the irretable reader

warning: MASSIVE potter spoilers

• curse the blimey turd who leaked the plot. seriously - people have been waiting for seven books and god knows how many years to see the story come to a massive climax (and i'm not ashamed to admit i'm one of them), and you feel the need to leak it? please die.
• curse my good friend ton, who, unknowing of the fact that last friday i was really eager for the book to arrive the next day, spilled the story of the leaked plot to me. well - the answer to the Big Question: will the boy who lived, live? so i knew upfront. yet managed to convince myself that the leaked plot might all be a big hoax... and j.k. certainly knows how to convince us of the opposite...
• bless j.k.. i guessed so many things, but she still managed to surprise me with answers to even more loose ends. bless her. for writing the best children book series ever (if we call tolkien a series for adults, that is) and for giving so many adults the opportunity to feel child again.
• i pray to god that the american version won't have the "(...), YOU BITCH!", coming from mrs. weasly 'bleeped' out. i nearly died laughing - and it should be BITCH! and remain BITCH!
• bless yannick for sleeping so much this weekend, so that i had some time to read the book :)

another thing:

we plan on letting yannick eat a moorkop at his birthday. a moorkop is a chocolate covered, cream filled pastry and it's a single serving.

so.

this will be the very first time that he will eat refined sugar and i have no idea how he's going to respond.

fingers crossed.

and i'm out.

birfday

(crappy translation of a crappy dutch birthday song)

there is one who's birthday it is yes yes
you can see it is LIAM!!
we all think that's great yes yes
and that's why we sing merrily

happy birthday, liam!

speaking of which, i just saw a link on his site to a blog of a lady who has five children. FIVE. CHILDREN.

i would die. no really, i would.

(ps: the job is awesome and i'll update on everything later. i'm in the middle of reorganizing my life after a year without sleep, so a little more patience por favor).

i'm still alive - i'm just trying to get the hang of all of it at my new job.

I MISS THE STATES.

and that is all for today.
