These are exciting times! The last Harry Potter installment is out tomorrow at midnight. I am so geeked up, it's not even funny. I managed to convince my boss to approve a vacation day on Monday, because if I'm not done reading I'm just going to call out anyways. Somehow, she went for it.

My summer Sociology class is going SUPER well -- somehow I am pulling an A while doing C work at best. Not that this level of effort is even remotely new, but it is what it is. One thing that I am not crazy about at Virginia Wesleyan is that they actually differentiate between an A+ and a regular A. Isn't that the silliest thing? You're not considered a super star and don't get a 4.0 unless you have an A+. But I guess for someone who is getting A's without doing the work that goes into it, I shouldn't complain...

My previous hairdresser is returning to the area and rumor has it that she and my current beloved hairdresser may be going into cahoots. Double the appointment availability! Woo hoo! Hair threesomes for everyone!

I know that those of you that are reading challenged miss the pictures. The deal is that my main computer with the photo stuff on it has bitten the dust. Again. It's in DNR phase now and just holding out for a good deal on a replacement. So, y'all will have to go back to reading this shit again instead of just scanning the photos. We will attempt to make up for the down time by posting unauthorized photos of the librarian's son once we're up and running again. Just don't tell the librarian, please.

In the unintentionally humorous news front... A woman that I know at work has been going through some tough times. Deaths in the family, marital, health difficulties -- you name it. She went out on leave for about 2 months and while she was out she had a beautiful tattoo done that was, in her words, a memorial to the family members she had lost. It really was lovely -- which is an odd word to use for a tattoo. To me, the unintentionally humorous part is that she had the tattoo done on an area just above the rump that those in my circle regularly refer to as a tramp stamp. It was just so hard to see the seriousness of the memorial in that location. And because another friend has been talking about getting a tattoo in this location for a while -- in part because she likes the name, it's just that much more unintentionally humorous.

In other exciting news, tonight is the last night for the evil dipshit Jen to be Head of Household on Big Brother. She may not getting evicted as soon as I would like but at least she won't be in charge anymore. Thank God!

HPL OUT!
