Regression

On Friday, I volunteered at Dana's store for their Midnight Magic Harry Potter Release Party. I spent two solid hours reading Tea Leaves to 500+ children. They were supposed to get a real fortune teller, but because of "family emergencies" they picked ME to be the fortune teller for the evening.

So, Dana and I each got our own copy of the book on Friday Night/Saturday Morning and have been reading together, meaning one of us and get ahead of the other by more than a few pages. As of 10am Sunday morning we are on page 447 out of 652. We are sick, sick people. I am a Harry Potter dork--but I definitely saw a lot of people Friday night who love Harry Potter TOO MUCH.

Last night I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factor. I really enjoyed it. It was true to the book (which I have very recently reread) so it made the deviations from the original movie easier to take. I thought the added back story to Willie Wonka himself was a bit much and over done.
I loved Violet Beauregard and Mike Teavee (and their respective chaperones). The Oompa-Loompas were fantastic and creepy and their songs are quite stuck in my head this morning.

Ok, Dana is eyeing Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, so I have to get started reading.

What is going to happen when I finish this book and have to wait 2+ years for the next one?

Ok, I lead a sad and depraved life, I know...
