny that my first blog in a while was about a book too! look we're blogger twins for the moment... though fraternal as my post is about an entirely different book... oh and thanks for getting me addicted to twitter!
I'm not gonna give away the ending! Sorry, I don't remember giving away the ending to book 6 either. Your own fault for not reading it fast enough! ;)
